Choose a frame size before adding it.
The frame most people start with. A single piece of 1.2 mm stainless wire forms the rims and the bridge, the temples are the same wire with acetate tips, and there is nothing printed on any of it. It is light enough to forget and plain enough to glaze with anything from a thin single vision lens to a varifocal.
Thin wire bends if it is sat on or pushed into a bag without a case. Bent wire can be straightened by an optician but it will never be quite as true as it left us. Use the case.

Worn first. Six of us wore this frame daily for a month before it was listed. The weight and the hinge type above are what we measured, not what the supplier told us.

Measured my old pair as the fit guide said, ordered the matching size, and it sat right without a visit to the optician for bending. The weight on the page was the weight on my kitchen scales.
Second frame. The first was glazed by my optician without any fuss - she liked that the demo lens was already the right shape.
Exactly as described, including the part about the coating smudging. It does. The cloth set sorted it, but I would have liked that in bigger letters.
Look inside the temple of a pair you own. The first number is the lens width; match it to the nearest size here. If there is nothing written there, measure the width of one lens with a ruler.
| Size | Lens width | Total frame width | Face width, temple to temple |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | 47 mm | about 128 mm | under 132 mm |
| M | 50 mm | about 134 mm | 132–140 mm |
| L | 53 mm | about 140 mm | over 140 mm |
Bridge and temple length do not change between sizes on any frame here.
