FRAME FRONT

TEMPLES

Long arms on the sides of the frame that extend from the hinge and over the ears to keep the glasses on your face. Temple length varies and plays a factor in the fit of a frame.

HINGES

Moveable joints found on the inside of the frame which allows the temples to fold inward. Spring hinges in eyeglass frames allow for the best fit flexibility in a frame, as the spring temples can hyperextend beyond 180 degrees.

LENSES

The clear or tinted material placed inside the frame you choose. Lenses commonly come in clear plastic or polycarbonate. Fully magnified, bifocals, multifocals, reading sunglasses, and blue light lens types

NOSE PADS

Small pieces secured under the frame bridge that rest on your nose and help keep the frame in place, while providing comfort and a snug fit. On metal frames, nose pads are plastic, while most plastic frames have built-in nose pads.

NOSE BRIDGE

The arched portion of the front frame that rests on your nose and bears most of the weight of the glasses.

TEMPLE TIPS

Plastic pieces that cover the temple ends where the temples rest behind the ears. They provide extra comfort to the wearer, especially on glasses with metal frames. Also referred to as earpieces.

SCREWS

Small metal or plastic pieces inserted into the hinge to connect the temple to the frame’s end piece. Screws may also be found on the bridge to hold nose pads in place.

FRAME SIZES

Finding the ideal eyeglass frame size is super important when buying glasses online. But did you know it’s also super-simple? We created our Frame Measurement Guide to make finding your personal fit an easy and quick process. Come discover what you need to know to discover your glasses measurements.

Reading Your Frame Size

To ensure your frames fit perfectly, first determine which size frames are best for you. The best place to start is with the eyeglass measurements on a pair you already own.

First, search for the three little numbers on the inside of the temple of your glasses. Some may also refer to this section as the “arm” of your glasses. These three numbers are the frame’s measurements.

From left to right, these eyeglass measurements appear in the following order:

1. Lens width
2. Bridge width
3. Temple length

Sometimes a fourth number will be noted on the arms, which is your lens height. Keep in mind that all of these measurements are in millimeters.

Lens Width

This is the horizontal width of each lens at its widest point. It typically ranges from 40mm to 60mm.

Bridge Width

This is the distance between your two lenses. In short, the bridge width is the space where your frames fit against your nose. The size of this piece ranges from 14mm to 24mm.

Lens Height

This is the vertical height of your eyeglass lenses at the widest point of the lens within the frame. The lens height is important when measuring bifocals or progressive lenses.

Temple (Arm) Length

This is the length of the temple from each screw to its temple tip, including the bend that sits on your ear. The temple is typically 120mm to 150mm long.
