 Why Sizing Matters when Purchasing Prescription Safety Glasses

On your own, finding prescription safety glasses can be a daunting endeavor. When they don’t account for a specific face size, the procedure gets considerably more difficult. In the past, this was a very frequent occurrence with prescription safety glasses, but that is no longer the case. In reality, VS Eyewear carries a wide selection of prescription safety glasses that fit a number of facial shapes.

We’ll be talking about how size matter with buying prescription safety glasses can be challenging if you have a smaller face in this article. We’ll discuss the value of wearing the proper size prescription safety glasses while also offering top recommendations that offer security and protection.

Why size matters with Prescription Safety Glasses

If you have a problem buying prescription safety glasses because of the sizing, don’t worry. You’re actually in good company as it is a pretty common problem. As common as it is, it is still something that needs to be acknowledged as it is extremely important to have the right size safety glasses.  The most obvious reason is safety. When safety glasses are too big, they can slide from the face during tasks, which can cause injuries.

As a person needs to wear them for longer periods of time for work or other projects, they deserve a secure, comfortable fit that will provide all-day protection. That being said, let’s get into some of these high quality prescription safety glasses that we recommend for smaller faces.

If you have glasses already, your frame size is usually stamped somewhere on the frame – usually inside one of the temples. Other places you may look are along the nose pad, across the bridge, or sometimes on the ear piece.

In most cases a person’s eyeglass frame is smaller than their sunglass frames. If the sunglass frame is a wrapped frame (has a curve to it) then usually the frame will fit a more wide-range of people.

How to Determine Sizing:

Size                                                                              Eye Size      Bridge Size      Temple Size
Petite Female                                                               46-48            16-18                130-135
Average Female/Small Male                                48-50             17-20                135-140
Average Male/Large Female                                 50-52             17-20                135-145
Large Male                                                                   52-58              18-22               140-150

  • Eye Size – refers to the horizontal width in millimeters of one of the frame’s lenses.
     
  • Bridge Size – measurement is the distance in millimeters between the two lenses. It is measured between the two closest points of the two lenses.
     
  • Temple Size – is measured along the length of the temple, from one end to the other, including the bend.
     
  • Vertical Size (B) – refers to the vertical height of an eyeglasses lens, and is measured from the tip to the bottom of the lens aperture of the frame. The measurements are taken from a horizontal line intersecting with the top of the lens, to the horizontal line intersecting with the bottom edge of the lens. The B measurement is only important when ordering multifocal lenses
