Choosing a new pair of glasses is both a practical decision and a personal one. Eyewear plays a critical role in how clearly you see the world, but it also becomes an important part of your personal style.
At the Optical Dispensary within Innovative Eye Care, we take a personalised approach to frame selection. Our team works with each patient to ensure their eyewear provides:
Whether you are visiting our Adelaide practice on Wakefield Street or our Henley Beach practice on Seaview Road, selecting eyewear is a collaborative process guided by experienced optical professionals.
While lenses provide the vision correction, the frame plays an important role in how well your glasses perform.
Frames influence:
Selecting the right frame helps ensure your glasses perform exactly as intended.
This is particularly important when wearing advanced lenses such as progressive lenses or personalised lenses.
Face shape is one of the factors that can help guide frame selection.
While there are no strict rules, certain frame shapes often complement different facial structures.
Round faces typically have softer contours with similar width and height.
Frames with more defined lines can provide contrast and structure. Examples include rectangular or square designs.
Square faces tend to have strong angles and defined jawlines.
Frames with softer curves or round shapes can help balance these features.
Oval faces are well balanced and tend to suit a wide range of frame styles.
Many frame shapes work well with oval facial structures.
Heart-shaped faces often feature a wider forehead and narrower chin.
Frames with balanced proportions can complement this shape effectively.
Our team helps patients explore frame options that enhance their natural features while maintaining comfort and optical performance.
Comfort is one of the most important aspects of eyewear.
A well-fitted frame should:
Frames that are too tight or too loose can cause discomfort and may affect how lenses perform.
During your consultation at the Optical Dispensary, we carefully adjust frames to ensure an optimal fit.
The material used to construct a frame can influence its comfort, durability, and appearance.
At the Optical Dispensary we offer frames crafted from high-quality materials including:
Titanium frames are lightweight, durable, and highly resistant to corrosion. They are often used in minimalist eyewear designs.
Acetate frames are known for their rich colours and polished finishes. Many premium eyewear designers use handcrafted acetate to create distinctive frame designs.
Stainless steel frames offer durability and a refined aesthetic, often used in lightweight modern eyewear.
Each material offers different benefits, and our team helps patients select frames that suit both their style and lifestyle.
Frame selection should also consider the type of lenses being used.
Certain lens designs perform best with particular frame shapes and sizes.
For example:
At Innovative Eye Care we ensure that the selected frame supports the optimal performance of the lenses.
Lifestyle plays a key role in selecting eyewear.
During a dispensing consultation we often ask patients questions such as:
These considerations help guide both frame and lens selection.
For example, someone who works extensively with digital devices may benefit from frames that accommodate specialised computer lenses.
The Optical Dispensary offers a curated selection of eyewear designers known for their craftsmanship and innovation.

These designers create frames that combine advanced engineering with distinctive aesthetics.
Many frames are handcrafted using premium materials and innovative manufacturing techniques.
This curated approach ensures that our patients have access to eyewear that stands apart from mass-produced collections.
Achieving the best visual outcome requires accurate measurements to ensure lenses are positioned correctly within the frame.
At the Optical Dispensary we utilise ZEISS Visufit technology, which captures highly precise measurements using a multi-camera system.
This technology creates a detailed three-dimensional model of the patient’s face and frame positioning.
These measurements allow lenses to be customised with exceptional precision, improving visual clarity and comfort.
Eyewear is worn every day and becomes a defining part of personal style.
Some patients prefer minimalist frames that blend seamlessly with their appearance, while others enjoy bold designs that make a statement.
At the Optical Dispensary we encourage patients to explore a variety of frame styles and colours to find eyewear that feels both comfortable and expressive.
