Answer the fit first - a shape guide by Garrett Leight
If you’re between sizes, start with lens width and bridge: a 48-50 mm lens with a 19-21 mm bridge suits many medium faces. Round softens angles; square sharpens softer features. Need a quick refresher on matching frames to face lines? See our Face-shape tips for easy checkpoints.
Lenses and everyday clarity
Optical frames are designed for clarity and comfort, so prioritize balance at the temples and a nose fit that doesn’t slide after an hour; frames arrive with demo lenses; your optician fits your Rx.
Materials and care, made simple
Acetate feels silky and warms slightly to your skin, while metal builds offer a slimmer profile and adjustable nose pads for a steadier perch. Most listings include a protective case or pouch — check “What’s included” on the product page before you buy.

FAQ
How do I choose the right size without trying them on?
Start with your current frame’s numbers (inside the temple). As a guide, many medium faces land around 48-50 mm lens width and 19-21 mm bridge. Keep temple length close to what you already wear for balance behind the ear. If you’re between sizes, size up one step in lens width for a more relaxed fit.
Do these eyeglasses include prescription lenses?
Frames ship with non-prescription demo lenses so you can assess fit and style. An optician will replace them with your prescription lenses and verify alignment. Bring the frame’s size numbers to your appointment so your optician can fine-tune lens thickness and edge finish for your chosen style.
Are nose pads adjustable on every model?
Metal styles typically include adjustable pads for a custom perch, while most acetate frames use molded bridges (keyhole or saddle). If you prefer precise height tweaking or have a lower nose bridge, look for styles with adjustable pads; they help reduce sliding and hot spots during long wear.
What comes with the frames?
Listings usually include a protective case or pouch for storage and transport. Inclusions can vary by style and batch, so always check the “What’s included” note on the product page before you buy. If you’re gifting, this quick check ensures the presentation matches your expectations.
Can I return them if the fit isn’t right?
Yes. There’s a 30-day return window as long as items are new and unaltered with all original accessories. Try the frames gently at home to confirm comfort and proportion. If you need to start a return, initiate it from your order history and follow the simple instructions provided.
How do spring hinges affect comfort?
Spring hinges add flex at the temples, easing pressure during long wear and helping the frame sit more securely as you move. They’re especially useful if your head size is between standard widths. If you remove glasses frequently, this flexibility also reduces the chance of bending the temple tips.
