Quick answer
What to try first
Glasses do not have to leave every eyebrow fully visible, but the upper rim should usually relate naturally to your brow line instead of cutting across it awkwardly.

Glasses do not have to leave every eyebrow fully visible, but the upper rim should usually relate naturally to your brow line instead of cutting across it awkwardly.
Check proportion
If the frame hides the brows completely and also sits low on the cheeks, it may simply be too large or positioned poorly. Fit and bridge height matter.
Validate on your photo
Use a straight-on photo and compare two frame heights. Pick the one whose upper rim works with your brow rather than judging eyebrow visibility alone.
Why
Why this direction can work
Brow alignment affects how centered and intentional the frame looks, but it is not a strict fitting rule for every design.

What can make it look wrong

Do not decide from the label alone

What is the fastest way to validate the choice?
Use a straight-on photo and compare two frame heights. Pick the one whose upper rim works with your brow rather than judging eyebrow visibility alone.
What can virtual try-on not confirm?
A visual preview cannot confirm physical comfort, exact bridge pressure, optical measurements, or prescription suitability. Confirm those with the seller or an optical professional.
