Hi, I'm a 13 year old girl. My glasses broke about 1-2 week(s) ago, and my parents set up an eye appointment for me at the end of next week. I have an oval face shape, light blue eyes, and a lazy eye. I have an idea of what kind of glasses I need but I'm not for sure. I need some help, what kind of glasses do I need due to my eyes and face shape?

1)Look at the shape of your chin. Do you have a round or square chin? If it's round, go for square shaped glasses and if its square, go for a round frame. For example, Nicki Hambleton Jones wears circular glasses to suit her square jaw.
2) You're only 13, so you still want to be on trend. Frame with thick sides look youthful, as do any frames that are black or brown. Personally I'd aviod gold frames or silver frames because I think they're for older people-however because you have blue eyes the silver frame wouldn't look too bad.
3) Consider hair colour. If you have dark brown-black hair, a good choice is a brown frame, as a black frame may make you look abit feirce. If you have fair hair, silver could be sophisticated but overall I think black looks the best
4) Ensure the glass part isn't too big for your eye, so that it doesn't look ridiculous.
That's about it, but if you remember two things, its to a)don't by 'Geek' glasses! b)Choose a pair you love not what your parents/friends love-glasses need to be worn with confidence! [ kittenlover2000's advice column | Ask kittenlover2000 A Question ]

Your best bet is to try on anything that strikes your fancy. Figure out which brands fit the size of your face (I couldn't wear anything at the store except for Roots brand glasses, for some reason) and what colours and shapes are flattering. Oval faces are lucky because they can wear just about anything, but you'll quickly see what looks good and what doesn't. [ NinjaNeer's advice column | Ask NinjaNeer A Question ]
