Size and Fit guide
Choosing the right eyewear can be a complex process. This guide will help you find your best match.
All eyewear has different functional and aesthetic characteristics, so we use three pieces of information to determine the following:
Size
Face coverage
Bridge and nosepads
What is frame size?
Frame size is defined by lens and bridge width. These values are always displayed in that order, in millimeters. If you wear glasses, you’ve likely noticed some numbers on the temple and wondered what they mean. These numbers indicate the lens and bridge width, which determine the frame size.
MEASURE YOUR FACE WIDTH
If you don't already own a pair of glasses with measurements, you can measure your face using a card.
Step 1
Take a credit card
Get a Credit, Debit or Loyalty card.
Step 2
Stand in front of a mirror
Hold the card steady and align one edge with the center of your nose.
Step 3
Check the card position
The size is determined based on where the opposite edge of the card aligns with your eye.
WHAT IS FACE COVERAGE?
Face coverage is aesthethical information which determines how much of the face is covered by each given size.
PETITE
STANDARD
GENEROUS
As can be seen in the image, there are three different fits available to choose from. These are unrelated to size and instead to lens width.
The three possible fittings are:
• Petite: a small lens front for those who prefer to cover a smaller portion of the face.
• Standard: a medium lens front designed for those who prefer to cover an average portion of the face.
• Generous: a larger lens front designed for those who prefer to cover a greater portion of the face.
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.
