Quick answer: match your current size, then fine-tune.
Start with the lens width you already wear; keep the bridge close to your baseline. If temples feel snug, widen the lens by 1-2 mm for pressure relief.
Typical lens widths in this collection sit around 51-53 mm—exceptions exist. Use that band to narrow choices fast and then decide by material feel.
Fit notes for steady comfort
With Zadig & Voltaire frames, stability comes from a closer bridge and balanced front width. If you have a low nose bridge and frames tend to slip, look for a closer bridge or styles with unobtrusive pads to raise and steady the fit—our low-bridge tips below address the usual “slide by midday” complaint.
Spring-hinge benefits help many faces by easing on-off strain and keeping the temples relaxed through a long day. For proportion, use this quick reference: a touch wider reads bolder; a hair narrower feels tidier on small faces. When you’re torn between two sizes, choose the one that sits flatter at the bridge.

FAQ
How do Zadig & Voltaire eyeglasses generally fit for everyday wear?
Most styles feel balanced and easy once you match lens width to a pair you already own. Keep the bridge close to that baseline for stability, then adjust temple length for comfort. If sides pinch slightly, try one step wider in lens width; if the front slides, choose a closer bridge.
Which sizes should I start with if I have a narrow face?
Use your current frame as a starting point and test one step down in lens width if it looks wide at the edges. A typical narrow-friendly band here is around the low 50s in lens width; keep the bridge close to your best-fitting pair to prevent slip while keeping proportions tidy.
Are Zadig & Voltaire frames comfortable on a low bridge?
Yes—look for a closer bridge fit and, on select metal styles, subtle pads to raise and steady the frame. This combination reduces midday slide. If you’re between two sizes, pick the one that sits flatter at the bridge; then fine-tune temple pressure at an optician if needed.
What materials do these eyeglasses use and how do they feel?
Acetate offers smooth edges and color depth with a reassuring presence. Metal feels lighter and allows small nose adjustments on select styles. Mixed builds combine both traits for balanced wear. Choose the feel you prefer first, then confirm the bridge and lens width match your usual size.
How can I stop temple pressure without changing the overall look?
Keep the bridge the same and widen lens width by 1–2 mm to relax the sides. Small temple adjustments at an optician can also help. If pressure persists, try a model with spring hinges for a gentler grip while keeping the front proportions similar to what you already like.
Do Zadig & Voltaire eyeglasses come with a case?
Listings typically include a protective case or pouch, but it varies by model. Check the “What’s included” section on the product page for the exact contents. A case helps prevent scratches in bags and keeps frames from bending when you’re on the go.
Are you an authorized retailer for Zadig & Voltaire frames?
Yes. ModaFrames is an authorized retailer, which means the frames are authentic and sourced through approved channels. You get manufacturer-level authenticity plus our store’s straightforward service if you need help with your order.
Where can I get quick help on sizing and care?
Our Eyewear FAQ covers sizing basics, care tips, and service questions in one place. Use it alongside the size listed on each product page to confirm lens width, bridge, and temple before you check out.
What if frames slide on my low bridge by afternoon?
Choose a closer bridge fit and consider metal styles with subtle pads to raise the frame a touch. A tiny angle tweak at an optician helps too. If you’re between sizes, keep the bridge steady and try one lens width narrower to increase stability without changing the overall look.
Can I return a pair if the fit isn’t right?
Yes—compare at home and return within the stated window if the fit isn’t working for you. Review the store’s policy details before ordering and keep all packaging until you’re sure. This gives you room to test two nearby sizes and settle on the most comfortable option.
