VisionQuest Child Patients

Selecting a flattering pair of glasses isn’t just about vision, it’s also a style statement. At VisionQuest Eyecare in Greenwood and Geist, Indiana, our goal is to help you find eyewear that boosts your confidence and complements your lifestyle. With the expertise of our opticians and a wide selection of frames, choosing the right pair becomes easier and more enjoyable.

Why Face Shape Matters

Your face shape determines how eyewear frames align with your facial features, enhancing balance, defining proportions, and drawing attention to your best attributes. Here’s a quick breakdown of common face shapes:

  • Oval: Rounded jaw, slightly wider cheekbones, gently tapering forehead

  • Round: Full cheeks, rounded chin, width and length in balance

  • Square: Strong jawline, broad forehead, angular features

  • Heart‑Shaped: Broad forehead, high cheekbones, narrower chin

  • Diamond: Narrow forehead and jawline, wider cheekbones

Frame Tips by Face Shape

Here’s a balanced, style-forward guide with practical recommendations:

Oval Face

Best glasses for face shape

An oval face has versatile proportions, you can wear most styles.

Try:

  • Geometric shapes (rectangle, square)
  • Bold top-lines (aviators, wayfarers)
  • Oversized styles for trend and balance

Avoid tiny frames that disguise your facial structure.

Round Face

Add definition and structure to soften roundness.

Try:

  • Angular frames (rectangle, square)
  • Rectangle with high browline
  • Thin metal or semi-rimless styles

Avoid: Round frames and overly wide designs.

Square Face

Soften angular features with curves.

Try:

  • Oval or round frames
  • Curvy browlines, soft offsets
  • Lightweight materials like acetate

Avoid: Sharp-edged frames that accentuate angles.

Heart‑Shaped Face

Balance a broader forehead and narrower chin.

Try:

  • Bottom-heavy frames (cat-eye, aviator)
  • Light-colored or rimless styles
  • Frames wider at bottom

Avoid: Heavy browlines that make the forehead look heavier.

Diamond Face

Highlight your cheekbones with distinctive styles.

Try:

  • Oval frames or rimless styles
  • Eyewear with decorative upper rims
  • Cat-eye to balance cheekbone width

Avoid: Narrow frames that hide your best features.
