Fit & sizing tips for active days
Most Columbia eyeglasses here lean rectangular or square, which tends to stabilize on the face during movement. If your current frame reads 58–59 for lens width, you’ll feel right at home; those numbers suit medium-to-large heads and wider fields of view. For smaller faces, look for narrower lens widths or lower bridge numbers for a snugger perch.
Frames arrive with demo lenses and are Rx-ready once your optician fits your prescription.
Materials & care for daily wear
Acetate/plastic delivers a smooth, matte-to-gloss feel and reliable shape retention. Keep that fresh look by rinsing dust first, then wiping with a microfiber cloth. Spring hinges help the temples flex instead of stretch, so the fit stays comfy over time. For sportier days, you can also explore sport-ready frames built around motion.

FAQ
Do Columbia eyeglasses arrive with lenses?
They come with non-prescription demo lenses, so your optician can fit your prescription easily. This keeps the frames protected in transit and ready for custom optics. If the fit isn’t right after you try them at home, our 30-day returns make exchanges straightforward.
How do I pick between lens widths 58 vs 59?
Use the numbers inside a frame you already like. If you’re between sizes, consider bridge width: a smaller bridge can steady a slightly wider lens. For broader faces or more peripheral view, 59 often feels roomier; 58 suits medium-to-large heads that prefer a closer fit.
Are spring hinges worth it for everyday wear?
Yes—spring hinges flex outward to relieve pressure, helping your frames keep their shape and comfort over time. They’re handy if you take glasses on and off frequently or wear them during commutes and walks, adding durability without extra weight.
Do these frames include a case?
Yes, listings indicate an original case included, which protects the finish and helps your frames travel safely. Keep the case and cleaning cloth handy to extend the life of your lenses once your optician installs your prescription.
What if the frames feel too large once they arrive?
First, your optician can fine-tune temple curve and alignment for a better hold. If the size still isn’t right after adjustments, you can use our 30-day returns to switch to a narrower lens width or different bridge for a closer, more secure fit.
Can I add blue-light or reading lenses to these frames?
Absolutely. Frames are sold with demo lenses and are ready for your optician to fit prescription lenses—single-vision, progressives, or blue-light filters. Bring the frame and your prescription, and they’ll recommend lens materials and coatings to match your daily routine.
