Choose frames for your face shape
A simple rule of thumb is to choose frames that contrast with your face shape: angular frames for rounder faces, softer frames for angular ones. Treat it as a starting point; fit and your own taste matter more.
Find your fit
The quickest way to find frames that fit is to measure a pair you already wear comfortably and compare those numbers with ours. Check the bridge, the overall width and the temple length, then let the style follow.
Frame size guide
Frame size comes down to five measurements: lens width, bridge, temple length, lens height and total front width. Measure a pair that fits you well and compare those numbers with any frame before you order.
How to adjust your glasses
Most fit problems come from three places: the temples, the nose pads or a loose screw. You can tighten screws and clean contact points safely at home; bending frames is best left to an optician.
How to choose eyeglasses
Choose eyeglasses in three steps: decide what you need to see, find a frame that fits, then pick lenses that suit both. Style comes last, once the practical choices are settled.
How to measure your PD
PD, or pupillary distance, is the distance in millimetres between the centres of your pupils. It is the number that places the optical centre of each lens in front of each eye, so measure it carefully or ask your optician for it.
How to order glasses online
Ordering takes five steps: choose a frame, choose your prescription type, pick lenses, add your prescription and check out. You can type your prescription, upload a photo of it or send it later.
How to read your prescription
An eyeglass prescription lists sphere, cylinder and axis for each eye, sometimes with ADD, prism and PD. Copy every value exactly as written, including plus and minus signs, and you have everything the lens step needs.
