When it comes to eyeglasses, Cincinnati, Ohio patients know there's more to choosing frames than just picking a pair that looks good on the shelf. The right designer frames should match your face shape, fit your lifestyle, and express your personality—all while helping you see clearly and comfortably.

At White Oak Vision Center, we carry a curated selection of designer glasses for women, men, and kids. Whether you're updating your look, stepping into glasses for the first time, or replacing your everyday pair, here’s how to choose frames that feel like they were made just for you.

Start with Your Face Shape

The best frame for your face complements your natural angles and contours. Not sure what suits you? Here are some quick tips:

  • Round Faces: Angular frames like rectangular or square shapes add structure and contrast.
  • Oval Faces: Almost any style works, but bold shapes (like cat-eye or geometric) help add character.
  • Square Faces: Round or oval frames help soften strong jawlines.
  • Heart-Shaped Faces: Bottom-heavy frames or light-colored styles help balance wider foreheads.

Let Your Lifestyle Lead

Are you a busy professional on the go? A parent juggling it all? A college student staring at screens all day? Your lifestyle should guide your frame choice:

  • Active Lifestyles: Flexible, lightweight materials like titanium or TR90 resist breakage and are comfy for all-day wear.
  • Digital Natives: Ask about blue light lenses to reduce screen strain.
  • Outdoorsy Types: Transition lenses or prescription sunglasses can protect your eyes and simplify your day.
  • Parents & Kids: Look for durable, scratch-resistant coatings. Bonus: many designer brands now offer pediatric options!

Express Yourself with Style

Designer frames aren’t just about labels—they’re about identity. Whether your vibe is bold and modern or classic and understated, you’ll find options that align with your personal style. At White Oak Vision Center, we carry frames from brands like:

  • Ray-Ban®
  • Calvin Klein®
  • Jimmy Choo®
  • Nine West®
  • Flexon®

Not sure where to start? Bring in photos of styles you like—we’ll help you build a look that’s entirely your own.

Trends to Watch in 2025

  • Geometric & Hexagon Shapes: For a modern, edgy aesthetic.
  • Transparent Frames: Crystal-clear or pastel-tinted options offer subtle flair.
  • Sustainable Materials: Eco-conscious is always in.
  • Bold Colors: Emerald green, cobalt blue, and amber hues are making waves.

Want trendy without being too trendy? Our eye care team can help you find something fresh that still fits your everyday life.
