Find the best glasses for your face shape

Discovering your face shape

 

Knowing your face shape is key to finding the best prescription glasses for your needs and look. Here’s how to measure and identify your face shape:

 

  • Forehead width: Measure across the widest part of your forehead, usually halfway between your eyebrows and hairline.
  • Cheekbone width: Measure across your face from the outer corner of one eye to the outer corner of the other eye.
  • Jawline width: Measure from the tip of your chin to below your ear at your jaw’s widest point. Multiply this number by two.
  • Face length: Measure from the center of your hairline to the tip of your chin.

Quick tips for finding the perfect fit

The right glasses for your face type make you feel comfortable and confident. Here are some quick tips to help you find the perfect fit:

 

  • Frame width: The frame should be as wide as your face or slightly wider.
  • Frame height: Shorter frames suit shorter faces, while taller frames balance out longer faces.
  • Hairline: If you have a high forehead, avoid frames that sit too low on your face.
  • Eyebrows: Your glasses should not cover your eyebrows; they should sit below them to maintain natural facial proportions and allow for clear emotion expression.
  • Comfort: Lightweight materials, well-designed temples, and a snug but not-too-tight nose bridge will prevent discomfort. Try them on and check for any pressure points.
