Small eyes? No problem.

If you happen to have eyesight problems such as farsightedness, nearsightedness, or astigmatism, you’ll probably need to wear prescription eyeglasses to correct your eyesight. But choosing the right pair of eyeglasses will not only correct your vision, but also increase your style and look. That said, if you have small eyes, how do you choose glasses? If you do not know, a JCPenney Optical expert can help you and walk you through all the great options they have. But here is a quick guide…. to choose prescription eyeglasses for smaller eyes, you need to check how far away your eyes are from the lenses. The lens should not be pressed up against your eyes because this would affect your eyes appearing off or unusual when wearing frames.

Your eyes will probably look much better if they are centered as much as possible in each lens. This can make your eyes appear a bit larger, especially if you are nearsighted, by making your eyes more of the focal point of your face. Luckily, JCPenney Optical has frames for all shapes and sizes of eyes and faces. And we offer the widest selection of frames and lenses to match any style.
