When your frames don’t fit properly, comfort and style both suffer. You might notice: • Marks on your nose that linger • Glasses that keep sliding down • Pressure on your temples leading to headaches • Frames that overpower your face instead of complementing it This becomes even more important when choosing lightweight titanium frames or opting for high-index lenses, where precision really matters.
Understanding Frame Measurements
Lens Width (47–55mm) This refers to the width of each individual lens. Face shape plays a key role here — smaller faces usually feel more balanced with 47–49mm, while wider faces tend to suit 53–55mm.
Bridge Width (14–24mm) The bridge sits across your nose and connects the lenses. If this measurement isn’t right, you’ll constantly be adjusting your glasses. Especially with thin titanium frames, bridge width is essential for all-day comfort.
Temple Length (135–150mm) These are the arms of the glasses that rest over your ears. The right length prevents pressure and slipping. Hingeless designs require extra attention to this measurement for the best fit.
What You’ll Need to Measure Before getting started, make sure you have: • A standard ruler (with millimeter measurements) • A mirror • Your current glasses (if available) • 5 minutes of uninterrupted time
Common Frame Sizing Mistakes Even with professionally crafted titanium frames, these mistakes are more common than you think: • Choosing a size based on someone else’s glasses • Overlooking how prescription strength affects fit • Ignoring face shape altogether • Feeling intimidated by measurements and numbers
