When the summer rolls around, you might think about updating your style for the season. For many people, this includes getting a new pair of frames for their eyeglasses that evoke more of a summertime feel. If you are looking for a new pair of eyeglasses, you need to make an appointment for an eye exam with one of our optometrists. Our team at Family Vision Center is here to help you every step of the way to get the frames you love this summer. We have offices in Stratford and Bridgeport.

Eyeglass Frame Colors

Many people like to wear lighter colors in the summer. Not only does it simply feel more seasonal, but it also helps to reflect away some of the sunlight instead of absorbing it, making you feel hotter. The same can be done with eyeglass frames by switching to a lighter color. Summer frames may have brighter colors as well. If you like black frames during most of the year, try on a lighter pair to see if it accentuates your summer look.

Frame Shapes

The frame shape that you choose should balance your facial features. For instance, if you have a wide forehead, getting narrower frames can help to offset that width. If your face is a bit square, round frames can make your face appear a bit more oval. Take a look at your features or consult with your eye care professional for a second opinion so that you can decide which frames would best work for your face.

Schedule Your Eye Exam

To get new frames, you may also need a new prescription. If you haven’t had your annual eye exam, it’s a great time to schedule this so that your vision can be checked as well as screenings can be done. Our optometrists at Family Vision Center are here to ensure you get the prescription you need and the frames you love! Call our Bridgeport office at (203) 333-2020 or our Stratford office at (203) 377-2020 today to schedule your exam.
