Tips for Buying the Right Reading Glasses Online

At Look Optic, we make buying glasses online extremely easy and offer a 90-day, risk-free trial so you can be sure you’ve found the perfect fit. We also wanted to provide you with a few buying tips here to make the process even easier!

Size

One of the first things you’ll need to consider when you buy glasses online is the size. With so many options available out there, the size can be a little tricky, especially when it comes to choosing stylish frames you can accessorize with. If you’ve worn glasses before, you probably have a good idea of the sizes that work for you. But don’t forget, sometimes, oversized frames can look great on the right person, especially when it comes to sunglass readers. If you’ve never worn glasses, our fit guide and virtual mirror can help you choose the right size.

Shape

When choosing the right pair of readers online, it’s important to select a shape that’s complementary to your face. For example, those with round faces will likely want to select a more angular pair of frames; those with more angular features should try a rounder frame. This helps provide a sense of balance to your features when wearing your reading glasses. While there are hundreds of different styles, there are only a few basic shapes, so trust your gut and choose what feels most comfortable for you.

Color

This is where you can play around a little! When buying reading glasses online, choose a color that suits your taste and style that will work well with the types of outfits you wear. If you like to dress casually and wear denim or neutral colors often, a pair of readers in blue or red will add a pop of color to your style. If you prefer to wear bright colors and vibrant patterns, a neutral pair might help provide a sense of balance and match anything in your closet. Selecting several different colors of a frame you like will make it much easier to accessorize and keep up with the changing styles each season.
