DISCOVER YOUR FIT

THE ANATOMY / 01

Four numbers that matter

Most frames display three numbers inside the temple arm, such as 52 □ 18 145. These are measurements in millimetres.

Lens width

Horizontal width of one lens at its widest point.

Bridge width

Distance between the lenses across the nose bridge.

Temple length

Length of the arm from the hinge to its tip.

Frame width

Overall width of the front of the frame, from side to side.

THE METHOD / 02

Start with what fits

01

Check the temple arm

Look inside your existing glasses for three numbers such as 52–18–145.

02

Measure with a ruler

Use a millimetre ruler to measure the lens, bridge and temple if the numbers have worn away.

03

Compare before ordering

Match your current comfortable fit with the dimensions on each Glow Opticals product page.

THE FINISHING TOUCH / 05

Comfort is the real measure

At the nose

The bridge should sit comfortably without pinching or sliding.

At the temples

Arms should rest gently without squeezing the sides of your head.

At the eyes

Your eyes should appear reasonably centred within the lenses.
