Frame Selection Including Low Bridge

Personalized frame selection assistance, including a wide range of low-bridge frames designed for patients with flat nose bridges or high cheekbones.

Frame selection is the process of choosing eyeglass frames that fit properly, complement your facial features, and suit your lifestyle. Low-bridge frames are specifically designed for patients who have a low or flat nasal bridge, prominent cheekbones, or a wider facial structure — features that cause standard frames to slide down or rest on the cheeks.

Our opticians assess your facial measurements, bridge anatomy, and lifestyle needs, then guide you through our curated collection of frames. For patients who need low-bridge designs, we offer frames with adjustable nose pads, wider nose pads, or frames built on an Asian-fit or universal-fit model.

Poorly fitted frames cause constant slipping, discomfort, and optical misalignment that reduces visual quality. The right frame — properly fitted for your unique facial anatomy — ensures your lenses sit exactly where they need to for optimal vision, all-day comfort, and a look you love.

FAQ

Answers to help
you make an informed decision.

Who might consider this treatment?

Anyone looking for new glasses is welcome, including patients with a flat nasal bridge, high cheekbones, or a wider face who struggle with standard frames slipping or sitting on their cheeks. We also serve patients of all facial structures who want expert guidance in finding a frame that truly fits and flatters.

What is the typical experience?

Our opticians will measure your face, assess your bridge anatomy, and walk you through our collection with personalized recommendations. For patients needing low-bridge designs, we'll highlight the specific frame styles and features that will stay in place and feel comfortable all day.

How long does it usually take?

Frame selection consultations typically take 15 to 30 minutes. Once you've chosen a frame, lens fabrication takes approximately 7 to 10 business days, after which we'll verify the fit and optical quality before you take your new glasses home.

Is there anything to keep in mind?

The right frame fit isn't just about comfort — it affects how your lenses perform optically. A frame that sits too low or tilts forward can shift the lens position and compromise your visual clarity. Our team will ensure your chosen frame is both stylish and optically sound.

What should I know about recovery after?

There's no recovery period. Once your new frames are ready, we'll adjust them to your face before you leave so they feel right immediately. If anything shifts or needs tweaking in the first few weeks, bring them back in anytime for a complimentary adjustment.
