Frame Advice FAQs
How do I choose the right glasses frames?
The right frames depend on your face shape, skin tone, lifestyle, and prescription strength. At Mi Optica, our opticians guide you through the selection process personally, taking all of these factors into account to ensure your frames look great, fit well, and work optimally with your lenses.
Can any frame support a high prescription?
Not every frame is suitable for every prescription. High-index lenses required for strong prescriptions are best paired with frames that have a smaller lens area, as this keeps the lens edge thin and the glasses lightweight. Our opticians at Mi Optica are expert at matching the right frame style to your prescription requirements without sacrificing aesthetics.
Does Mi Optica carry designer frames?
Yes — Mi Optica stocks a wide selection of designer and fashion eyewear brands, updated four times per year. We also carry our own house-brand frames, offering excellent quality at accessible price points. Browse our Products page or visit us in St. Maria, Curaçao to see the full collection.
How do I know which frame shape suits my face?
As a general guideline, frames with angular or rectangular shapes complement round faces, while oval faces suit most frame shapes. Round frames soften angular features, while square faces often look great in oval or round styles. Our opticians at Mi Optica are happy to provide personalized recommendations in person — visit our store or call +5999-888 5858 to arrange a fitting.
How often should I update my frames?
Frames typically last 1–3 years before hinges, nose pads, or coatings begin to wear. We recommend bringing your glasses in for a free annual inspection at Mi Optica — and if your prescription has changed, new frames may be warranted. Our Royale Points Program also makes upgrading your eyewear more rewarding with each purchase.
Can I try frames on before purchasing?
Absolutely — our opticians at Mi Optica encourage you to try on multiple styles during your visit. We can also use our Rodenstock ImpressionIST®4 to take a 3D measurement of your face with frames on, ensuring your new glasses will fit perfectly and your lenses will be positioned exactly right.
