The Ultimate Guide to Choosing Eyeglasses by Bn Baijal

Introduction

In an age where screens dominate our lives and fashion is a form of self-expression, eyeglasses have become more than just corrective tools. They are accessories that combine vision, style, and personality. At Bn Baijal, we believe your eyeglasses should empower you—enhancing clarity, fitting comfortably, and reflecting your unique style.

In this guide, we’ll walk through everything you need to know before buying eyeglasses: frame shapes, lens options, fitting tips, and care advice. Whether you’re shopping on our site or visiting one of our stores, this will help you make an informed choice.


1. Start with Your Face Shape

Choosing the right frame shape can dramatically enhance your look. Here are common face shapes and frame suggestions:

Face Shape Best Frame Shapes Why It Works
Oval Rectangle, Square, Wayfarer Adds angles to smooth curves
Round Rectangular, Geometric, Angular Adds definition, balances roundness
Square Round, Oval, Cat-eye Softens strong jawlines
Heart-shaped / Inverted Triangle Browline, Cat-eye, Rimless Draws attention upward, balances proportions
Diamond Rimless, Oval, Cat-eye Highlights cheekbones, softens angles

At Bn Baijal, our catalog features many shapes — round, rectangular, cat-eye, hexagonal, and more — so you can find what suits you best. (bnbaijal.com)


2. Materials & Frame Types

Frames are more than just style—they must be durable and lightweight. Here are popular options:

  • Metal (e.g. titanium, stainless steel): Sleek and slim, often hypoallergenic. Our “Sellott Paris – Retro Square Thin Metal Frame” is a great example of a lightweight unisex option. (bnbaijal.com)

  • Acetate / Plastic: Rich colors and patterns, more robust.

  • Mixed materials: Combines aesthetics and strength (e.g. metal temples + acetate front).

  • Rimless / Semi-rimless: Minimalist look; makes the face “open” and less boxed.


3. Lens Options & Coatings

Frames are just half the story. The lenses inside matter for clarity, comfort, and eye health.

  • Single Vision: One prescription (near or far)

  • Bifocal / Progressive / Multifocal: For users needing two or more prescriptions (e.g. near + distance)

  • Zero Power / Plano: For fashion or blue-light blocking lenses

  • Coatings & Treatments:

    • Anti-glare / anti-reflection

    • Blue-light filtering (for those who use screens)

    • Scratch-resistant coatings

    • UV protection

When you select a frame on our site, you can also choose the lens type (single vision, bifocal etc.) and coatings as per your eye power and needs. (bnbaijal.com)


4. Fit & Comfort: The Vital Details

Even a stylish frame won’t work if it doesn’t fit well. Keep these in mind:

  • Bridge width: Should sit comfortably on your nose without slipping

  • Temple (arm) length: Too short or long will cause discomfort

  • Lens width / height: Your pupil should align centrally

  • Weight distribution: A light frame reduces nose pressure

  • Flexible hinges or spring hinges: For better adaptability

When you order from Bn Baijal, make sure to input your pupil distance (PD) and prescription details accurately. Double-check those before finalizing your order.


5. Style Tips: Matching Frames to Your Persona

Your glasses should not only correct vision — they should enhance your style.

  • For a professional look, go for classic rectangular or rimless frames in neutral colors (black, gunmetal, tortoiseshell).

  • For bold or creative styles, try cat-eye, hexagon, translucent or dual-tone frames.

  • Want subtle but stylish? Transparent or pastel frames are trendy and versatile.

  • For everyday kids’ eyewear: lightweight, durable frames (BN Baijal carries a dedicated kids’ glasses section). (bnbaijal.com)


6. Caring for Your Glasses: Maintenance Guide

To make your eyewear last longer:

  • Always use a microfiber cloth (not shirt cuffs)

  • Rinse with lukewarm water and a drop of mild soap

  • Avoid leaving them in hot places (cars, direct sunlight)

  • Use a sturdy case when not in use

  • Visit opticians periodically to tighten screws or realign frames
