Commitment Issues With Your Glasses?

“You’re blind!  And you can’t see.  You need to wear some glasses like DMC.” – Run DMC

Thinking about freshening up your eyewear?  My advice is to keep it simple.  There are a couple of basic things to do first.  1) Know the shape of your face.  A square face looks best in rounded frames and an oval face looks best in a rectangular frame.  2) Consider where you’ll wear your glasses when picking a color. 

There are lots of great frames out there that won’t break the bank so I suggest getting two pair.  I recently took a client to Lens Crafters and the selection was impressive.  If you want to go the independent route, check out Moscot in New York.  The staff is knowledgeable and their selection is deep and unique.  Get a neutral for the office and a pair with a little flavor for the evenings and weekends.   

If after all of this, don’t worry if you don’t like the glasses you bought.  It’s just a pair of glasses, not a wife and your old glasses will easily take you back.
