Spectacles
9 Answers
I'm due an eye test soon - usually go to Specsavers - just wondering can you get spectacles to fit your face as the ones I am wearing (about 3 years old) just don't fit.
I recall asking if I could get them fitted but the receptionist said one fits all. Is that correct or would I be better going to an independent optician.
Thanks

The measurements include arm length so the glasses sit comfortably on your ears and don't slide off or protrude too far behind your ears; lens width; bridge with so that your nose isn't pinched and your glasses stay put; lens height so the glasses don't cover your eyebrows or sit on your cheeks.
The frames have the sizes stamped on the arms. My wife's have 52 16 135, telling me that the lens diameter is 52mm; the bridge width is 16mm and the arm length is 135mm
