Eyeglass Frame Size Chart Women's: My Simple Guide

Understanding an eyeglass frame size chart women's version confused me at first. The numbers seemed arbitrary until I learned what they actually mean.

The Three Numbers Explained

Every pair of women's glasses has three measurements, like "52-17-140":

52mm - Lens width (how wide each lens is)

17mm - Bridge width (space between lenses)

140mm - Temple length (arm length)

Women's Size Ranges

Through research, I learned typical women's sizing:

Small/Petite: 48-50mm lens, 125-130mm total width

Medium/Standard: 51-53mm lens, 130-140mm total width

Large: 54mm+ lens, 140mm+ total width

How I Found My Size

I measured my face width (138mm) and found I need medium sizing:

Lens width: 52mm

Bridge: 17mm

Temple: 140mm

My Shopping Process

Measure my face or check current well-fitting glasses

Look for similar measurements in new frames

Verify total frame width matches my face

Check reviews about fit from other women

Common Mistakes I Made

Early on, I would:

Ignore measurements and buy based on style alone

Assume all "women's" frames would fit me

Not realize that sizing varies between brands

Now I always check measurements first, and my glasses fit perfectly every time.
