Frame Size Guide

The right size frame is comfortable all day and looks proportional to your face. Here's how to find yours.

What the Numbers on a Frame Mean

LensBridgeTotal Width

Lens width — width of one lens (e.g. 52 mm)

Bridge — gap between lenses over your nose (e.g. 18 mm)

Total width — lens + bridge + lens (the key measurement)

Temple — arm length from hinge to tip (e.g. 140 mm)

How to Measure Your Face

1

Get a ruler or tape measure

You need something that measures in millimetres.

2

Measure face width

Place the ruler across your face from temple to temple (the widest point). That number is your face width.

3

Check the frame's total width

Add the lens width + bridge + lens width again. e.g. 52 + 18 + 52 = 122 mm total.

4

Match within ±5 mm

The frame total width should be within 5 mm of your face width for a comfortable fit.
