Frames
Discover glasses frames that suit your style, prescription and budget. At Clare & Howard, we offer a wide and varied range of spectacle frames for adults and children, with expert advice to help you find glasses that feel comfortable, look great and work properly for your vision.


Find the right frame for your face, style and vision
Choosing new glasses should feel personal. Your frames need to suit your face shape, match your style, feel comfortable throughout the day and work well with your prescription.
At Clare & Howard, we stock a wide range of glasses frames for all ages and budgets. Our collection includes everyday styles, designer eyewear, children’s frames and sunglasses, giving you plenty of choice whether you want something classic, modern, lightweight, bold or understated.
Fashion and eyewear trends are always changing, so we continually refresh our frame collection with new styles from different suppliers. If you have seen a particular frame in a magazine, online or worn by a celebrity, we will be happy to see whether we can source it for you.
Frame styling
Choosing frames is about more than simply picking a style you like. The right frame should complement your face, support your lenses and feel comfortable when worn every day.
Our team will guide you through the options available and help you choose frames that suit your face shape, colouring, prescription and lifestyle. We can advise on frame size, bridge fit, material, colour and shape so your finished glasses look good and feel right.
Whether you prefer subtle, lightweight frames or something more distinctive, we will help you narrow down the choices and find eyewear that feels like you.
On arrival
When you visit us to choose new frames, we will discuss what you are looking for and check your prescription requirements.
If you already have a prescription, please bring it with you. This can be a prescription from Clare & Howard or one issued by another optician. If you already wear glasses, bringing your current pair can also help us understand what has worked well for you and what you may want to change.
We will then help you browse the frame range and advise on the most suitable options for your lenses, comfort and day-to-day use.

Choosing glasses for children is especially important because the frames need to be comfortable, durable and suitable for regular wear. Our team can help children and parents choose frames that fit properly, feel secure and suit the child’s prescription.
We will take the time to make sure the frames sit correctly and are adjusted for comfort, helping children feel confident wearing their glasses every day.

Sunglasses
We also stock a large and varied selection of sunglasses, including Ray-Ban, one of our most popular sunglass brands.
Sunglasses are not only a style choice. They also help protect your eyes from bright sunlight and harmful UVA and UVB rays. We can advise on sunglass options that suit your style, comfort and visual needs, including prescription sunglasses where appropriate.
Whether you need sunglasses for driving, holidays, everyday wear or outdoor activities, our team can help you choose a pair that looks good and supports your eye comfort.
