Before purchasing a pair of sunglasses that can suit your face shape, you need to measure your face. Getting to know the exact size of your face can make it easier for you to get the best-suited sunglasses for yourself. This chapter will learn about two ways to provide you with the exact measurements for your next pair of sunglasses.
People often choose sunglasses that might be too large or too small for their face by just following trends rather than taking something that looks appropriate for their faces.
Sometimes people have preconceived notions of wearing specific eye-rim sizes mentioned on the eyewear like 50 or 58. But this too is misleading. The eye size mentioned on the eyewear is no guarantee that it is appropriate for you. The eye size refers to the largest diameter of the lens.
The width of the eyewear is a more appropriate guide to the right size for you. This needs to be tried on physically and checked for adjustments possible by the optical technician at an optical shop.
This is probably a reason that fashion eyewear has not been very successfully sold online and there are frequent returns due to fitting issues. Hence, trying the eyewear physically, and checking if the eyewear stays in place even when you look downwards and shake your head a bit, will ensure that you have the right size of eyewear for you. Adjustments to achieve this criteria of fitting by the technician will ensure long term comfort for you.
How To Measure Sunglasses Size?
Although there are apps available online that allow you to measure the width of the eyewear required by comparing with the width of a credit card, the tech still needs some catching up to do to become accurate and useful to the end buyer. The ideal way would be to try out an eyewear at an optical shop and ask the technician to adjust the length of the temples such that it appropriately anchors the eyewear behind the ears. Then lower the neck downwards and shake head a bit. If the eyewear slips downwards, then it still need to be adjusted or is of incorrect size for you.
