Fit & sizing tips (petite to regular)
Most styles in this collection land in the 52–54 mm lens-width range with 135–140 mm temples—an easy, close-to-face fit for petite and average head sizes. If you prefer a firmer hold, look for non-spring temples; for all-day ease, spring-hinge styles flex slightly as you move. Cat-eye shapes visually lift the cheek area without widening the frame footprint.
Eyeglasses arrive with demo lenses (non-prescription) and are Rx-ready for your optician to fit with your prescription.
Materials & care for daily wear
Plastics keep things light and budget-friendly; metal variants feel sleeker and often sit a touch lower-profile on the bridge. Full-rim builds add sturdiness for bags and commutes. For care, rinse with lukewarm water, blot dry with a microfiber cloth, and store in a case—think of it like parking a bike in a rack instead of leaning it on a wall.
Face-shape pointers for quick picks
Rounded cat-eyes soften angular jawlines; slightly squared cat-eyes balance rounder faces. If your features are petite, choose slimmer rims to keep proportions tidy. For more inspo, see our

FAQ
Are Eddie Bauer eyeglasses good for petite faces?
Yes—many styles in this collection sit around 52–54 mm in lens width with 135–140 mm temples, which tends to suit petite-to-regular head sizes. For a smaller visual footprint, pick slimmer rims and narrower bridges. Cat-eye designs also lift the face without adding bulk, keeping proportions balanced and neat.
Do these frames come ready for prescription lenses?
Frames are supplied with demo lenses (non-prescription). Your local optician can replace them with your custom prescription—single vision or progressives, as recommended. Bring the frame along to your appointment and ask the optician to confirm fit for your PD, lens height, and preferred lens material.
What is the benefit of spring hinges on select styles?
Spring hinges add gentle outward flex at the temples, which can reduce pressure points and help the frame stay comfortable during long wear. They also add a bit of durability if you take glasses on and off often. If you prefer a firmer feel, choose a non-spring model instead.
Which face shapes work with cat-eye frames?
Cat-eye frames add lift at the outer corners, flattering oval and round faces and softening strong jawlines. If your face is very angular, look for slightly rounded cat-eyes. Want more pointers before deciding? Our quick blog explainer on cat-eye styles shows examples and pairing tips to try at home.
Are cases included with the glasses?
Most frames ship with a simple protective case or pouch to help you store and transport them safely. Case style can vary by model and batch. We recommend using any rigid case during commuting—it's a small step that keeps frames looking new longer and helps prevent lens scratches.
How budget-friendly is this collection?
Many Eddie Bauer eyeglasses here are priced well under $50, making them an easy upgrade or spare-pair choice. Prices can change with availability and color options, so check the product page for current totals. Free US shipping and 30-day returns add extra peace of mind while you compare fits.
Can I add clip-on sun lenses to these frames?
Some styles work with aftermarket clip-ons, but it depends on the exact shape and size. If clip-ons are a must, measure the lens width and height on the product page and compare with the maker’s size chart for the clip-on. Your optician can also advise on custom sun clips for a precise match.
