As the premier optometrist in Aiea, HI, Edwin Y. Endo, OD & Associates knows prescription sunglasses can be both functional and fashionable. When you’re looking for a new pair of shades, your face shape plays a major role in finding the pair of sunglasses that will accentuate your best features.

To help you find the perfect fit for your face, Aiea’s leading optometrists have compiled some advice:

• Choose Angular Frames For Round & Oval Faces: Individuals with round or oval face shapes will look best in sunglasses with distinct angles. Retro square frames, such as the Wayfarer frames by Ray-Ban, are both trendy and flattering. The cat-eye frame is also a popular choice for wearers with round faces. 
• Go Round For Square & Long Faces: As you can see, choosing sunglasses with features contrary to those of your face is the best strategy when you’re looking for a flattering pair. The rounded Maui Jim frames pictured at the right are a great option for people with long and square face shapes, and frames that are perfectly circular are making a comeback as well. 
• When In Doubt, Choose Aviators: These frames are universally flattering for all face shapes, and they’re also a timeless classic. The Tom Ford frames shown here are favorites with eye doctors and patients alike.
