- How do I clean my glasses?Start by holding the frames under a faucet of warm water. Get your fingers soapy and GENTLY rub the lenses and the frame. This will remove grease and dirt without scratching the lenses. Next, gently dab your lenses with a clean soft cloth until dry. Rubbing dry lenses vigorously can easily scratch them, so be careful. You can also purchase a lens cleaning kit at Stanton Optical.
- Which frame shape is best for my face shape?The simple rule is to select a pair of frames that serves as a contrast to your face shape and the size of the frame is scaled to fit your face. For a square face, choose oval or round frames to soften the jawline, rimless or semi-rimless are great options too. For a round or oval face shape, select frames that are angular shaped such as square, rectangular, or cat-eye to help provide more definition. If you have a heart-shaped face, select frames with a narrow, bottom-heavy frame, round or square with rounded edges, cat-eye works too. In the end, the best tip is to try everything and wear what makes you feel good. You might surprise yourself.

- We can adjust and clean your frames for free in-store. Visit us at your convenience. If you don't have a local store nearby, you can adjust your eyewear by yourself with these easy instructions.
