Size and Fit guide
Choosing the perfect eyewear can be a complex process. This guide aims to give you a helping hand to find your best match. All eyewear has different functional and aesthetic characteristics. We use three main pieces of information to determine these attributes:
What is frame size?
The size of the frame counts as functional information, which is defined by one principal number:
-
Hinge to hinge distance: the width of the frame measured from the inside of the eyewear from the centre of each hinge.
How do I know the right size for me?You can measure the hinge to hinge distance of a pair of glasses you already own with a ruler.
This information defines the following sizes:
| Hinge to hinge (in) | Hinge to hinge (mm) | Size |
|---|---|---|
| <121< /th> | <121< /td> | XXS |
| 121-124 | 121-124 | XS |
| 125-128 | 125-128 | S |
| 129-132 | 129-132 | M |
| 133-136 | 13-136 | L |
| 137-140 | 137-140 | XL |
| >140 | >140 | XXL |
Other measurements
If you already own a pair of glasses, you will see some numbers engraved on the inside of the eyewear temple, EG:
The first one is the Model name, then the Lens width and Bridge width. There is usually a third number which represents the Temple Length, which is the measurement in millimeters of the 'arms' of the frame. Sometimes there is also a fourth number which is the Lens Height.
Each of these numbers is measured in mm.
What’s the fit?
Fitting is aesthetical information which determines the amount of face coverage for a given size.
What are the bridge and nosepads?
This functional information describes the different types of the bridge and the nosepads. The four possible bridge and nosepads options are:
-
High bridge fit: offers a more secure and comfortable fit for those with a high nose bridge and lower cheekbones. A good choice if the bridge of your nose is above the level of your pupils.
-
Low bridge fit: offers a more secure and comfortable fit for those with a low nose bridge and higher cheekbones. A good choice if eyewear tends to slide down your nose, sit too low, or press on your temples or cheeks.
-
Universal fit: this option accommodates most face shapes.
-
Adjustable nosepads: nosepads that can be widened or narrowed to fit your unique nose shape.
