How to Find the Perfect Fit for Your Face
Not sure what size glasses you need?
Understanding frame measurements is the key to finding glasses that fit comfortably and look right. We stock standard, extra large and extra small glasses in-store


What Do Glasses Measurements Mean?
Most frames include three numbers:
-
Eye size (lens width)
-
Bridge width (distance between lenses)
-
Arm length (side length)
Example: 52–18–140 is average
