Are wide reading glasses designed for people with larger heads or broader faces?

At eyebobs, our wide frames are more than just a statement: designed for discerning readers with larger-than-average noggins, these glasses promise not just a comfortable fit, but an epic one. Keep in mind that if you have a broad face, you most likely have a wide head, and vice versa. Designed for grander skulls and faces with more real estate to them, these bring a whole new meaning to widening your perspective.

How do I determine if I need wide-reading glasses or standard-sized ones?

If you frequently find yourself wondering why most frames put the squeeze on your temples, the circumference of your cranium more than likely corresponds to wide-sized frames. Those with average-sized heads may be able to get away with wearing wide readers to achieve an oversized readers look, but we’d always recommend erring on the side of caution. To determine your precise head size, you’ll want to measure the circumference of your dome, then boogie on over to our Fit Guide to make those numbers sing. Those with heads between 131 mm and 139 mm should wear standard-sized frames, while those with measurements above 140 mm are sitting squarely in wide-sized territory. 

Can I get prescription lenses in wide reading glasses? 

Yes, indeed. You can equip almost any wide-sized frame from our collection with prescription lenses. Go ahead and get wide-eyed over our assortment, find the frame that feels like it was made just for you, and we’ll tailor it to your vision needs. Whether you’re in need of single-vision readers or progressive lenses, our wide-sized glasses guarantee you both crystal clarity and impeccable style. They’re crafted to fit not just your head, but also your individual optical requirements. 

Do wide reading glasses come in different colors and styles?

Have you ever known us to do anything by halves – apart from our stellar selection of half-rims, of course? Our wide array of wide frames offer a kaleidoscope of colors and styles, from classic black and tortoise to avant-garde shades (wait, did someone say purple zebra stripe?). 

Popular frame shapes for wide reading glasses

We’re always partial to a chunky, attention-grabbing square for wide heads, and we have those in spades: Large and In Charge and Guy Normis, for two. For a less in-your-face iteration, Peer Review offers a thinner oversized square with rounded corners. Best-sellers Case Closed and Board Stiff offer up classic rounds, perfect for those wide-headed folk who’d prefer to draw less attention to their facial circumference.
