Eyewear Frame Sizes: My Complete Guide

Understanding eyewear frame sizes transformed how I shop for glasses. What once seemed confusing now makes perfect sense.

The Universal Sizing System

All eyewear uses the same three-number system:

First number - Lens width (48-60mm typically)

Second number - Bridge width (14-24mm typically)

Third number - Temple length (135-150mm typically)

How I Determine My Size

I measure my face width and use this formula:

My face width: 140mm

Ideal frame width: 135-140mm

Lens width: About 52-54mm

Bridge: 18mm

Temples: 140mm

Size Categories

Most eyewear falls into these ranges:

Small/Narrow: Total width under 130mm

Medium/Average: 130-140mm

Large/Wide: Over 140mm

My Shopping Strategy

Know my measurements

Check frame dimensions before buying

Read reviews about fit

Stick to my size range

Understanding eyewear sizing made shopping efficient and ensured every pair I buy fits properly.
