Choosing the right size is essential for comfort and fit.
Glasses dimensions are expressed with three numbers, for example:
👉 50 ☐ 21 ☐ 145
Here's what they indicate:
-
50 – Lens width (caliper)
The horizontal measurement of the lens, in millimeters.
-
21 – Bridge width
The distance between the two lenses, or the part that rests on the nose, in millimeters.
-
145 – Temple length
The length of the temples that rest on the ears, in millimeters.
🎯 How to choose the correct size
To guide you easily:
-
Small face → caliper 48–50
-
Medium face → caliper 51–54
-
Large face → caliper 55+
For temples:
- 135 mm → compact fit
- 140 mm → standard fit
- 145 mm → wider fit
🔍 Useful tip
The easiest method is to start with a pair of glasses you already wear:
✔ Check the numbers inside the temple arm
✔ Choose a model with similar measurements
This way, you minimize errors and returns.
