Eyeglasses Fit
Eyeglasses fit begins with “Do you like the way the prescription glasses look on your face?” If you like the way the eyeglasses look on your face, and the frames are comfortable, then you will have perfect vision and you don’t need to do anything else. If the glasses are not comfortable or are slightly crooked your vision could be impacted, an optical professional can make minor adjustments to the bridge, nosepads, and temples to customize the eyewear to the uniqueness of your face. If you have a stronger prescription, we strongly recommend that you have your eyeglasses fitted by an eyewear professional.

Finding The Right Size Eyeglasses For You
The easiest and fastest way to find the right size prescription glasses online for you to wear is to use your current glasses as a benchmark. Once you know the size of your current glasses, you have a frame of reference for a new pair of glasses. So let’s say for example that your glasses have this size: 50-20-145. You can now use the Advanced Search function to search for eyeglasses with a similar size. When you do the search, search the eye size range 49-51, and search the bridge range 18-22, and do not search the temple size. Temple size is really not important except in very special cases. Searching a range of sizes is important because it vastly increases the number of results you will get, and also the difference in sizes will be almost unnoticeable compared to your current eyeglasses. After this, you can easily buy glasses online, or reading glasses, or whatever you need.

How To Measure Glasses Frame Size
There are two ways to measure eyeglasses frame size:
1) Read the tiny lettering on the inside of your glasses. Sometimes the lettering has worn off, or it is too small for you to see even with a magnifying glass. In which case you’ll need to
2) Measure your glasses with a millimeter ruler. The eye size is measured from one side of the lens to the other, horizontally, at the widest points. The bridge size is the distance between the lenses at the closest point. The temple size is measured from the tip to the hinge, including the bend.
Almost all eyeglass frames are designed so they can be adjusted. You can take your eyeglass frames to a local optical professional or vision center for an adjustment or read more about adjusting your eyeglasses.
Try On Glasses
Eyeglasses.com pioneered the Virtual Try On VTO system for prescription glasses on the internet with two patents issued in 2003. You can use the virtual try on system on this website by looking for the VTO Icon. About half of the frames in our catalog have VTO images, and you can try those by going to the product detail page. There is a model wearing the eyeglasses, but through the application on that page you can upload your own photo – so easy!
The great feature about this system is that after you input your pupillary distance measurement, the system shows you an accurate representation of the size of the eyeglasses frames on your own face. Unlike a shirt that you cannot change to fit your body, glasses can be adjusted to fit your face.
Glasses Frames And Your Face Shape
Facial coloring and face shape are two important factors to consider when choosing appropriate prescription glasses frames. The first step is to determine your face shape (oval, round, rectangular, etc). Frame shapes can be used to accentuate or de-accentuate your facial features, depending on how you choose to express your personality. For example, if your face is basically round, round glasses would reinforce that look, and rectangular glasses would reduce the roundness of your face. Frame coloring works the same way; you choose the frame color to either match or contrast with skin and hair tone, eye color, jewelry, and clothing colors. The degree to which you match or contrast will contribute to the expression of your personality and your look.
Eyeglasses For Face Shape
The shape of your eyeglasses frames can complement the shape of your face. If you want a new pair of designer frames, then your new glasses should complement your face. To understand how eyeglasses shapes can affect your face, begin by understanding the fundamentals of face shape. While most faces are a combination of shapes and angles, there are six basic face shapes. Below are descriptions of these face shapes and guidelines for which type of glasses frames work well for each.
Round Face
A round face shape has curvalinear lines with the width and length in the same proportions and no angles. Your goal is to make the face appear longer and thinner. Look for angular, narrow glasses frames that will lengthen the face; high or mid-height temples, which help create a longer profile; a clear bridge that widens the eyes; colored temples to add width; and order glasses frames that are wider than they are deep, such as an octagonal shape.
Square Face
A square face shape is characterized by a strong jaw line and a broad forehead – the face width and length are in the same proportions. Your goal should be to make the face look longer and soften the angles. Look for curvilinear, narrow style glasses that soften facial angles; glasses frames that are wider than the widest part of the face; eyeglasses that have more width than depth; narrow oval glasses are an excellent choice.
Oval Face
The oval face shape is considered to be the ideal shape because of its balanced proportions. The oval face is neither curvalinear nor angular. Your goal should be to keep the oval’s natural balance. Look for glasses frames that are as wide as, or wider than, the broadest part of the face. Look for almond or walnut-shaped glasses frames that are neither too deep nor too narrow so that they do not upset facial balance.
Oblong Face
The oblong face shape is longer than it is wide and is characterized by a long, straight cheek line and sometimes a longer nose Your goal should be to make the face appear shorter and more balanced. Look for glasses frames that have top-to-bottom depth such as rounder panto or P-3 shapes; decorative or contrasting temples that can add width to the face; a low bridge to shorten the nose.
Diamond Face Shape
Diamond-shaped faces are narrow at the eyeline and the jawline – cheekbones are frequently high and dramatic. The diamond is the rarest face shape. Your goal should be to highlight the eyes and bring out the cheekbones. Look for glasses frames that have detailing or distinctive browlines. Rimless frames, ovals or cat-eyes are all excellent choices.
Base-Up Triangle Face Shape
The base-up triangle face shape has a very wide top third and small bottom third. Your goal should be to minimize the width of the top half of the face. Look for glasses frames that are wider at the bottom half of the frame. Very light colored and materials are effective, and rimless styles are an excellent choice.
Adjusting Eyeglasses
To adjust glasses frames, it is helpful to know all about frame parts. Glasses frames are designed to be adjusted in many different ways. You can make some adjustments at home, but take great care, and read our article beforehand.
Eyeglasses Types, Features, and Miscellanea

Eyeglasses Materials
Eyeglasses are made in a variety of materials, from high quality titanium to vinyl. If you want to learn more, read our article on eyeglasses frame materials.

Vision Insurance Companies
For prescription eyewear brands and accessories, we accept vision plans from many of the leading providers such as United Health Care, VSP, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Eyemed, and many more. The same goes for your HSA/FSA dollars, which you can use to reduce the costs of your eyewear. Your personal benefits information can be determined by calling your insurer; California residents can meet additional eligibility criteria.
How to Use Your Vision Insurance Benefits
Insurance providers for eyewear brands range from supplemental vision benefits plans offered by your employer, to independent plans that users with a vision impaired profile can purchase outside of your employer’s plan. In most cases, you can get your eye exams in-network from an eye doctor focused on your eye health, and your insurance provider will offer an out of network benefit for your eyewear.
Once users have submitted their personal information and confirmed their insurance eligibility, you can submit the claim form directly to your insurance provider. To obtain insurance benefits after your eye exam, there will be a valid prescription required, your birth date, and a valid zip code required. Unfortunately, when you try to use your vision insurance at most optical stores, you will never have zero hidden fees, because prescription eyewear is how they make their profit.
A regular visit to an eye care professional is important for all people, but especially for patients with tunnel vision, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, degrading eyesight, accessibility issues, and any other vision problem.
Out of Network Benefits
Contact your insurance company to find out how to use your out of network benefits for your pair of eyewear to get the best vision. Most vision insurance plans offered by insurance company have an out of network benefit. Eyeglasses.com does not have a California finance lender license. Also we do not sell any contact lens products, because contact lenses are a completely different type of vision aid. We do however offer a free shipping service on all our orders to most places in the United States. If you have special needs, just contact our customer service team for help. Read more in our article about Vision Insurance Benefits.
