1  |  The Three Key Measurements

Symbol	What it Measures	Typical Range	Why it Matters
□ Lens Width	Horizontal diameter of one lens	48–62 mm	Determines how the frame spans your eyes & brow line
– Bridge Width	Distance between the two lenses	14–22 mm	Ensures comfort across the nose and proper lens alignment
⌒ Temple Length	Arm length from hinge to tip	135–150 mm	Keeps the glasses secure behind the ear without pressure

Each frame is engraved with these numbers and they can also be found on the product page.



2  |  Fit‑at‑a‑Glance Chart

Total Frame Width*	Lens Width	Fit Category	How It Feels
≤ 130 mm	≤ 50 mm	Narrow	Sits neatly inside your temples; ideal for slim faces
131 – 138 mm	51–54 mm	Medium	Universal “just‑right” fit for most customers
≥ 139 mm	≥ 55 mm	Wide	Extra breathing room for broad cheekbones or larger heads

*Total width ≈ (2 × Lens Width) + Bridge Width

3  |  How to Measure Yourself at Home

1. Use a favourite pair
   – Locate the three‑number code printed inside the arm (e.g., “53 □ 18 145”).
   – Compare each value with the measurements on our product page.

2. Card Test (30 sec.)
   – Stand before a mirror, hold a standard credit card vertically under one eye.
   – Edge aligns with outer eye corner → Medium fit
   – Card ends before eye corner → Narrow fit
   – Card extends past eye corner → Wide fit

3. Precision Method
   – Place a ruler across your face, temple to temple.
   – Note the millimetres and match to the chart above.
