What do the numbers printed on my frame mean?
The numbers printed on the inside of your eyeglass frame refer to the dimensions of the frame, which help you understand its size and fit. These numbers typically represent the lens width, bridge width, and temple length, measured in millimeters (mm). Here’s a breakdown of what each number means:
- Lens Width (e.g., 52mm):
- This is the horizontal width of each lens, measured in millimeters. It indicates how wide the lenses are from side to side. Larger numbers mean wider lenses.
- Bridge Width (e.g., 18mm):
- The bridge width is the distance between the two lenses, measured across the part of the frame that sits on your nose. It determines how much space there is between the lenses and how the frame fits on your nose.
- Temple Length (e.g., 140mm):
- The temple length refers to the length of the arms (or temples) of the frame, measured from the hinge to the end of the arm. It affects how the glasses fit over your ears.
For example, if your frame is labeled "52-18-140," it means:
- Lens Width: 52mm
- Bridge Width: 18mm
- Temple Length: 140mm
These measurements can help you find frames that fit similarly to your current glasses or guide you in selecting new frames that suit your face shape and size.
