FIT GUIDE: CHOOSING THE RIGHT FRAMES FOR YOU
Not sure what style to choose, or which frames will fit you best? Start with what you already love. Grab a pair of sunnies or glasses that fit you well - that’s your best reference point for shape and size.
Tips
- Getting the right fit for your reading glasses is just as important as choosing the right lens strength.
- Properly fitting frames feel comfortable, stay in place, and make you look - and see - your best.
Start with a pair of frames you already own
We recommend starting with what you already love. Grab a pair of sunnies or glasses that fit you well - that’s your best reference point for shape and size.
- Check the inside of the arm on your current glasses - most will have three numbers printed on the arm (eg 50-20-140, ie LW-BW-TL). These are your frame's key measurements.
- Sunnies don’t usually include these, so you might need to break out the tape measure for those old-school stats.
- Use these numbers to match up with the fit guide on each of our product pages - and you’ll be looking sharp in no time.
Key Measurements
Every pair of our reading glasses comes with three key measurements to help you find the right fit, LW-BW-TL.
- LW - Lens Width: The horizontal width of each lens (excluding the frame), measured at its widest point.
- BW - Bridge Width: The distance between the lenses (across your nose).
- TL - Temple Length: The length of the arms, from hinge to tip (including the bit that curves behind your ear).
Each pair of reading glasses on our website shows these measurements on the product page. Compare to your existing glasses or your favourite frames or sunglasses.
