Q2.Which face shapes look best in butterfly frames?

Butterfly frames look great on round, oval, and heart-shaped faces. The wide, upswept shape adds lift and definition. For square faces, go for a softer flare for a balanced look.

Yes. All butterfly frames at Optica Kenya can be fitted with your prescription in-store. No prescription yet? Book an eye test at any branch — your glasses are ready the same day.

Q4: Are butterfly frames only for women? 

These frames are designed primarily for women and are a popular choice for those seeking a bold, expressive look. Optica Kenya stocks a dedicated women's range in a variety of colours and finishes.

Q5: What are butterfly frames made from? 

Butterfly frames at Optica Kenya come in acetate, mixed acetate-metal, and full metal. Acetate frames are lightweight with more colour options. Metal frames are slimmer and great for a clean, everyday look.

Q6: What is the difference between butterfly and cat-eye frames? 

Both styles have an upswept edge, but butterfly frames are wider and bolder. Cat-eye frames are narrower with a subtler lift. Choose these frames for a stronger, more dramatic look.
