How eyeglasses fit begins with "Do you like the way the eyeglasses look on your face?" If you like the way the eyeglasses look on your face, and the frames are comfortable, then you don't need to do anything else. If the glasses are not comfortable or are slightly crooked, an optical professional can make minor adjustments to the bridge, nosepads, and temples to customize the eyewear to the uniqueness of your face. If you have a stronger prescription, we strongly recommend that you have your eyeglasses fitted by an eyecare professional.
Shop Glasses FramesThe easiest and fastest way to find the right size glasses for you to wear is to use your current glasses as a benchmark. Once you know the size of your current glasses, you have a frame of reference for a new pair of glasses. So let's say for example that your glasses have this size: 50-20-145. You can now use the Advanced Search function to search for eyeglasses with a similar size. When you do the search, search the eye size range 49-51, and search the bridge range 18-22, and do not search the temple size. Temple size is really not important except in very special cases. Searching a range of sizes is important because it vastly increases the number of results you will get, and also the difference in sizes will be almost unnoticeable compared to your current eyeglasses.
Search GlassesThere are two ways to measure eyeglasses frame size:
1) Read the tiny lettering on the inside of your glasses. Sometimes the lettering has worn off, or it is too small for you to see even with a magnifying glass. In which case you'll need to
2) Measure your glasses with a millimeter ruler. The eye size is measured from one side of the lens to the other, horizontally, at the widest points. The bridge size is the distance between the lenses at the closest point. The temple size is measured from the tip to the hinge, including the bend.
Almost all eyeglass frames are designed so they can be adjusted. You can take your eyeglass frames to a local optical professional or vision center for an adjustment or read more about adjusting your eyeglasses.
Eyeglasses.com pioneered the Virtual Try On VTO system for eyewear on the internet with two patents issued in 2003. You can use the VTO system on this website by looking for the VTO Icon. About half of the frames in our catalog have VTO images, and you can try those by going to the product detail page. There is a model wearing the glasses, but through the application on that page you can upload your own photo - so easy!
The great feature about this system is that after you input your pupillary distance measurement, the system shows you an accurate representation of the size of the eyeglasses frames on your own face. Unlike a shirt that you cannot change to fit your body, glasses can be adjusted to fit your face.
Facial coloring and face shape are two important factors to consider when choosing appropriate eyeglasses frames. The first step is to determine your face shape (oval, round, rectangular, etc). Frame shapes can be used to accentuate or de-accentuate your facial features, depending on how you choose to express your personality. For example, if your face is basically round, round glasses would reinforce that look, and rectangular glasses would reduce the roundness of your face. Frame coloring works the same way; you choose the frame color to either match or contrast with skin and hair tone, eye color, jewelry, and clothing colors. The degree to which you match or contrast will contribute to the expression of your personality and your look.
The shape of your eyeglasses frames can complement the shape of your face. To understand how eyeglasses shapes can affect your face, begin by understanding the fundamentals of face shape. While most faces are a combination of shapes and angles, there are six basic face shapes. Below are descriptions of these face shapes and guidelines for which type of glasses frames work well for each.
