    Size & Measurement Guide Measurement Guide

    Here are the three standard sizes we offer at eyebobs. You will see there are distinct icons associated with each size. Each size is associated with the width of the frame itself.

    • N

      Narrow

      less than 130mm wide

    • A

      Average

      131mm to 139mm wide

    • W

      Wide

      more than 140mm wide

    Frame width is the primary way we determine fit. It’s the horizontal diameter of the entire frame width.

    *Note that you won’t find this number on your glasses.

    Other Technical measurements

    Like most brands of glasses, the measurements of eyebobs glasses can be found on the inside of the temple arm. The first number indicates the lens width (46mm) and the second number is the bridge (23mm). If you already have a pair of glasses you like, you can use those measurements as a reference.

    Lens Width

    The horizontal diameter of one lens

    Lens height

    The vertical diameter of one lens

    Bridge Width

    The width of the bridge section

    Temple Length

    The length of the entire temple arm, from the front of the frame to the tip

    Our Story.

    Drugstores were full of cheap readers and optical retailers carried expensive designer frames, but there were no options in the gulf between. Enter eyebobs.

    Our Difference.

    We painstakingly select the very best materials, like luxury acetate, comfortable spring hinges, and best-in-class, optical quality lenses.

    Our Promise.

    We won’t take “meh” for an answer. If your life hasn’t been changed by one of our frames, our job has yet to be done.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Will an oval frame suit my face?
    An oval frame suits you if you have a strong jawline or high cheekbones, because its curves soften those angles. If your face is already round, a square or rectangular frame will suit you better.
    What is the difference between an oval frame and a round one?
    An oval lens is wider and more oblong than a round lens. A round lens is about as tall as it is wide, which gives it more of a statement look. If you want something versatile with a little personality, try an oval frame like Ahead of the Curve.
    I have never worn readers. What strength do I start with?
    While most people use readers between +1.00 and +2.50 diopters in strength, the strength you need will depend on your eyesight. Our reader strength test is a printed chart you can read and find the right strength for you.
    Can I change the lenses later without buying the frame again?
    Yes, if you want a new reader strength, blue-light, or any other new lens, we offer replacements. Follow the instructions on our Lens Replacements page to get started.
