Eyewear
The right frame flatters your face, carries your prescription well and suits the way you live. Our frame consultation brings all three together, with the eye of a dispensing optician who has styled faces for 40 years.
The consultation
01
Face shape, the width of your temples, the height of your cheekbones, the length of your nose and the set of your eyes all change which frames will sit well and look balanced. We bring a selection that works with your features rather than against them.
02
A strong prescription needs a frame that keeps the lenses thin and light: the right eye size, a well-centred lens and a thoughtfully chosen lens material. Varifocal wearers need enough depth in the frame for the reading zone. We check all of this before you fall in love with a frame.
03
Glasses for the office, for driving, for sport and for evenings out make different demands. We will ask how and where you wear your glasses and recommend accordingly, including when a second pair makes sense.
How it works
30minutes, give or take
Allow around 30 minutes. We talk about what you like and dislike about your current glasses, measure your face and fitting, and try frames from the collection. There is never any obligation.
What you like and dislike about your current glasses, and how you wear them day to day.
Your face and fitting, so the lenses sit exactly where your eyes look.
Frames from the collection, from Cartier and Lindberg to Cutler & Gross and Tart.
Every frame is adjusted to you before you leave, and there is never any obligation.
A starting point
A simple guide to begin with. In the chair we look at far more than outline, which is why the consultation matters.
Soft curves and full cheeks are balanced by angular frames: squares, rectangles and geometric shapes add definition.
A strong jaw and broad forehead are softened by round and oval frames, or by a slimmer metal line.
Balanced proportions suit most shapes. Choose a frame about as wide as the broadest part of your face.
A wider forehead and narrow chin are balanced by frames with more weight lower down, or a lighter rimless look.
