Optricks refers to the ability of a well-trained optician to match faces and frames to complement and accentuate a person’s best features. To arrive at an aesthetically pleasing and comfortable frame, we follow certain guidelines. Explore the section below that illustrates some of these guidelines.
Each St. Charles Vision Doctor and Optician is a trained expert in the Optricks Method. Visit one of our offices for a comprehensive frame fitting customized just for you.
When it comes to choosing the right frames, a simple rule is never to choose frames that match the shape of your face. Let our trained staff help you find the frame that best contrasts the shape of your face to soften the features and provide balance.
