Facial Asymmetry in Eyeglasses

Is Beauty symmetrical? Unconsciously, our brains tend to form expectations that everything should be balanced and symmetrical. This is genetically rooted and associated with good health. Symmetrical faces are desirable to most of us. The problem is that symmetry is rarely present in a face. Here is where a good optician is required. The optician looks at your face and selects a frame to balance your facial features. Opticians know that symmetry is a Universal desire. When the Optician adjusts the frame, one of the goals is to achieve visual harmony. 

It’s essential to ensure your eyeglasses are correctly adjusted to align their optics. Eyeglasses are not just fashion accessories; they are precise optical instruments. Achieving a perfect fit involves addressing the natural asymmetries of your face, such as differences in the structure of your nose, ears, and cheekbones. The ultimate goal is to achieve a three-point touch, ensuring the frame comfortably contacts your face and that its optics align with your visual axis. 

The shape and color of your eyeglasses are essential, as they set the mood for how you want to be perceived—bold and energetic or soft and quiet. Small frames make faces look bigger, and large frames make them look smaller. Everything matters, and your Optician is an expert in this.

 

Finally, when one eye is higher than the other, we may have the Optometrist prescribe a prism not only for visual performance but also for visual harmony. Optometrists and opticians collaborate seamlessly to ensure you see clearly and look your best. Combined expertise provides you with comprehensive eye care and stylish eyewear options. Trust in their dedication to enhance your vision and elevate your appearance with every visit. Experience the perfect blend of fashion!
