The Best Glasses for Your Shape

Although you can buy whatever glasses you like, you can elevate your look by choosing ones

that best fit your face! Here are the best frames to wear based on your shape:

Oval Faces

Oval faces have slightly higher cheekbones and narrow toward the forehead. If you have this

shape, you’re in luck! Nearly every style looks good on you, regardless of frame shape, color, or

texture. You can wear oval, square, round, horn, rectangle, and large frames.

Square Faces

Square faces have a strong jawline with similar forehead width. You’ll want to add length and

soften your features, so get glasses that sit high on your nose bridge. Rounded glasses work

best to contrast any angular facial features and help ease your overall look.

Round Faces

If you have a round face, then you have an equal proportion of width and length. Avoid round

glass frames, and instead, choose angular frames to create more definition on your face. You

can add length to your features when you select wider glasses with full or semi-rims.

Diamond Faces

Diamond faces have wider cheekbones than the forehead and jawline. Although many glasses

suit this face shape, oval and rectangle ones are the best. They will help highlight your best

features without overwhelming your face.

Heart-Shapes Faces

These face shapes are wider at the forehead with high cheekbones and taper down to a narrow

chin. Rectangle, round, and oval glasses look best for this face type. Heavy and oversized

frames will add too much weight to the bottom of your face--you want to balance the width of

your face.

January is Glaucoma Awareness Month: Protect Your Vision with Early Detection in New Jersey

January 20, 2026

January is Glaucoma Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness about one of the leading causes of irreversible vision loss in the United States. Often called the “silent thief of sight,” glaucoma can develop without noticeable symptoms in its early stages, making regular eye exams in New Jersey essential for protecting long-term vision health. More than four million Americans are currently living with glaucoma, and many do not realize they have it. The condition damages the optic nerve, typically due to increased eye pressure, and often begins by affecting peripheral vision. Without early detection and treatment, this vision loss can become permanent. Who Is at Risk for Glaucoma? While anyone can develop glaucoma, certain factors can increase your risk, including: Being over the age of 60 Having a family history of glaucoma Belonging to certain ethnic backgrounds Living with diabetes or high eye pressure Understanding your personal risk and scheduling routine glaucoma screenings in New Jersey can make a meaningful difference in preserving your sight. The Importance of Comprehensive Eye Exams The most effective way to detect glaucoma early is through a comprehensive dilated eye exam. This exam allows your eye care provider to measure eye pressure, evaluate the optic nerve, and check for subtle changes in your field of vision—often before symptoms appear.
