Every eyeglass buyer is highly encouraged to measure his or her own head size and nose size before going to a local or online optical store. It is true that some customers do not carry out this task as required. In fact, it is easy for regular people to get a comfortable and fit pair of eyeglasses or sunglasses. In general, eyewear comfort and fit will be mainly determined by the match-up between the frame size and the wearer’s face size. Since regular eyewear products feature a certain degree of flexibility, most customers can adjust to typical items. In typical, a frame size can range from 44 to 52. These sizes are acceptable for most eyewear users. However, there are still XXL eyeglasses, which have extra large frames. A frame size between the above ranges is not enough in a pair of XXL glasses.
It is unsurprising that there are definitely some people who have an oversize face. In most cases, these men are both big and tall. An explanation to the existence of XXL eyeglasses is that it is widely recommended and proven by eye care professionals that the wearer’s face size and the frame size should be approximately in scale. According to this guideline, big and tall men with an unusually large face are strongly encouraged to choose XL glasses. Imagine a small eyewear hanging on a big guy’s face. It can be cute and funny. For this group of customers, it is a necessity to evaluate in detail related frame sizes. This work can not be eliminated as people with a regular face size do.
After measuring personal face size, the nest step is to read the numbers on the temple of a target frame. There are three standard size numbers, explaining respectively the lens width, the bridge size and the temple length. A typical example can be 45-19-145. A frame of these sizes may be feasible for ordinary individuals. But it will be completely infeasible for a big and tall guy. Instead, such a guy will typically need XXL eyeglasses imprinted on the temple 58-20-155.
