Cat-Eye Glasses Sizing: My Experience

Cat-eye frames have an upswept outer edge that affects how size measurements translate to actual fit and appearance.

Cat-Eye Sizing Considerations

Upswept corners extend width

Frame appears larger than measurements

Face shape compatibility critical

Vintage sizing often different

My Size Choice

For cat-eye frames, I go slightly smaller - 50-17-140 instead of my usual 52-18-140. The upswept design makes them look larger, so smaller measurements work better.

The Result

Stylish retro look that fits properly. Sizing down compensates for the visual width added by the cat-eye shape.
