Wondering what size glasses to buy? This video from FramesDirect.com explains how to measure your frame size by looking at your current glasses. We also break down the meanings of the numbers that appear on your frames - eye size, bridge size, and temple length. Remember, your eyeglasses and sunglasses will be different sizes, sunglasses are usually much larger. It's easy to find a perfectly fitting pair of glasses online if you know how to find your size.
One question we get asked a lot is, "How do I find my size?" If you have a current pair of glasses, it's very simple. You can look on the inside of the frames and, normally, there'll be some numbers stamped on the inside of the arm pieces, or on the nose bridge area.
Your eye size is the width of the lens. Your bridge is the measurement between your lenses. Your temple is the arm piece length. With that, we can tell if the frame is going to be a good fit for you, and they're not going to be too small, or too big.
Your eye glasses (framesdirect.com/eyeglasses/), and sunglasses (framesdirect.com/sunglasses/) will normally be different sizes. Sunglasses sizes are normally much larger than eye glasses to give you more coverage from the sun, and more protection (framesdirect.com/knowledge-center/uv-coating).
