Eyeglass Frame Measurements Explained

The Three Key Measurements

Most eyeglass sizing systems focus on lens width, bridge width, and temple length. Together, these numbers describe the basic dimensions of a frame and help shoppers compare products.

Lens Width

Lens width measures the horizontal width of one lens opening. Larger lens widths generally create a larger overall frame, although the bridge and frame construction also affect total size.

Bridge Width

The bridge connects the two lenses and influences how the frame sits on your nose. A suitable bridge can help prevent sliding or uncomfortable pressure.

Temple Length

Temple length describes the arm of the frame that extends toward the ears. The correct length helps the frame remain stable without creating pressure behind the ears.

When shopping at Wearluxurys, compare these measurements with a frame you already know fits comfortably. Measurements are one of the best tools for buying eyewear online.
