You know that finding the right size of eyeglasses can be hard. Stop huffing and puffing, we have your introduction to frame sizes right here!
From wayfarers to aviators, vintage designs to athletic, modern constructions, eyeglasses come in all shapes and sizes.Each pair of eyeglasses is as unique as each face that will wear them. Chances are, if you have been shopping for eyeglasses online, you’ve found designs which you like, but are wondering whether they will fit. Every design boasts frame sizes that are significantly different from each other. What is trick to finding the right pair? How do you know what size to wear?
Before eagerly rushing into your purchase of Gucci eyeglasses online, you need some very basic information: eye size, bridge, and temples measurements. When you pick up a pair of prescription glasses, these measurements are normally engraved in very small writing on the respective parts of the frame. When you’re shopping online, these measurements should be available with the product description. Global Eyeglasses shows a chart on the right-hand side of the screen for every frame we carry.
Why should you care about the frame size? Masking tape DIY fashion, popularized by the world-famous boy-wizard Harry Potter, may be in fashion with teeny-bopper Muggles, but it’s a trend you should absolutely steer clear of. A proper frame size will ensure that your eyeglasses fit you perfectly.
The eye size is the biggest factor in visual appeal. When a pair of glasses looks great on you, it’s mostly due to the size of the lenses relative to your face. Frames are individually built to accommodate different lenses, from small and round, to large and rectangular.
The bridge size measures, unsurprisingly, the bridge of the frame, which rests on your nose. Some designs choose to modify the curve or bend of the bridge, which makes it important to know that the bridge will fit your nose comfortably. A bridge that is too wide will cause your glasses to rock back and forth on your face. A bridge that is too narrow will make you feel like you have horrible sinuses.
Finally, the temple size determines how the arms of the frames rest on either side of your head. One of the most commonly over-looked factors of eyeglass design, the temple size is important to keep the glasses on your head. You want the glasses to fit snugly over your ears without slipping off or pinching your head.
Obviously, the frame sizesare very important to know when you purchase your eyeglasses. Buying a pair just because they look good will give you many grievances in the long-run if they don’t fit you properly. If you need to, go to an eyewear specialist and have them take your measurements before embarking on a frame-shopping adventure. Your pretty peepers will thank you for it.
