Frame Selection
Your eyeglass frames do more than hold your lenses—they define how you present yourself to the world every single day. Dr. George Saunders at Desert Vision Optometry recognizes that choosing the right frames requires personalized attention and access to exceptional variety.
With over 2,000 frames displayed throughout our spacious office, you’ll experience frame selection that goes beyond basic fitting to ensure your new eyewear enhances your features, suits your lifestyle, and reflects your unique personality perfectly.
Understanding Frame Selection
Frame selection involves much more than simply choosing frames that look appealing in the display case. Professional frame selection considers your facial features, lifestyle requirements, prescription needs, and personal preferences to identify eyewear that enhances your natural features while providing optimal comfort and functionality. The process requires understanding face shapes, frame materials, sizing measurements, and how different styles complement various facial structures.
Your prescription strength, bridge width, temple length, and lens requirements all influence which frames will work best for your specific needs. Additionally, factors like your daily activities, work environment, and fashion preferences play crucial roles in determining the most suitable frame options. Professional frame selection ensures your new eyewear not only looks great but also feels comfortable during extended wear.

FAQs
How do you measure eyeglass frames?
Measuring for eyeglass frames involves determining your pupillary distance, bridge width, and temple length to ensure proper fit and optimal vision correction. We use precise measuring tools to capture your facial dimensions and ensure the frames align correctly with your eyes. These measurements are crucial for both comfort and visual performance, particularly with progressive or multifocal lenses.
How to select eyeglass frames for your face?
Selecting frames for your face shape involves identifying whether you have a round, square, oval, heart-shaped, or diamond-shaped face and choosing complementary styles. Round faces benefit from angular frames, while square faces look great with curved or rounded styles. We provide personalized guidance to help you understand which frame shapes enhance your natural features and create the most flattering appearance.
What will clean green off eyeglass frames?
Green discoloration on eyeglass frames typically results from oxidation of metal components and can be cleaned with gentle soap and water or specialized frame cleaners. For stubborn green stains, a soft toothbrush with mild soap can help remove buildup without damaging the frame finish. We recommend bringing heavily discolored frames to our office for professional cleaning to avoid potential damage from harsh chemicals.
How to adjust eyeglass frames?
Adjusting eyeglass frames should be done carefully using proper tools to avoid breaking or damaging the frame material. Minor adjustments to temple arms can be made by gently bending at the hinge area, while nose pad adjustments require special pliers. We strongly recommend having adjustments performed professionally to maintain your frame warranty and prevent accidental damage.
What do the numbers on eyeglass frames mean?
The numbers on eyeglass frames indicate the lens width, bridge width, and temple length measurements in millimeters, typically displayed as three numbers separated by dashes or spaces. For example, 52-18-140 means 52mm lens width, 18mm bridge width, and 140mm temple length. These measurements help ensure proper fit and can be used to find similar-sized frames when replacing your current eyewear.
