Finding the right pair of glasses is about more than just correcting your vision—it’s also about finding a style that suits your personality, fits your face shape, and supports your daily routine. If you’re wondering where to buy designer frames locally, Castledowns Vision Centre in Edmonton offers a curated eyewear experience that combines fashion, function, and professional care. Here, you’ll find a wide range of designer frames, expert guidance, and personalized fittings—all under one roof.
Why You Should Get Your Frames from an Optometrist
Buying your glasses from an optometrist’s office ensures more than just a trendy look—it guarantees accuracy, comfort, and support. Our opticians and optometrists work together to make sure your prescription is correct, your lenses are custom-fitted, and your frames are properly adjusted to your face.
Online or big-box options often skip this important step, leaving you with glasses that don’t fit quite right or that fail to match your lifestyle. At Castledowns Vision Centre, we also offer continued support for adjustments, repairs, and lens care—so you’re never left on your own once you leave with your new frames.
Finding Glasses That Fit Your Face Shape
Everyone’s face is different, and certain frame styles are more flattering depending on your face shape. Here are some quick tips we use during personalized fittings:
- Round faces often suit angular frames, such as rectangular or square shapes, which help add structure and definition.
- Oval faces are versatile and can pull off most frame styles—balanced proportions mean you can experiment with bold or minimalist looks.
- Square faces benefit from round or oval frames, which can soften strong jawlines and add contrast.
- Heart-shaped faces look great with bottom-heavy frames or cat-eye styles that balance a broader forehead.
- Diamond-shaped faces pair well with frames that highlight the eyes, like oval or upswept styles.
Our team can walk you through the best options based on your features, preferences, and lifestyle.
The Importance of Choosing the Right Lenses
Clear, comfortable vision comes from more than just stylish frames. Once you’ve chosen your frames, we’ll help you explore the best lens types and coatings to match your lifestyle. We offer a variety of lens treatments designed to enhance visual comfort and long-term eye health, including:
- Anti-reflective coatings: Reduce glare from screens, headlights, and indoor lights.
- Blue light filters: Help prevent digital eye strain and support better sleep.
- Digital lenses: Tailored for frequent screen use, offering sharper focus and reduced fatigue.
- High-index lenses: Thinner, lighter lenses for higher prescriptions.
- Multifocal and bifocal lenses: Combine distance and reading prescriptions in one.
- Progressive lenses: Seamless transitions between different distances with no visible lines.
- Transition lenses: Automatically darken outdoors and clear indoors for all-day comfort.
We use premium Nikon lenses, known for their optical clarity and performance, to ensure you receive high-quality results with every pair.
