How to Choose the Best Fit Prescription Eyeglasses Online


Many of us wonder if the glasses purchase online will fit or not or how the product would be once like the lens thickness and we do not opt not to buy online though we get the best price as compared to the local store. But by keeping few thing in mind and doing your home work well will definitely solve the problem and you can buy the same glasses at the best available price.

Frame Size:

Know the frame size for your face is the most important aspect of purchasing glasses online. Many people suggest that the size of the spectacle frames can be taken from the inside of the left or right temple arm however this will only give you the basic size of the frame like the Lens width, bridge width and the temple arm size. But the size that is required to know the best fit glasses is the total width of the frame. Total width of the frame is actually the size of the forehead. You will be able to find similar frames with the basic size that is of lens width, bridge and the temple arm however the frames could be of kids since you will not be able to try the glasses and hence these glasses will not fit your face.

To measure the total size of the frame you will need a millimeter ruler and a pair of glasses that fits you. Now place the ruler at the temple near the rim of the frame and make sure that the zero is placed at the inside of the temple arm. Now take the reading at the inside of the temple arm of the other side it should be approximately 135mm for an adult and for kids it will be around 110-120 mm.

Once you note the total width of the frames you may note the size on a piece of paper for your reference and then you can search for the frames online which has a total with around same value. If there is a difference of + - 5 mm the frames will fit. Once you find a fame with the similar total width you can match the other basic frame size.
