How to Read Your Glasses Size

How to Read Your Glasses Size

When you’re shopping for premium eyewear, style is only half the story.
The other half is fit — and that comes down to knowing your glasses size.
A perfectly sized frame feels effortless, stays in place, and enhances your facial features.

Most glasses have three numbers printed discreetly on the inside of the temple arm — something like 60-13-145.
Here’s what each number means:


Lens Width (Example: 60 mm)

The horizontal measurement of one lens, in millimeters.
This affects how your glasses balance on your face — larger lenses create a bolder look, while smaller ones feel more refined.


Bridge Width (Example: 13 mm)

The distance between the lenses, measured at the bridge over your nose.
A narrower bridge offers a snug fit, while a wider bridge gives more breathing space.
Too small and your glasses will pinch; too large and they may slide down.


Temple Length (Example: 145 mm)

The length of the arm, from the hinge to the tip that rests behind your ear.
This ensures your frames stay secure without pressing uncomfortably.


How to Find Your Size

Check Your Current Pair
Most luxury frames have the size printed inside the arm.

Measure at Home – Use a millimeter ruler:

  1. Measure the lens width across the widest point of one lens.

  2. Measure the bridge width from one lens edge to the other at the bridge.

  3. Measure the temple length from the hinge to the tip.


Why Size Matters

Choosing the right size isn’t just about comfort — it’s about proportion and presence.
Frames that match your measurements feel tailored, much like a well-fitted suit.

Whether you’re selecting timeless aviators or modern geometric silhouettes, knowing your numbers ensures you get the perfect blend of style and function.


Premium eyewear isn’t just an accessory — it’s a statement.
By understanding your size, you’re one step closer to finding frames that feel as good as they look.
