Glasses Nose Bridge Size Explained
- Nose Bridge Size (mm):
- This refers to the width of the bridge that rests on the nose. It is the distance between the two lenses, measured across the nose.
- Bridge size typically ranges from 14mm to 24mm.
- Bridge Shape:
- The shape of the nose bridge (e.g., keyhole, saddle, or straight) can also influence comfort and fit, but the width is the key measurement for sizing.
- Recommended Face Type:
- A narrow bridge is generally suited for people with narrow noses, while wider bridges are better for people with broader or flatter noses.
How to Measure Your Nose Bridge Size:
- Place a ruler on your nose: Using a ruler or measuring tape, measure the width between the inside corners of your eyes, where the lenses will sit.
- Measure across the nose: Measure the distance between the areas where the frames will rest. This is the bridge width.
Key Tips for Choosing the Right Nose Bridge Size:
- If glasses slide down your nose, you might need a smaller or more adjustable bridge.
- If the nose pads are too tight, consider a wider bridge size.
- Make sure the glasses sit comfortably without pinching or feeling loose.
