When buying sunglasses, choosing the lenses that guarantee the highest degree of protection and preventing glare does not mean at all to pay huge sums, as good glasses are at an affordable price and most of the time the additional cost is due to the distinctive and exclusive design, the expensive brand or the materials from which the frame of the glasses is made.
5 – The size and shape of the eyeglass frame
When it comes to buying sunglasses, the options are very many and varied, depending on the shape of the frame and its size, and it all depends on choosing the right frame for your face shape.

- Eye size
It is the lens distance, i.e. the distance between the inner and outer corner of only one lens, which must cover your entire eye and surround it with a somewhat equal distance from all sides, and the lens distance is usually 40-60 millimeters.
- Bridge size measurement
The eyeglass bridge is the distance between the two inner corners of the eyeglass lenses, and you should choose it so that it is suitable for the glasses to rest on your nose, and is usually between 14 – 24 millimeters.
- Temple size arm
It is the length of the eyeglasses arm, which must be proportional to the dimension of your ear so that the glasses are placed and lean on, and this distance usually ranges between 120-150 millimeters.
