Frame Selection Guide
Find the Perfect Eyewear with Damith Atukorale Opticians
Your eyeglass frame does more than just hold your lenses – it says something about your personality, lifestyle, and style. At Damith Atukorale Opticians, our friendly and professional team is dedicated to helping you select frames that suit your vision needs, complement your look, and fit within your budget.
Choosing the right eyewear can save you time, effort, and frustration. Here’s our expert guide to finding the perfect frame for your face shape, colour, and lifestyle.
The Three Golden Rules of Frame Selection
- Highlight Your Best Feature – Frames should emphasize what you love most (e.g., blue frames to enhance blue eyes).
- Balance Your Face Shape – A frame should contrast with your natural face shape for harmony.
- Proportion is Key – The frame size should match your face size – not too big, not too small.
1. Oval (The Ideal Shape)
Balanced proportions
Best frames: Walnut-shaped, slightly wider than the face, not too deep or narrow.
2. Round
Full cheeks, equal width & length
Best frames: Rectangular, angular, or narrow styles to lengthen the face.
Avoid: Round frames that add more fullness.
3. Square
Strong jawline, broad forehead, equal width & length
Best frames: Narrow ovals or frames wider than they are deep, softening angles.
4. Oblong
Longer than wide, straight cheek line, long nose
Best frames: Deep frames, low bridges, decorative temples to add width.
5. Diamond
Narrow forehead & jawline, dramatic cheekbones
Best frames: Rimless, oval, or cat-eye styles to highlight the eyes.
6. Base-Down Triangle
Narrow forehead, wider cheeks & chin
Best frames: Cat-eye or frames with detailing/colour on the top half.
7. Base-Up Triangle
Wide forehead, narrow chin
Best frames: Light colors, rimless or semi-rimless to soften top width.
Face Shapes & Frame Styles
Color Analysis – Choosing the Right Frame Color
The Vision Council recommends considering skin, eye, and hair tones when selecting frame colours:
Cool Tones (blue or pink undertones, olive skin, platinum/blonde/black hair) – Best with black, silver, plum, jade, magenta, rose-brown, blue-gray, and cool tortoise shades.
Warm Tones (peachy or yellow undertones, golden/blonde/brown hair) – Best with fire-engine red, warm blue, golden tortoise, or brown-gold hues.
Eye colour also plays a role – for example, blue eyes may shine with cool-colored frames, while warm brown eyes pair well with earthy tones.

👓 Computer Glasses – Protect Your Eyes in the Digital Age
What Do Computer Glasses Do?
In today’s digital world, most of us spend hours in front of computers, tablets, and smartphones. While these devices are essential, they often leave our eyes feeling tired, irritated, or dry.
This is known as Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) – a temporary condition caused by prolonged screen time without proper eye protection.
Common symptoms include:
Blurred vision
Eye irritation or redness
Dry eyes
Neck and back strain
Headaches or dizziness
The solution? Computer glasses are specially designed to protect your eyes during digital device use.
What Are Computer Glasses?
Unlike regular prescription glasses, computer glasses are engineered to reduce eye strain caused by screens.
They often include:
Anti-reflective coating – Reduces glare from screens and overhead lights.
Tinted lenses – Enhance contrast and reduce harsh brightness.
The average person spends 8+ hours daily in front of screens. With computer glasses, you can work longer with less strain and more comfort.
Types of Lenses for Computer Glasses
Since most screens sit in the intermediate zone (20–26 inches) from the eyes, special lens options are available:
Single Vision Computer Glasses
Wide intermediate zone
Reduce eye strain & blurred vision
Suitable for any age group
Occupational Progressive Lenses
Correct near, intermediate, and distance vision
Best for computer use but not ideal for long-distance tasks
Occupational Bifocal / Trifocal Lenses
Larger intermediate and near zones than regular bifocals
Can be customised for individual workstations
Benefits of Wearing Computer Glasses
✅ Reduced glare and eye strain
✅ Better posture (no leaning forward to see clearly)
✅ Improved contrast on screens
✅ Fewer headaches from long screen sessions
Even if you already wear prescription glasses or contacts, you may still need a special computer prescription for maximum comfort.
Additional Tips to Prevent Computer Vision Syndrome
Monitor Position – Place the screen 20–28 inches away, slightly below eye level.
Lighting – Minimise glare by adjusting room lighting or adding an anti-glare screen.
Blink & Rest – Follow the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
Breaks – Take a 15-minute rest after every 2 hours of screen time.
Posture – Sit upright with good ergonomics to reduce neck/back strain.
Final Thoughts
Computer glasses are no longer a luxury – they’re a necessity in our digital lifestyles. With the right pair, you can enjoy clearer vision, greater comfort, and protection from long-term eye strain.
👉 At Damith Atukorale Opticians, we offer a wide range of computer-friendly lenses with options such as anti-glare, blue-light protection, and advanced occupational lenses.

👓 Children Eyewear
Children’s Eye Health & Eye Wear
Children’s eyes are precious, and protecting their vision from an early age is one of the greatest investments for their future. Unlike adults, children’s visual systems are still developing, which means undetected eye problems can affect not only their sight but also learning, behavior, and confidence.
👶 Early Eye Checkups with Us
Every baby has an initial check-up at birth and again at six weeks by a GP.
Sadly, in Sri Lanka, most schools lack mandatory vision screening, leaving many children with undiagnosed refractive errors.
Our specialized pediatric eye tests are designed to spot issues early—when they are easiest to treat.
We guide parents through each step, making children feel safe and comfortable.
Early detection allows timely intervention—most vision conditions in children are treatable if identified early.
📌 Tip for Parents:
Have your child’s eyes tested at least once every year, especially if they complain of headaches, squinting, or difficulty seeing the board in school.
👦👧 The Importance of Child Eyewear
Children spend a lot of time studying, playing outdoors, and using digital devices. Proper eyewear is vital for:
Clear vision → Better focus in class and improved academic performance.
Eye protection → Guarding against harmful UV rays and digital eye strain.
Confidence & comfort → Well-fitted, stylish eyewear makes kids feel good about wearing glasses.
We always give priority to kids by:
Using high-quality lenses with durability and safety in mind.
Offering special baby and children’s frames designed for comfort, flexibility, and toughness.
Providing scratch-resistant, UV-protected, and anti-glare coatings for better eye safety.
Helping parents and children choose the right eyewear based on age, activity, and lifestyle.
🕶️ Types of Lenses for Children
At Damith Atukorale Opticians, we carefully recommend the best lens for your child’s lifestyle:
Single Vision Lenses → For correcting nearsightedness or farsightedness.
Polycarbonate / Trivex Lenses → Strong, impact-resistant, and lightweight—perfect for active kids.
