EyeGlasses and Jamaicans

Eyeglasses are not just a tool for better vision; they’re a statement of your personal style, a protective barrier for your eyes, and an integral part of your daily life. Your glasses should reflect your needs and personality in Jamaica, where the vibe is always colourful and lively. Premier Optical’s mission is to get your looking and feeling amazing in your eyeglasses.

Here’s how to select the right pair:

1.     Understanding Lens Types

Selecting the perfect pair of eyeglasses goes beyond just the frames; the lens type ensures optimal vision and comfort. Whether you’re seeking clarity for reading, distance, or both, or perhaps a lens that adapts to the Jamaican sun, you need to understand the variety of lens types.

  • Single Vision Lenses: Ideal for those who need correction for one field of vision – either for distance, intermediate (computer use), or reading.
  • Bifocal Lenses: These lenses have two fields of vision: distance and reading, with a distinct line separating them.
  • Progressive Lenses: Offering a seamless transition between distance, intermediate, and reading fields, they don’t have the visible line that bifocals do.
  • Photochromic Lenses: These lenses adapt to light conditions. They darken under sunlight and return to clear in the absence of UV light – perfect for the Jamaican sun.

Always consult with the specialists at Premier Optical to ensure that the lens you need is compatible with your personal eye prescription.

2.     Picking the Perfect Frame Style

Choosing the right glasses is all about finding what fits your face best. Just like some clothes look better on different body types, some frames look better on different face shapes. You might love rectangle frames if you have a round face, while someone with a square face might go for round glasses.

Love a bit of retro style? Cat-eye glasses might be your pick, especially if you have a heart-shaped face. And if you need more clarification, aviator frames look good on almost everyone. Let’s break it down and find the best fit for you!

  • Rectangle: A classic choice that suits most face shapes, especially those with round or oval faces.
  • Round: Ideal for those with a square or angular face, as it softens the sharp angles.
  • Cat-Eye: This vintage-inspired style gives a fashionable flair and suits individuals with a heart-shaped face.
  • Aviator: A universal design that looks good on almost everyone but is especially flattering for those with an inverted triangle face shape.
