Add to Your Holiday Look: Why the Right Eyewear Matters This Season

Make your look festive by adding a pop of color

The holiday season is filled with moments—reunions, dinners, office parties, church services, and family photos. It’s the time of year when people want to look good, feel good, and show up at their best.

Eyewear might not be the first thing that comes to mind when planning a holiday outfit, but it makes more impact than most people realize.

Whether you’re going for subtle sophistication or playful sparkle, the right pair of glasses can elevate your entire look—and with the right lens upgrades, they’re as functional as they are fashionable.

1. Eyewear Frames the Face

Your glasses are the first thing people notice in face-to-face conversations. They sit front and center, right where people look when they talk to you.

That’s why a frame that flatters your features or matches your personal style can instantly enhance your appearance.

Tips for Patients:

• Pick a shape that balances your face (e.g. round frames for square faces)

• Use color to your advantage—black for contrast, gold for warmth, clear for a minimalist vibe

• Choose a style that fits your outfit plans—sleek for formal events, bold for casual gatherings

2. Glasses Can Be a Style Statement

Eyewear can do more than blend in—it can stand out. If you normally wear understated glasses, the holidays are a great time to switch it up.

Ideas to try:

• A second pair with a festive twist (think a sparkly frame, rose gold, or tortoiseshell)

• A bold, oversized frame to add flair to simpler outfits

• Retro-inspired styles for that “classic holiday” look in photos

Encourage patients to see glasses the same way they view accessories—something that can change the mood or theme of a look.

3. Coatings Make a Difference in Holiday Settings

Most holiday activities involve:

• Indoor lighting

• Phone cameras

• Long drives

• Screen time (messaging, movies, or shopping)

Lens coatings that improve comfort and appearance make a real difference.

Recommended for the season:

• Rising Sun HMC: for clearer eyes in family photos and less glare from party lights

• Blue Shield: to protect eyes from extended screen use and digital fatigue

• Photochromic: for patients doing errands or attending daytime events in bright sunlight

These coatings aren’t just about vision—they also help patients feel better through long days and nights.

4. It’s a Confidence Booster

When people feel like they look good, they show up differently. They smile more in photos. They engage more at events. They make memories without worrying about hiding behind their lenses.

A new pair of glasses in December isn’t just a gift—it’s a reset. It helps patients start the new year feeling fresh and confident.

Tip for Clinics:Encourage patients to view a new frame or lens upgrade as part of their self-care heading into the holidays. Style and comfort don’t have to be separate.
