How do I choose the right size frame for my face?
We include the size measurements on the product details pages for each frame. If you have current eyeglasses, you can most likely see these measurements written on the inside of the temple of your current glasses or on the back of the bridge.
The measurement is generally written like this: 50-15-135. The first measurement is the eye size (width of the lenses), the second is the bridge size (distance between the lenses), and the third is the temple size.
