Comfort Considerations
Comfort is crucial when selecting glasses. You wear them every day so they should feel good on your face. Lens coatings play a significant role in this, impacting the comfort of your eyes and helping to reduce strain.
Choosing the right frame material is the other part of the equation. Lightweight plastics and durable metals like titanium are ideal for comfortable, all-day wear. Glasses might not seem heavy when you hold them in your hand, but after a long day, you can notice the weight. If you have sensitive skin, hypoallergenic materials can reduce irritation.
Selecting frames that complement your facial shape can be an art. Picking the right style will help the glasses feel more comfortable and help you feel good about wearing them.
For round faces, angular frames such as square or rectangular shapes add definition. Square faces benefit from round or oval frames that soften strong jawlines. Oval faces can wear most frame shapes, but frames wider than the broadest part of the face often look best. Heart-shaped faces look great with aviator or rimless styles.
Don’t worry if this feels overwhelming, our team is here to help guide you through the process of trying on frames. There is no need to feel rushed to pick a pair of frames, people usually have to try on several pairs before they find the right fit.
Sunglasses are not just a fashion statement, they are invaluable for protecting your eyes from harmful UV rays. At Tonic Eye Care, we offer a variety of sunglass frames fit for everyone and lenses to suit different activities.
You can add polarized lenses to reduce glare from reflective surfaces like water and roads, enhancing visual comfort and clarity, particularly for driving at night and outdoor activities.
Different lens tints also offer specific benefits:
Without an accurate measurement of your eyes, your glasses won’t be as effective and will feel awkward. Measurements like your pupillary distance and the ocular center height of your glasses ensure your lenses are focusing light on your eyes correctly.
These measurements need to be taken in person by a trained professional to get a precise fit, particularly the ocular center height which changes depending on how each frame fits on your individual face. Ordering glasses online without these measurements is a surefire way to lead to buyer’s remorse. At Tonic Eye Care we take every step to ensure a personalized fit for any frame you choose.
At Tonic Eye Care, we have glasses for everyone. For individuals with conditions like presbyopia, we offer progressive lenses and custom fitting. For those who spend a lot of time looking at screens, have more sensitive eyes, or have computer vision syndrome, we offer specialized anti-fatigue lenses to help alleviate eye strain.
No matter the shape of your face, the nature of your prescription, or any special considerations we have glasses and sunglasses for you. Stop by our clinic to browse our selection of frames and lenses in our glasses shop. We’ll help you see clearly and look great doing it.
Eye See…Eye Learn® is a not-for-profit program by the Ontario Association of Optometrists (OAO) designed to detect, diagnose, and treat children with vision problems when they begin in Junior Kindergarten, so that every child can see and learn to the best of his/her ability. Each Junior Kindergarten student is encouraged to visit a Doctor of Optometry for a comprehensive eye exam, which is covered by provincial health insurance (OHIP). If the child requires eyeglasses at the time of the examination, the Eye See…Eye Learn® program will provide one free pair of glasses courtesy of participating optometrists and corporate partners Plastic Plus and Modern Optical Canada. The frames are fashionable and are made with high quality and impact resistant polycarbonate lenses. The estimated value of the glasses is over $250.
The Eye See…Eye Learn® program is available until June 30, 2020 to children born in 2015 that are in any junior kindergarten program. Beginning July 1, 2020 through to June 30, 2021, children born in 2016 will be eligible for the program.
