Choosing the right eyewear can be a complex process. This guide will help you find your best match. All eyewear has different functional and aesthetic characteristics, so we use three pieces of information to determine the following:
If you need help finding the right size, try our Size Advisor:
The size of the frame counts as functional information, which is defined by one principal number:
This information defines the following sizes:
| Hinge to hinge (in) | Hinge to hinge (mm) | Size |
|---|---|---|
| <4.8 | <121 | XXS |
| 4.8-4.9 | 121-124 | XS |
| 4.9-5 | 125-128 | S |
| 5.1-5.2 | 129-132 | M |
| 5.3-5.4 | 133-136 | L |
| 5.4-5.5 | 137-140 | XL |
| >5.5 | >>140 | XXL |
Try our Size Advisor and we'll measure it for you! Or, you can use a ruler to measure the hinge-to-hinge distance of a pair of glasses that you already own.
If you already own a pair of glasses, you’ll find numbers engraved on the inside of the eyewear temple. These numbers indicate the following:
The first number is the model name, followed by the lens width and bridge width.
There is usually a third number that represents the temple length, or the measurement of the "arms" of your frame.
Sometimes there is a fourth number that indicates the lens height.
Each of these numbers is measured in mm.
Fitting is aesthethical information which determines the amount of face coverage for a given size.

As a reference, you may want to check the size of your current eyewear, by looking at the inner side of the temple. Should you see a fourth number at the end, this refers to lens height (i.e. 49/21/145/43.3).
