How do I make sure the glasses I that I chose will fit me?

The best way is to make sure your new glasses are the same size as your old glasses. Just take a look at the size of your old glasses, or any eyeglasses or sunglasses that you are comfortable with.

This size should be inscribed on the inside of the temple arms, or on the inside of your nose pads. They should consist of 3 numbers (for example "52-18-135").

In that example, 52mm is the lens width, 18mm is the nose bridge and 135mm is the temple length. When you are searching for your new glasses, just make sure that the lens width and nose bridge are within 1-2mm of your old glasses, and your new Eyewear Magic glasses will fit you great! You’ll be able to wear them every day for many years to come. Also, did you know that you can use our Advanced Search function to narrow down your frame selections?

Lens Width
What is it?
Lens Width is the maximum horizontal distance across two sides of one lens, measured in millimeters.
Rule of Thumb:
A person with a bigger head size should opt between 54-56mm; average head size 51-53mm; small head size 48-50mm. Lens width can go up to 60mm if required. It is recommended that your new frame’s lens width is within 2 mm difference of your old frames. Frames with a lens width measurement larger or smaller by more than 2 mm would still possibly fit you, but they are not likely to fit you as well.

Also, all our rimless glasses’ lens width can be custom-adjusted to fit your need. To do that, simply instruct us by talking to our customer service representatives or leaving a note in “Any Extra Information” when you are placing your order what size you would like us to edge them.
Nose Bridge
What is it?
Nose Bridge refers to the distance between the two lenses of your glasses, measured in millimeters.
Rule of Thumb:
People with tall noses should opt between 20-22mm; average nose 17-19mm; flat nose 14-16mm. It is recommended that your new frame’s nose bridge is within 2 mm difference of your old frames. Frames with a nose bridge measurement larger or smaller by more than 2 mm would still possibly fit you, but they are not likely to fit you as well.
Temple Length
What is it?
The Temple Length refers to the overall length of the temple arm.
Rule of Thumb:
Temple Length is not as important as the Lens Width and the Nose Bridge, because its length established according to the Lens Width and covers most of people’s needs.

"I just wanted to email you guys quickly to tell you how exceptional your service is. I went to an optical store nearby to find some eyeglasses, only to find that I'm looking at $300 to start with, and then I was talking to my friends and they referred me to your site where I spent only $110 to order the same thing. The customer care guy was very friendly and helpful. It is a great pleasure to ...
