Customized Sizing
A Frame for Every Face
With more than 75 years of combined experience, our opticians have a knack for noticing features that will complicate your glasses fitting. For example, men with large frames tend to also have larger heads. Unfortunately, many manufacturers don’t account for these variances, leaving those who should be in larger frames feeling trapped in a pair that pinches and squeezes. Plus, frames that are too small look less attractive than properly sized pairs. On the other hand, we’ve also seen many petite faces in our shop, so we need options that will span the diverse range of individual features we see every day—even if we have to make a pair from scratch!
There are more nerves on your face than any other body part, so it makes sense that the accessories you choose to place on it should be as comfortable as possible. Our team is skilled in assessing the specific needs of your face, accounting for each measurement to ensure a perfect fit with every pair.
Properly Measuring Eyewear
The process of properly measuring a pair of glasses is intricate. Each measurement will slightly alter all of the others, so working with an experienced, professional optician ensures each tiny tweak and adjustment is customized to perfectly fit your face. The following are a few of the most important measurements we’ll take when determining the best fit for your face.
Bridge Measurement: Your nose is fairly sensitive. If you’ve ever had a nose injury or broken your nose, you know that firsthand. Our opticians can measure your bridge width to find the perfect size to put you on the path toward comfortable frames.
Eye Size: Your eye size determines where and how your eye sits in a frame and is the key factor in pinpointing the perfect width and height for your frames. Often a simple adjustment in the width of your frames is all it takes to create a more comfortable fit. These exact measurements come in handy for a number of glasses wearers, including individuals who need deeper frames to support progressive lenses or who notice blurring in their periphery. Correctly determining your eye size can even help us reduce the thickness of your lenses!
Temple Arm Length: Getting the right measurement from the arms of your glasses is another way to ensure they fit snugly without being too tight. The height of the ears and their distance from the face are two important factors in every adjustment so we can make sure your frames sit comfortably on the bones behind your ears.
