Understanding the Measurements:

  1. Lens Width (mm):
    • The horizontal width of one lens from edge to edge. A typical range for most people is 48-50mm.
  2. Bridge Width (mm):
    • The distance between the two lenses, which rests on the nose. This is typically between 14mm to 22mm.
  3. Temple Length (mm):
    • The length of the arms (temples) of the glasses that extend behind the ears. Most glasses have temple lengths ranging from 120mm to 145mm.
  4. Frame Width (mm):
    • The total width of the frame from one side to the other. It is the sum of the lens width and bridge width, and this helps determine how the frame will fit on your face.
  5. Recommended Face Width:
    • This is the recommended face width for each frame size. It’s important to choose a frame width that fits comfortably on your face.

How to Measure for Reading Glasses:

  1. Lens Width: Measure the width of one lens of your current reading glasses or pick a lens width that is comfortable for you.
  2. Bridge Width: Measure the distance between the lenses at the bridge or choose one that fits well on your nose.
  3. Temple Length: Measure the length of the temples from the hinge to the ear end. You can also check the length on your existing frames.
  4. Frame Width: Measure the total width of the front of the frame to ensure it suits the width of your face.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I measure for reading glasses?

Measure the width of one lens on your current reading glasses, the distance between the lenses at the bridge, and the temple length from the hinge to the ear end. Then measure the total width of the frame front to make sure it suits the width of your face.

What lens width do most reading glasses have?

A typical lens width for most people is 48mm to 50mm. Bridge widths are usually between 14mm and 22mm, and most temple lengths range from 120mm to 145mm. Frame width is the sum of the lens width and bridge width.

Can I use my current glasses to find my reading glasses size?

Yes. Your existing frames are a good reference. Measure the lens width, bridge width, and temple length on a pair that fits well, or check the numbers printed on them, and compare them with the reading glasses size chart and recommended face width.
