ReadingGlassesEtc Custom Lens Shapes-
Shape and style- Keep in mind what you are going to use your reading glasses for. You are probably not going to be walking around with reading glasses on. Rectangular shapes are easier to see over versus rounder shapes. We designed these shapes to allow for both function and fun, but there are other considerations.
ROUND AND OVAL SHAPES
About Round and Oval Lens Shapes-
ROUND - A classic "P3" roundish shape. Note that because it is rounder, there is more space up and down in large sizes. If you go above a 52mm lens size it will tend to look "owlish". The round shape provides a great retro style.
OVAL - (See above, less owlish in large sizes). If you need a larger size and want to keep the top line of the lenses relatively lower, go with this. The oval shape also provides a great retro style.
RECTANGLE/SQUARE SHAPES
About Rectangle/Square Shapes-
Usually rectangular and square shapes compliment faces with oval and rounder shapes. For reading glasses, having a flatter top helps with seeing over them. Note that the 7457 is a deeper shape than the others.
HALF EYE SHAPES
About the Half Eye Shapes-
Half Eye reading glasses are designed so that you can see over the top of the lenses easily. The lenses are usually flatter on top and the bridge and temples are positioned higher on the lens so that they sit lower relative to your eyes. The 7632 shape is our most popular; narrow and low sitting.
CAT EYE SHAPES
About Cat Eye Shapes-
Cat eye shapes are fun and complimentary shapes for women. Cat eyes tend to provide an uplifting effect.
FACET SHAPES
About Facet Shapes-
Facet shapes have more angles. These shapes tend to stand out more offering a bit of style to eyewear that normally blends in.

The best way to choose, is to pick a frame size you own, or have tried on that is comfortable for you. The frame size is printed on the inside of one of the temples.
