How do I make sure the frame size is right for me?

Choosing the right frame size is essential for both comfort and appearance. Here’s how to ensure your frames fit perfectly:

  1. Check Your Current Glasses: If you already wear glasses that fit well, check the frame size printed on the inside of the temple arm (e.g., 52-18-140). This number represents the lens width, bridge width, and temple length in millimeters. Use this as a reference when selecting your new frames.
  2. Understand Frame Measurements:
    • Lens Width: This is the horizontal width of each lens, usually between 48-54mm. Choose a lens width that complements your face size—smaller for narrower faces, larger for broader faces.
    • Bridge Width: The distance between the lenses, typically 16-22mm. Ensure the bridge width is comfortable on your nose without pinching or slipping.
    • Temple Length: The length of the arms, usually 135-145mm. Make sure the temples rest comfortably over your ears without being too short or too long.
  3. Consider Your Face Shape and Size:
    • Face Shape: Different frame shapes complement different face shapes (e.g., round frames for square faces, angular frames for round faces). Choose a frame shape that balances your facial features.
    • Face Size: If you have a small face, opt for narrower frames, and for larger faces, choose wider frames to maintain proportion.
  4. Try the Virtual Try-On Tool (if available): Some websites offer virtual try-on tools where you can upload a photo and see how different frames look on your face. This can be a great way to visualize the fit before purchasing.
  5. Consult the Frame Size Guide: Many websites provide a frame size guide that includes measurements and recommendations based on face shape and size. Use this guide to find the best fit.

Finding the perfect frame size ensures that your glasses not only look great but also feel comfortable throughout the day. If you need further assistance, we’re here to help!
