Other measurements
If you already own a pair of glasses, you will see some numbers engraved on the inside of the eyewear temple:
The first one is the Model name, then the Lens width and Bridge width. There is usally a third number which represents the Temple Length, which is the measurement in millimeters of the 'arms' of the frame. Sometimes there is also a fourth number which is the Lens Height.
Each of these numbers is measured in mm
What are the bridge and nosepads?
This functional information describes the different types of the bridge and the nosepads
The four possible bridge and nosepads options are:
Hight bridge fit:offers a more secure and comfortable fit for those with a high nose bridge and lower cheekbones. A good choice if the bridge of your nose is above the level of your pupils.
Low bridge fit:offers a more secure and comfortable fit for those with a low nose bridge and higher cheekbones. A good choice if eyewear tends to slide down your nose, sit too low, or press on your temples or cheeks.
Universal fit:this option accommodates most face shapes.
Ajustable nosepads:nosepads that can be widened or narrowed to fit your unique nose shape.
