Frames

 Thomas Turtle Opticians attends all major trade shows in order to maintain our large inventory of up-to-date frame styles and latest eyeglass lens technology.

New Frame Material - Titanium

  • Titanium is extremely lightweight, about half as lightweight as stainless steel.

  • Won't Corrode

  • Titanium won't react with the patients' skin pH, the climate, or the amount of perspiration.

  • Strong & Durable

  • Durability helps to justify the higher price because of frame longevity.

  • Strong enough to hold up to people whom are hard on their frames, and great for children.

  • Hypoallergenic

  • Titanium will not react adversely with the body.


    Face Shapes - A Guide to Frame Style vs. Frame Shape

    Oval Face - Considered to be the most versatile with frames because of its balanced proportions. Frame Options: Wide or wider than the broadest part of the face; Almond or oval shaped

    Base Down Face - Triangle face has a narrow forehead and widens at the cheek and chin. Frame Options: Frames that draw attention upwards; Bold frames, cat-eye shapes

    Base Up Face - Triangle (heart shaped) face is widest at the forehead and narrowest at the chin. Frame Options: Frames that draw attention downwards; Rimless styles, very thin metals or plastics

    Square Face - Characterized by a strong jaw line and broad forehead. Width and length are in the same proportions. Frame Options: Rounder, narrower styles that soften facial angle; narrow ovals.

    Round Face - Curved lines, and the width and length are in the same proportions. Frame Options: Frames that are wider than they are deep; angular, narrow frames.

    Oblong Face - Longer than it is wide, and is characterized by a long straight cheekline and longer nose. Frame Options: Frames with top-to-bottom depth or decorative temples to add width.

    Diamond Face - Narrowest at the browline and jawline. Cheekbones frequently high and dramatic. Frame Options: Frames with detailing or distinctive browlines; cat-eyes or ovals.
