Eye Glasses Frame Size Chart: How I Found My Size

An eye glasses frame size chart transformed my shopping experience from frustrating to efficient. Here's how I use it.

Understanding the Chart

The chart breaks down sizing into categories:

Small - For faces under 130mm wide

Medium - For faces 130-145mm wide

Large - For faces over 145mm wide

Finding My Category

I measured my face at 138mm, placing me in the medium category. The chart then showed me:

Recommended lens width: 51-54mm

Typical bridge width: 17-19mm

Standard temple length: 140-145mm

My Shopping Strategy

Now I:

Check the chart for my size range

Only consider frames within that range

Verify measurements before purchasing

The Result

Every pair I buy now fits perfectly. The chart takes the guesswork out of sizing.
