To find the right size glasses, you need to consider the frame size that fits your face. The ideal frame size depends on the width of your face at the temples. Here are some tips to help you choose the right fit:
- Proper bridge design and position are very important for a well-fitting pair of glasses.
- The width of your frames should not be wider than the width of your face at the temples.
- The top of your frames should be no higher than the line of your eyebrows.
- Look for a series of three numbers on the inside of the glasses’ temples. They will look similar to this: 1. Lens width, 2. Bridge width, and 3. Temple length.
- Measure the glasses from endpoint to endpoint (or from the right front tip to the left front tip) with a millimeter ruler to get the right frame measurement.
- If you don’t already own a pair of well-fitting frames, you can use a soft measuring tape with millimeter measurements to find the dimensions across your face.
- If you already wear glasses, you can find the measurements on the inside of the temple of your glasses.
Most online retailers should have these measurements available on their website. You can easily find them on the Vision Express website as well. Remember to make sure whoever you’re shopping from has a return policy so that you can return glasses that don’t feel right.
