In addition to your prescription, knowing your glasses measurements is one of the key elements to successful online glasses shopping. Once you know your frame measurements from your best-fitting glasses or sunglasses, you can confidently pick a pair knowing that you will have frames that fit.
Use temple (arm) measurements
Look at the inside arm of your frame and check for the numbers indicated above. If you see them clearly displayed, match them within a few millimeters to frames as you are shopping. With these numbers, you can also use our fit tool to refine your search by the sizes that will fit you best.
Use measurements from a current pair of glasses or sunglasses
If you don’t see any measurement numbers on the inside arm you can still find your fit by measuring your inside frame width and arm length.
How to measure your glasses
Step One: Measure the Inside Frame Width
To determine width, put the edge of your ruler over your frame and measure from the left hinge to the right hinge.
Step Two: Measure the Temple (arm) Length
Place your ruler at the hinge and measure straight across to the furthest end of the arm.
Tip: frame sizes do not usually have to be exact – numbers within a few millimeters in either width or length should still fit. Spring hinges allow for increased flexibility and durability in the life of your glasses.
