Oval Frame Vintage Style Glasses

To find the best fit for your glasses, first you should look for the perfect frame width.

A frame that’s slightly wider than your face is a good place to start — no more than a finger width between the temple and your face is a good rule of thumb.

If you’ve already got a pair of glasses that fit, measure from screw to screw on the face front for a good idea of the frame width.

Other Useful Measurements

You’ll also sometimes see other measurements on the temple (arm) of your glasses.

These three numbers represent different parts of the frame:

• Lens width
• Bridge width
• Temple length
