How to measure frame size

1
Measure your temple-to-temple width using a mirror and ruler. Hold the ruler horizontally across your face and below your eyes. Measure the distance between left and right temples. Record the measurement in millimeters.

2
Use your temple-to-temple width to find the total width of your glasses. The total width of your glasses (both lens frames + bridge) should correspond as closely as possible to your temple-to-temple measurement.
For example, if your temple-to-temple width was 132 millimetres (5.2 in), then you should look for a pair of glasses with a width in the 130–134 millimetres (5.1–5.3 in) range.

3
Use your total width to determine temple length. The arms or temples of your glasses are the two pieces that attach to your frames and rest on your ears. While temples can range between 120–150 millimetres (4.7–5.9 in), they typically come in three preset sizes: 135, 140, and 145 mm. The wider your total width, the larger your temples need to be.
If your total width was on the higher end you will want to opt for 145 millimetres (5.7 in) temples, or possibly more.
If your total width was on the smaller side, then you should opt for the 135–140 millimetres (5.3–5.5 in) temples.[5]
If you try a pair of glasses on, and the temple sticks out past your ear, you should look for a pair with smaller temples as this will cause discomfort.

with these 3 simple steps you get an idea about what size of frames to look for.
we encourage our visitors to shop for eyeglasses at an optical showroom instead of buying online for the benefits given below

  1. you get the benefit of trying frames, examine the quality, comfort in wearing, fit and finish, ensure the frames are a perfect fit (minor adjustments on the arms and nosepads can be done by the technician in store).
  2. when you’re purchasing eyeglasses from an optical showroom, you’re also provided free service for your glasses which ranges from frames alignment which occurs due to rough use and not placing the glasses inside the case after using which is very common , replacing nosepads, complete servicing of frames and lenses separately once or twice a year, which can only be done by a technician.
  3. as mentioned above due to rough use and improper storage, the lenses can get scratched overtime despite having scratch resistance coating. in this case, since the frames are relatively undamaged and can be aligned, only the lenses needs to be replaced, which can be done in the showroom itself, thus ensuring value for you money.
  4. you can have your eyes checked at regular intervals (6 months to 1 year ideally) at the showroom itself for free, since they are obliged and diligent to serve you. after testing your eyesight you don’t necessarily have to buy a new pair of glasses or change lenses unless they are damaged or scratched.
