When you look at the inside of your eyeglass frames, you’ll see three numbers: The bridge width is the distance between one lens (inside of the frame) to the other lens inside the rim. Unlike over-the-counter readers or sunglasses, daily eyewear should be fitted by several measurements, including a bridge measurement and the right lens height. The reason why your glasses continually slip down, or conversely, the reason why they feel like they are squeezing your nasal cavities closed, is because the bridge on your particular frame size isn’t properly fitted. In just five minutes of reading, you’ll be able to fit glasses better than an optician and dole out unrequested safety tips to your unsuspecting friends. While we’re at it, the team here at Stoggles (because that’s where you’ve landed in your internet search) will drop some serious knowledge about eye safety that you probably haven’t considered. In this informational article, we’ll cover how to get the perfect fit so that you never experience eyeglass slippage again. Bored at your desk?
