Frame Fit
Your Frame, Your Fit
Your Frame, Your Fit
Two things tell you whether a frame will work on your face: the measurements and your face shape. Both take three minutes to understand — and change how you shop for glasses forever.
The Perfect Measurement
Every pair of glasses has three numbers printed on the inside of the temple arm. These numbers are the most reliable guide to fit.
Understanding frame measurements
Every pair of glasses has three numbers printed on the inside of the temple arm. These numbers are the most reliable guide to fit — more reliable than face shape alone.
Lens Width
The width of one lens from inner to outer edge. This is the most important measurement for fit. Your frame width should roughly match your face at its widest point.
Bridge Width
The gap between the lenses at the nose. A bridge that's too wide will cause the frames to slide down. Match your current bridge measurement for the best fit.
Temple Length
The length of the arm from hinge to tip. Most adults wear 140–145mm. This affects comfort around the ears — too short and they'll pinch.

Find Your Face Shape
Face shape is a useful shorthand — not a rule. Think of it as a starting point for narrowing down styles.
Finding your face shape
Oval
Longer than wide, with a forehead slightly broader than the jaw. The most balanced face shape.
Almost everything works. Keep frame width in line with your cheekbones.
