    I should write a private message to you about a sizing formula used in "the old days" when there were fewer design choices but many sizing options. But I will try here. This method was confirmed to me by a 73 year old optometrist at a shop that specializes in antique eyewear.
    Eyes should appear to be centered or somewhat nearer to the center of the lens. If your eyes appear to be away from the center to the outside, the fit is wrong and looks wrong. Especially true with round lenses. And the frame will obstruct peripheral vision. If your eyes appear off center to the inside, the frame can be ok, especially with rectangular or the fashionable oversized frames.
    Simply stated, your pupilary distance should be less than or equal to the sum of lens width and bridge width. If your pupilary distance is larger than the sum of the two, your eyes will appear to the outside of the frame.
    For example, years ago, I found some really cool tiny round frames at a high-end shop (like yours) and asked to try them on. Their response was, "they don't fit anyone." When tried, they said, "I'll be damned. They fit and look great!" I bought them on the spot. My eyes are perfectly centered in these odd frames.
    My pupilary distance is 69 mm. (68.5 mm actually.)
    The frame is 33-36. The sum equals my pupilary distance exactly.
    My great Grandfather's pre WWI glasses were reglazed last year and also fit perfectly with 40-28 numbers. Again a close to perfect fit.
    My work glasses are 52-16. Again, the sum equals my pupilary distance.
    My newest pair are 53-16. Again, a good fit.
    My sunglasses are 54-20. Somewhat oversized and perfect for sunglasses.
    So, my collection of spectacles have lens sizes from 33-54 mm, and they all fit well.
    Sorry for the long post. I hope it is of use to some people.

      I find your post truly informative. You say the sum of the width of the bridge plus the width of the lens should be approximately equal to the pupillary distance (or a little less). Can you clarify how each frame measurements you provided, which number corresponds to bridge or lens?
      Perhaps I’m reading it wrong but I’ve never seen a bridge measure greater than 18 or so since I only wear mainstream (non antique or vintage).
      Thanks

      @patpatmoomoo5524 It is hard to explain, but I tried. This youtube link shows the exact frame I mentioned. Yes, the measurements are correct, and yes, the bridge measurement is very unusual.
      The lenses are so small that the bridge had to be wider, or the lens centers would be ridiculously close.

    Thanks for the nod to those of us who do not want our glasses to be the first thing everyone notices about us. As someone who has worn glasses for 52 years, I want my glasses to blend in to my style, not be my style. Recommendations for more of these type of frames (preferably in brands that are generally available) would be a great help.

    I just picked up a new pair of glasses and was trawling TH-cam doing some research in to eyewear and looking for advice on adjusting frames (my new pair was sitting high and loose at the arm on one-side and multiple failed attempts to adjust this by Specsaver's staff had me breaking out the hairdryer and sorting it myself).
    Anyway - this is all a long winded way of explaining how I ended up landing on your video.

    Your accent is fantastic… the overall width is key. I’ve looked at what I assumed would fit say a 54/17 frame and it turns out the overall width is something like 131. Meaning it would be too narrow. Best thing to do is take a pair that fits and measure the width. You can’t go by just lenses width and bridge. You know that as a professional, but for anyone reading this.

  • @rayvatutamote7567

    Brilliant video, thank you! Really appreciate you stating the difference between the distance between the lenses and bridge width.
    I struggle to find frames that fit me due to very narrow nose bridge. To give you an example Tom Ford FT5616-B with bridge width of 14 fit me. That is a very narrow bridge width. I can try hundred of glasses and none of then fit well ie they just sit well too close to the eye. I know one of my options are glasses with nose pads but I wonder whether the bridge width still should be reasonably low regardless the nose pads, so that the inner frame is not too close to the eye? The reason I cannot wear any thick frame glasses. I also wonder whether nose pads can be installed in acetate frames that do not oryginally have them on? Most acetate frames have no nose pads. My face is not small so going for small glasses which may have narrower bridge is not gonna work. I feel like I do not have much choice in choosing frames. And I am pretty picky when it comes to frames.
    Would love to see a video on this topic as well as would appreciate a response, thank you. Thank you for making such a great content xx

    The "round" pair of glasses you featured aren't really round at all: they are a panto, or P3 shape. Round glasses are, well, perfectly (or near perfectly) round, whereas the panto shape has a flatter top and a rounder bottom. While they are both historical shapes, the panto shape and the round shape have quite different aesthetics, i/m/h/o. The panto shape you featured is both more common and more conservative than the round shape, which has more of an artistic vibe.

    That's why I always look for total width of frame. Without that measurement everything else is kind of meaningless. Those Reykjavik frames remind me of I.C. Berlin. Never see any love for I.C. Berlin ?

      I do mention them in quite a few videos. I'd say Mykita, RE and IC are in the same tier of minimalistic but modern metal frames. I just think RE is the best overall.

    I am really jealous with me it is a nightmare to choose a frame because with me it isn´t like him. He just put on all kind of frames and it looks fresh with nearly all of them, with me i just can´t find the right size or design. I am still to find a model which i really like to see on my face

    You forgot to mention most important thing. If you have really bad sight (on + side) you can't go with them biiig shapes couse even on 1.74 they will look humongous and really really bad, So you are limited to small round ones, smaller the better. No one mention that. If you have -1 , -2 or +1, +2 your option are unlimited :P

    ive only rcently started wearing glasses and it drives me mental that all they tell you is lens width bridge and temple ,its not enough info ....the amount of pairs that i thought would fit and dont going by lens size is stupid,ive spent a month buying and returning stuff as no shops near me sell what i like .....every manufacturer should list the internal frame width as standard ,cubitts frederick 52 lens are enormous glasses where armani 57" lens sunglasses dont fit me ...to a newbie buyer you would just think oh 57 is huge and 52 wont fit ///the three measurements they list as standard are meaningless because its not a standardised thing ten pairs of glasses can all have 52-21-145 measurements and range from smallish to ginormous

    is there such thing as the too long temples? My optician bends them in order to adjust to my face but then the glasses don't fit in to the case... It's driving me crazy. the temples look crooked after his adjustments

    What do you do if you’re not fantastically good-looking like you are? If you’ve got a massive bulbous nose and no hair, you’ve got no chance of looking gorgeous. This is superficial nonsense that no one needs. You are gorgeous, though.

    After all that frame selection as per face shape, size, hairstyle also has to be maintained as per the glasses, it's the difference between a good look and a disaster

    Actually there is not much useful info here. Nothing about temple length, how to fit the bridge and how to fit the correct frame with. These spectacle factory videos are more sales pitches and fashion advice than "truth"

    • @thespectaclefactory

      This video is purely about 'A' size, which is the most common number people look for when choosing frames.
