to pale blue-gray. Most blue eyes are considered
cool, but the closer they are to gray, the warmer
they get. Another option is to go with a peach or
orange color which will make your eye color pop.

are to black. Most brown eyes are considered warm,
but extremely dark browns often qualify as cool
toned.

your eyes are blue-green or yellow-green.

yellow-green shades are warm

dark tortoise colored frame.
BRIDGE SELECTION
 Selecting the proper bridge size and shape for
any given patient is a crucial part of frame
selection both from cosmetic and purely
practical perspective.
 Since a high bridge such as keyhole style,
tends to accentuate nose length, it should be
avoided with longer nose and recommended
with shorter nose.
 The opposite holds true with lower bridge
designs such as saddle bridge.
KEYHOLE BRIDGE
BRIDGE SELECTION
 Patients with especially narrow bridges are
generally successful with adjustable nose pads.
 Saddle bridges and comfort bridge for metal
frame are difficult to adjust.
 Therefore care must be taken to ensure thee fit
is suitable, right from the beginning, during the
initial frame selection.
