Choosing new glasses should be the enjoyable part of your visit to the opticians, not an overwhelming one. Your frames are something you wear every day, so they should feel comfortable, look great and suit your personal style. If you have ever asked yourself “what glasses suit me?”, this guide explains how to choose glasses frames and how we help you find a pair you will love wearing.
Your face shape is a sensible place to begin when you choose glasses frames, because the right pair should suit the face you see in the mirror. Every face is different, which is why we encourage you to try different shapes, colours and styles to see what really suits you. A frame can look very different once it is on your face, so trying it on tells you far more than looking at it on a display.
When you visit us, we take the time to understand your style, your needs and how you use your glasses day to day. We then guide you through our collection and help you find frames that suit your face shape, complement your features and work with your prescription. We also offer options for smaller face shapes, so there is plenty to try.
Once you have chosen your favourites, we tailor the lenses to your prescription using high quality lens technology, giving you clear, comfortable vision throughout the day. We explain how each frame will work with your lenses, so you leave with glasses that look good and feel right.
We stock a wide range of glasses frames, so you can compare styles side by side. Our collection includes:
Our designer prescription glasses are carefully selected for quality, fit and style. You will find brands including Tom Ford Eyewear, Porsche Design, Chopard, Face a Face Paris and WooW. For a more understated look, ProDesign Denmark offers simple Scandinavian design, while William Morris brings together classic British styling with a modern feel.
We believe good eyewear should be available for every budget, so we also offer a wide range of affordable glasses frames. Our Style 129 collection gives excellent value, with complete glasses available from just £129. These frames can be fitted with the same high quality lenses as our premium brands, which makes them a practical choice for everyday wear or a second pair of glasses.
The best frames fit around your daily routine as well as your face. During your visit, we talk through how you use your eyes at work, at home, when driving, on your hobbies and when using screens. This helps us recommend glasses that truly work for you.
Because you wear your frames every day, comfort matters as much as appearance. If you want something hard wearing for daily life, ask our team about our durable everyday options.
The lenses you choose shape how your glasses perform, so we talk these through with you alongside your frames:
We work almost exclusively with Rodenstock lenses, and you can find out more about our spectacle lenses.
We offer prescription and non-prescription sunglasses, with brands including Tom Ford Eyewear, Maui Jim, Porsche Design, Chopard and Wolf. Polarised lenses reduce glare, and tinted, coloured lenses help you see more comfortably outdoors.
Contact lenses give you a wider, more natural field of vision without frames, and they stay in place when you are active. We offer daily, 2 weekly and monthly contact lenses, and many people switch between contact lenses and glasses depending on the situation. Our guide to glasses or contact lenses explains more.
If your child needs a little extra support with their vision, we offer a wide range of children’s glasses in Warwickshire.
The best way to choose eyewear is to see it, try it on and get expert advice. Our team will help you find a pair that feels comfortable and suits your face. Every pair of glasses we supply is precisely fitted and checked, and we do not charge for adjustments to glasses we have supplied. Every recommendation we make also starts with a thorough eye test in Warwickshire.
