Start with fit (face size and bridge width), pick a material you’ll wear comfortably (acetate for lightness or metal for a slim profile), and decide on lens needs (prescription, UV protection, or blue-light filtering).

Check frame width and bridge size for a secure fit, material and weight for comfort, and lens options (prescription compatibility, coatings, and any tint or color options).

Consider weight, nose-pad comfort, hinge quality, and coatings (anti-scratch, anti-reflective) or blue-light filtering if you’ll be on screens a lot.

Prioritize lightweight frames with adjustable nose pads and lenses with blue-light protection and anti-reflective coating to reduce glare and eye strain.
