Large-framed glasses are making a come back. Read more to find out how to get the right frame for you—and how to pull them off!
1. If your a first time glasses buyer, try a frame that more subtle and slim first. Once you get used to your freshly framed face, try a look that is more chunky for this trend.
2. Not all frames were created equal. Don't buy unless you've tried the frames on, as they may look great in the picture but look differently once they're on your face. Head over to eyeglassfactory.com for our At Home Try-On and Virtual Try-On services to pick the frame that's perfect for your face.
3. With the chunky frame look, it's all about the shape. If you have a rounder face, try a more geometric frame to compliment it, and vice versa if you have a more angled face.
4. We know that the look is called geek chic, but choose glasses that will make you look smarter, not nerdier! Try tortoiseshell frames for a mature, elegant look.
5. The chunky frame look is all about making a statement. So rock the look with confidence and be prepared for comments and compliments!

If you've ever worn glasses, you've probably experienced just how annoying and inconvenient dirty lenses can be. What's worse is when you go to clean that
one spot off of your lens and you accidentally scratch it! Yup, we've all been there. Read below for what we think the best tips and tricks are for keeping your glasses looking clean and new.
1. Use a Microfiber Cloth
- Microfiber clothes are made from ultra soft fibers. Unlike using other fabrics or disposable textiles like tissues, using a microfiber cloth will not leave any scratches or residues behind on your lens. Can be used wet or dry.
2. White Vinegar
- Splash a few drops of white vinegar onto your lenses to dissolve any oils left from your fingers or to loosen any dirt particles. Gently run under tap water and let dry. Using white vinegar, unlike other cleaners like Windex, will not leave behind harmful chemicals that might otherwise damage your lens.
3. Toothbrush Method
- Use a new toothbrush to wipe off excess oils and makeup off of the bridge and avoid buildup. Dip it in glasses cleaner if your glasses are extra dirty.
4. Get a Case
- Maybe this one seems a bit obvious. Investing in a good home for your glasses will prevent them from being scratched, bent, or sat on. We recommend get a boxy one made out of a hard plastic. Wrap your glasses in a microfiber cloth before you put them in for further protection!

Our Kids Right to Sight Program aims to help children, veterans, and homeless people in our community by donating free glasses to anybody that needs them.
Itzel Sandoval is twelve years old and attends the local school Santa Barbara Junior High. She was referred to our Kids Right to Sight Program for her far-sighted vision, and has recently received a pair of glasses to help her sight.
Our Kids Right to Sight Program ensures that for every pair of glasses purchased, someone in need will also receive a pair. We do this with the help of your direct referral and the help of various nonprofit organizations.
To learn more about
Kids Right to Sight and our referral program, visit our website at
