Keeping you in the frame

Keeping you in the frame

For a long time now glasses have been about much more than simply aiding sight. They are an essential blend of form
and function, a stylistic statement about who you are, and fundamentally affect how your face is framed and perceived
by others.
At Glen Barr we stock a great range of frames from the practical through to the latest designer styles. Leading brands
more.

Your frame of reference

Your ideal choice in glasses frames depends on a number of factors. Before
dropping by why not consider the following:
  • colour and contrast
  • 1. Colour and contrast: depending on your face shape, some frames might suit you more than others. Contrast is key, and more angular frames set on a rounder face look fantastic, and round frames on a more angular face are equally effective. Colour also plays a key role, as black accentuates the eyes, but coloured frames will complement other features such as your complexion and hair.




  • size
  • 2. Size: Frames vary in size and while larger frames are currently the vogue, a good look will always come down to what complements your specific face shape and features. Our staff are always on-hand to advise and showcase frame types with you, and trying them on is the best way to see what works!





  • lifestyle
  • 3. Lifestyle: If you have an active lifestyle, but don’t like the idea of  trying out contact lenses , this plays a decisive factor in what frames might be suitable for you. Robust steel frames tend to last longer if you run or do any sort of exercise, whereas plastic frames warm up with body heat and tend to need tightening more often over time.
