Northeastern
Eye Institute

Northeastern Eyewear offers a large selection of frames. We have both high-end frames and more affordable options, ensuring we have a style that will be the right fit for your unique needs. Some of our eyewear options include:

• Revamped classic styles
• Avant-garde designs
• Designer logos
• Luxurious details and embellishments to give your glasses a unique look

The right style of frame for you will depend on the shape of your face. We always encourage you to choose a frame that complements the shape of your face and your other facial features:

• Round face — Wider, more angular frames tend to look best and will help elongate your facial appearance.
• Oval face — You’ll want to choose a set of frames that won’t dominate the rest of your facial features. Look for a style that is slightly wider than the broadest part of your face.
• Square face — Wide set, rounded frames will help elongate your facial appearance and minimize strong angles.
• Oblong face — Rounded frames or frames with emphasized horizontal lines will help widen and shorten the appearance of an oblong-shaped face.
• Heart-shaped face — Frames with a wide base will help add width below the eye line and balance your forehead and chin regions.
• Triangular face — Frames that are broader on top and narrower along the base will help widen the appearance of your forehead and soften angular lines along your face.
• Diamond face — Just about any style of frame will work with a diamond-shaped face. It’s best to choose a style that is slightly wider than the broadest region of your face.

At Northeastern Eye Institute, we offer both high index and polycarbonate lenses which can accommodate a high prescription without adding thickness to your lenses. One of our opticians can help you select the lens option that is best for you.

We offer athletic frames designed to stay on, fit comfortably, and remain durable during rigorous activity. Polycarbonate lenses are most often recommended for sports as they are light and strong, as well as scratch- and shatter-resistant.

Progressive and Transitions® lenses can provide you with the single pair of multipurpose glasses you are looking for. Progressive lenses provide smooth continuous vision correction from reading to distance, and a Transitions tint will darken and lighten lenses depending on lighting conditions.

The sun’s UV rays can damage your eyes in any light conditions, even on a cloudy day. Wearing sunglasses will provide your eyes with important protection from these harmful UV rays.

The sun is strongest between 10 am and 2 pm. While this is the peak time for UV ray damage, your eyes can still be impacted by UV rays any time you’re outside while the sun is out. Glare and reflections can also damage your eyes, so you should wear sunglasses anytime you’re out in the snow or near a body of water.

Yes. Cataracts, retinal dystrophies and macular degeneration can all make UV ray damage worse. Be even more careful if you have any of these conditions and always wear a good pair of sunglasses.

Your sunglasses should provide protection for your eyes and match your style. Look for sunglasses that provide 99-100% protection from UVA and UVB rays.

Whether you need high performance polarized lenses, comprehensive UV protection, or the latest fashions, we have a wide selection for you to choose from. With the help of a Northeastern Eye Institute optician, you are sure to find the sunglasses that fit your lifestyle and unique fashion sense.
