To ensure that your glasses can fit properly on your face, there are many things you can do. One of the important things is to measure your nose bridge. Your nose bridge is an integral part of obtaining the proper measurements for your glasses. However, how to measure nose bridge for glasses? So, in this post, we will show you how to measure nose bridge for glasses.
How to Measure Nose Bridge for Glasses?
First, let’s learn some basic information about your nose bridge and how your glasses sit on your nose bridge. Ultimately, your glasses should sit on your nose without any pinching. There are two subpar scenarios. If the bridge of your glasses is too small, your glasses will pinch and they will be sitting too high on your nose. On the contrary, if the bridge of your glasses is too large, the glasses will slide down your nose.
So, you can know that you will feel some discomfort if the bridge of your glasses doesn’t comfortably fit. If you have the correct bridge fit for your glasses, you can move your head around and even wiggle your head from side to side without causing your glasses to fall or slide up or down.
So, how to measure nose bridge for glasses? Bridge width is commonly known as the distance between the lenses from inside of the rim across the frame. You can find the bridge width on the side of the frame measurements and it is usually the middle(second) number. If there are no measurements on the side of the frames, you can choose to measure the bridge width by yourself.
To do that, you need to prepare a ruler or a tape first. Then measure the part that goes across the bridge of your nose. If the bridge is below or at the level of your pupils, it is safe to say that you have a low bridge size. In general, a low bridge size is from approximately 16 to 18. On the other hand, if your bridge is above your pupils or it is wider than average, your bridge size will be larger, approximately 19 to 21. After that, you can know the bridge width and know if the glasses can fit on your nose comfortably.
