How to Determine Frame Sizes? How to Choose my Frame Size?

Frame sizes refer to the dimensions of eyeglass frames, and understanding these sizes helps ensure a proper fit and optimal comfort. Here’s a breakdown of the key measurements and what they mean:

1. Lens Width
  • Definition: The horizontal width of one lens, measured in millimeters.
  • Importance: Ensures the lenses are large enough to provide adequate vision coverage while maintaining aesthetic balance.
  • Typical Range: Usually between 40mm and 60mm.

2. Bridge Width

  • Definition: The distance between the lenses, measured in millimeters. It refers to the width of the part of the frame that rests on your nose.
  • Importance: Affects the fit and comfort of the glasses. A bridge width that is too narrow or too wide can cause discomfort or improper alignment.
  • Typical Range: Usually between 14mm and 24mm.

3. Temple Length

  • Definition: The length of the arms of the glasses, from the hinge to the end that rests behind the ears, measured in millimeters.
  • Importance: Ensures the glasses sit comfortably on your ears without slipping or causing pressure.
  • Typical Range: Usually between 120mm and 150mm.

4. Frame Width

  • Definition: The total width of the frame when measured from one side to the other, including the hinges.
  • Importance: Ensures that the frames fit your face width properly, maintaining the correct position of the lenses in front of your eyes.
  • Typical Range: Varies widely depending on frame style and design.

How To Choose The Right Frame Size?

  1. Measure Your Face: Use a ruler or a measuring tape to get the width of your face and the distance between your eyes. Compare these measurements with the frame sizes provided by the eyewear manufacturer.
  2. Try On Different Sizes: If possible, try on frames in different sizes to see which one fits best. Pay attention to how the frames feel on your nose and ears, and ensure they align properly with your eyes.
  3. Check Existing Glasses: You can use the measurements from a pair of glasses that currently fit you well as a guide for selecting new frames.
  4. Consult an Optician: If you’re unsure about your measurements or which frame size to choose, an optician can provide professional guidance and help you find the perfect fit.
  5. Use our Virtual Try-On App: You can use our Virtual Try-On App to determine what frame size fits your face by fixing the PD number that you have either from your prescription or by measuring it yourself.

Choosing the right frame size is essential for comfort, functionality, and overall appearance. Properly fitting frames will enhance your vision and ensure that your glasses stay in place throughout the day.
