A Guide to Frame Measurements
Finding Your Perfect Frame Size is Easy
Torga has an easy way for you to select a perfectly fitting frame online.
Follow these easy steps below. All you will need is either a pair of spectacles that fit you well, or a ruler.
Option 1: Using an existing pair of glasses
- A pair of spectacles that fits you well is a good starting point.
- Your glasses likely have sizing information printed on the inside of the temple arm
- For example 42-20-145 or 42 🔲 20 - 145.
- The first number is eye width (usually between 38 and 54)
- The second number is nose bridge width (usually between 18 and 22)
- The last number is temple arm length (usually between 130 and 140)
This is how the measurements relate to the size of your glasses:
Usually the most important measurement for your frame sizing is the first number (eye width). Use this number when searching for frames.
Option 2: Measure Yourself using a Ruler
You can measure your face using these three simple steps and a ruler, to get an idea if small, medium or large frames will be suitable for you.
- Hold your ruler horizontally across your face, just below your eyes.
- Measure the distance between your temples in centimetres.
- Check the sizing guide to determine if you need a small, medium or large frame width.
Understanding your Nose bridge size
- Nose bridge is the upper part of the nose, that can be found between the eyes.
- Many Torga frames are available in small, medium or wide nose bridge sizes.
- Women with a petite face size are more comfortable fit with a narrow nose bridge frame
- Asian and African women are more comfortable fit with a wider nose bridge frame.
- Bigger men tend to have a more comfortable fit with a large nose bridge frame.
Final Steps

NOTE: When you are comparing your current spectacles' measurements to that of the Torga frames that you like on our website, remember that you have a leeway of 2-3mm on each measurement, except for the bridge. Stick to a leeway of just 2mm on the bridge.
