What is the Width of Wide Glasses?
According to the provided reference, wide glasses typically have a lens width of 56mm and above.
The categorization of glasses as "wide" is often related to the face size they are designed to fit comfortably. The reference defines face size based on the temple-to-temple measurement.
- Wide Face Size: Defined as over 139mm (measured from temple to temple).
Glasses sized for a wide face are classified as "Wide" and are designed with specific dimensions, including lens width and arm length, to ensure a proper fit for individuals with wider faces. Based on the information from the reference:
- Lens Width for Wide Glasses: 56mm and above.
- Arm Length for Wide Glasses: 150mm or above.
These measurements help ensure that the glasses provide adequate coverage and sit comfortably without being too narrow or too wide for the face shape. The lens width is a significant factor contributing to the overall width of the glasses frame.
Glasses Size Guidelines
The reference provides a helpful chart correlating face size measurements with recommended glasses dimensions:
| Face Size (Temple to Temple Measurement) | Lens Width | Arm Length |
|---|---|---|
| Narrow (less than 129mm) | 50mm and under | 135mm-140mm |
| Medium (130mm-139mm) | 51mm-55mm | 140mm-145mm |
| Wide (over 139mm) | 56mm and above | 150mm or above |
Selecting glasses with the correct width is essential for both comfort and aesthetic appearance. Glasses that are too narrow may cause discomfort or pinch, while those that are too wide might slide down or look disproportionate on the face.
