Answer first: match your best lens width, then adjust the bridge by 1–2 mm — 3:00 eyeglasses
Keep sizing objective: begin with a pair that already fits and nudge the bridge closer or wider for a calm, settled feel. Frames arrive with demo lenses; your optician fits your prescription.
Fit-size playbook: live items cluster around a compact front — typical comparisons center on 48 mm lens width, bridges at 17–18 mm, and 140 mm temples. If the nose pinch appears, open the bridge one step; if the front drifts, hold lens width and bring the bridge a touch closer. (Searching for oval metal eyeglasses 48-17-140 style cues can help you benchmark fit.)
Low-bridge stability: for low bridge glasses that don’t slip, favor a closer bridge and a front that sits level, not high. If movement persists, an optician can add a light inward temple bend for grip without pressure hot spots.
Materials & care: metal construction balances weight and softens contact points; many wearers like the day-to-day flex of spring hinges — skim our Spring-hinge benefits to see when they help most. Rinse with lukewarm water, use mild soap on oils, and dry gently to keep the finish clear.
Shape balance: compact ovals soften angles and suit smaller lens heights. For proportion checks by face type, see our Face-shape tips and compare two nearby sizes side by side.
Accessories: listings note a generic hard case or pouch; original maker case is not included. Selections rotate on a regular cadence — compare details on each product page. For peace of mind, review our Return policy before you buy.

FAQ
How do I choose the right size in 3:00 eyeglasses?
Start with the lens width from a pair that already fits, then adjust the bridge by 1 mm if the front drifts or pinches. Keep temples close to your baseline length so weight balances behind the ears. A five-minute wear test should feel calm at the nose and quiet at the temples.
Which 3:00 frames work for a low bridge that slips?
Choose a closer bridge and a front that sits level. If sliding continues, hold lens width and step the bridge one size tighter. An optician can add a gentle inward temple bend for extra grip without creating pressure points on the ears or cheeks.
Are the lenses ready to use out of the box?
No. Frames include demo lenses intended for display. Bring the frame to your optician to fit prescription lenses aligned to your PD and lens height so optical centers sit correctly for clear, comfortable vision through the day.
Do 3:00 eyeglasses include a case or pouch?
Most listings note a generic hard case or pouch is included for protection. Contents can vary by style, so check the product page details before purchase to know exactly how your frame will be packaged and carried.
What if I feel temple pressure after an hour?
Keep your lens width and relieve pressure by opening the bridge slightly, or ask an optician for a mild outward temple tweak. Small adjustments preserve your look while easing hot spots behind the ears for longer-wear comfort.
Are spring hinges worth it for daily wear in 3:00?
Often yes. Spring hinges add a bit of outward flex that helps frames settle comfortably during on-off cycles and reduces the chance of accidental stretching. If your ears get sensitive late in the day, this feature usually delivers a calmer feel.
Which 3:00 eyeglasses suit a small or narrow face?
Compact ovals tend to look proportionate and feel light. Compare a 48-17-140 to a similar 48-18-140 to see how bridge spacing changes stability. If the front drifts, prioritize the closer bridge; if it pinches, try the wider bridge while holding lens width.
Are you an authorized retailer for 3:00?
Yes — ModaFrames is an authorized retailer. Products are supplied through legitimate channels with authentic branding and standard packaging as provided by the maker or distributor.
Can I reuse my current PD and lens height measurements?
Usually yes. Bring your numbers and a well-fitting pair as a reference. Your optician will verify PD and height against the chosen frame so optics center correctly, keeping clarity and comfort where you need them.
Where can I find quick answers about orders and sizing?
