Size Guide for Eyewear

Eyewear has three primary sizes you need to know about.

Eye size (OR KNOWN AS THE "WIDTH") is the width of the lenses at the widest part. It’s the most common measurement you’ll see in reference to the size of glasses. Ray-Ban New Wayfarer Sunglasses come in 52 mm and 55 mm lens sizes.

Bridge size measures the piece of metal or plastic that connects the lenses. In order to measure the bridge, you start and end at the innermost side of the lenses and measure to the same spot on the other side of the bridge.

Temple size is the measurement of the arms of the sunglasses. Also called the temples, the measurement of the arms starts at the hinges and continues in a straight line to the farthest point without sloping downward.

Size Your Eyewear

When measuring your face, you’ll need to line a ruler up (on the millimeter side) with the location of your temple. The ruler shouldn’t wrap around your head, instead, it should float in front of your face in the space where your temple is located. Then, measure straight across to the other temple. The measurement you get is the best frame size for your face.

General width will tell you how large the glasses are in total. You can then measure your face and see how many millimeters across it is to get a rough idea of how large the glasses will be. To figure this part out, measure the segments of the temples you can see from the front along with the lenses and bridge. That number will tell you roughly if the glasses are large enough for your face.

How does your current eyewear match-up?? 

If you know the total width of the sunglasses (including lenses, end pieces and bridge), you can in general, subtract 6 mm from the total and compare it to the width you calculated earlier. If it’s within 2 mm of your face size, they should be a good fit for you. If you don’t have the total width but you have the glasses to measure, add up the lenses multiplied by two with the bridge size. If that number is within 2 mm of your face size, you should be good to go with those glasses as well.
