FIND YOUR
FRAME.
A comprehensive fit guide covering frame dimensions, face width, wraparound geometry, nose contact, temple pressure, coverage, sport fit and common fit problems.
Comparison beats guessing.
Eyewear sizing is more useful when you compare it with something you already know fits. Two frames can share similar numbers and still feel different because of curvature, nose design, lens height, temple angle and material flexibility.
Total Frame Width
Overall horizontal width across the front at the widest point.
Lens Width
Horizontal measurement of one lens, usually shown in millimeters.
Lens Height
Vertical lens size and an important clue for coverage and cheek clearance.
Bridge Width
Distance between lenses where the frame sits over the nose.
Temple Length
Length of the arms from hinge toward the ear.
Frame Curvature
How strongly the front wraps around the face.
Use millimeters and measure carefully.
- Choose sunglasses that already fit comfortably.
- Check the inside of the temple arm for printed measurements.
- Measure total width across the widest part of the front.
- Measure one lens horizontally at the widest point.
- Measure lens height vertically at the tallest point.
- Measure the bridge space between lenses.
- Measure the temple arm length.
- Compare curvature and overall shape, not only the numbers.
Narrow, medium or wide?
NARROW
Often preferred for smaller face widths or customers who like a closer fit.
MEDIUM
A balanced range that may suit many average face widths.
WIDE
More room for broader face widths or customers who prefer less temple pressure.
Common symptoms and what they may mean.
| Symptom | Possible cause | Compare |
|---|---|---|
| Temple pressure | Frame too narrow or temple geometry unsuitable. | Total width + arm shape. |
| Sliding down | Nose contact or overall width may be too loose. | Bridge/nose design + width. |
| Lenses touch cheeks | Lens height or curvature may sit too close. | Lens height + wrap. |
| Large side gaps | Frame may be too wide or too flat. | Width + curvature. |
| Unstable while running | Fit may be too loose for movement. | Nose contact + temple grip. |
| Pressure behind ears | Temple length/curve may not suit your ear position. | Temple length + bend. |
| Frame sits crooked | Face asymmetry or frame alignment may differ side-to-side. | Hinge alignment + temple fit. |
Sport frames often sit closer.
Wraparound geometry
A stronger wrap can improve side coverage and stability but may feel narrower than a flatter frame with the same listed width.
Field of view
Larger lenses and shield designs can reduce visual interruption around the edges.
Cheek clearance
Large lenses can sit close to the cheeks depending on nose structure and frame curvature.
Helmet compatibility
For cycling, consider how the temple arms interact with helmet straps and retention systems.
Nose contact
Stable contact can reduce sliding, but too much pressure may become uncomfortable over long wear.
Sweat and movement
Repeated movement can expose fit issues that are not obvious during a quick try-on.
Use style rules as inspiration, not law.
Face-shape recommendations can be useful for exploring proportions, but comfort, frame measurements and what you actually like matter more. A frame that fits well and makes you feel confident is more useful than rigidly following a style chart.
Three checks before adding to cart.
Check total width
Compare with your current frame.
Check lens height
Helps estimate coverage and cheek clearance.
Check curvature
Performance wrap can dramatically change how the same width feels.
