As we know, sunglasses and glasses for vision correction are indispensable accessories that are commonly worn by people around the world. Let's see why it is so vital to put some eyewear on. What concerns sunglasses, we should note that they protect the eyes from harmful ultraviolet radiation which can damage the retina, and the excess of which can cause soreness in the eye area, blurred vision, and even temporary blindness. Optical frames, or as they are also called prescription glasses, help to correct your sight, because it goes without saying that sharp vision improves the quality of life and, in general, is a vital factor. In addition to the functional qualities of spectacles, the aesthetic component is no less important, which plays an equally important role.

Thankfully, the niche of eyewear manufacturing never fails to amaze and always manages to come up with diverse and unique frames. These days, there are many varieties of both sunglasses and optical frames which are classified according to materials used in the process of crafting, color combinations, frame types, light transmittance, and sizes. What concerns shapes, you can choose from a wide array of spectacles, including nice-looking Wayfarers, retro-inspired Cat-Eyes, universal Round frames, elegant Square glasses, playful Butterflies, unique Geometrics, and many other outstanding types of specs. As we pointed out, the technology does not stand still, and every year we receive even bigger assortments of improved and more convenient models on the market. 

Frame Size

Thus, glass lenses can be easily replaced by plastic ones, and they are lightweight, durable, and safer. Regardless of the functions performed, glasses consist of lenses and frames in a huge variety of different modifications. Of course, it is up to you which type of spectacles are best and what features are essential for your particular case but it's wonderful that you have a choice, right? Besides, for the glasses to fit you perfectly, it is necessary to consider not only the shape and color that suits you. The selection of the right frame size is the key to comfort and satisfaction. After all, if you make a mistake with the size, the accessory will either fall off with every movement or squeeze and cause discomfort when worn. Moreover, if the glasses cause intense rubbing, your skin can get scratches or, worse, wounds.

So, how to determine the perfect size of the eyeglasses or sunglasses? Sure, if you go to the local optical store and buy a pair of specs from there, then you can always try them on in real life and understand if they fit you ideally or if something is wrong. Despite that, many customers still prefer shopping online because it saves a lot of time that can be spent on other, more important, things. And how good the selection of designer eyewear in online stores is! Besides, the prices in virtual shops are usually more attractive. In the case with online stores, you can easily pick up cool sunglasses or elegant eyeglasses by determining your size using the parameters indicated by the manufacturers and some useful tips written below on the right selection of the frame size.

Frame Size Guide
The frame size can be found on the inside of the temple arm. It consists of three numbers, is indicated in millimeters, and looks like:

52 - 18 - 135

52 — lens width (eye width)

18 — nose bridge width

135 — temple length

    When determining a suitable frame option, the following parameters must be considered:
  1. The frame width should not be wider than the width of your face in the temporal region.
  2. The temple arm length is usually one of three standards - 135, 140, or 145m
  3. The bridge width is the width of the element that goes across the bridge of your nose. Typical widths are 12-26 millimeters. It is important that the glasses fit comfortably on the bridge of the nose - not too tight, and not too loose.
  4. Lens width is measured from the outermost edges of lenses horizontally and can vary from 40 mm (Small) to 62 mm (Large or Oversized).

As for the width of the frame, it is measured from the outside of the frame and is usually between 120 and 150 mm. The frame width is not specified on the temple arm, so when you have to figure out which size is perfect for you, it is necessary to use the parameters of the previous frame or by measuring your face yourself. For instance, a tape measure can come in handy. Keep in mind that the width of the face is measured from temple to temple at eye level. Do not neglect this rule because only this way it is possible to get the most accurate results and receive the ideally fitting pair of eyeglasses or sunglasses. It should be remembered that the temple arm also has a width, and therefore it is necessary to measure with a small margin. Once you follow all the main rules, you can write your results down and start choosing the right frames.

Besides, you can choose Oversized eyewear - of course, it should also be measured to meet your particular parameters but the main difference between these glasses and fitted ones is that oversized frames look larger than expected. Simply put, they are often used as an accessory to make a fashion statement. Have you ever seen baggy clothes? Of course, you have. It has become a trend to wear such outfits because they are super stylish and ultra-comfortable. Same with spectacles - oversized eyeglasses and sunglasses are a must-have accessory in every fashionista's wardrobe.
