To choose the right eyeglass frame size, measure the temple-to-temple width. Glasses are sized as narrow (under 129mm), medium (130mm-139mm), and wide (over 139mm). Common lens widths range from 50mm-55mm for narrow, 51mm-55mm for medium, and 56mm and above for wide frames.
To find your perfect size, measure the distance between your pupils; this is called the pupillary distance, or PD. Additionally, look for signs of improper fit, such as the frames sliding down your nose or resting too close to your eyes. It’s also vital to consider the width of the frame. A well-fitted frame should not extend beyond your temples.
Next, keep in mind that the size and weight of lenses also impact frame size. Heavier lenses may require sturdier frames. Seek guidance from an eye care professional to ensure your selection fits your face shape, size and lifestyle. Understanding these elements will help you find eyeglass frames that enhance your vision and comfort.
