How do I order glassesin the right size online? What kind of glassessize fits me anyway? If you have lots of questions, don’t worry. Here are the answers that make all the difference when buying glassesfrom an online shop. First of all, stand in front of a mirror wearing a pair of glassesyou already have and check how the glassestemples (arms) are aligned. If the templesare straight or very slightly angled outwards, then the glassesare just the right size for your face and you should buy your next pair of glassesin the same size. However, if the arms are very angled outwards it’s not ideal, because this means the frame is too small for you. If, on the other hand, the arms almost collapse backwards to fit behind your ears, the frame is too big for you. If the glassesyou already have are the right size, you can easily measure the lens from the rim in the centre of the glassesto the rim on the outside. Be careful not to take the measurement diagonally, at an angle or in any other way, but simply hold the ruler horizontally and determine the so-called lens width. You can use this measurement as a guide for all the brands of glassesoffered in our shop. Whether it’s a Ray-Ban size or an Oakley size doesn’t matter. If you don't have a pair of glassesthat fits or a friend who can lend you their frame, don't worry, just ask Edel-Optics. You can order four or five different models or the same frame in different sizes without prescription lensesand then return them free of charge within 30 days. Once you have found the right size, you can send them back and have your prescription lensesfitted. Alternatively, you can also try the glasseson online. With our 3D Virtual Mirror, you can try on a wide range of models. Either upload a photo of yourself and then the glasseswill be placed on your face in 2D format or turn on your webcam for a 3D fitting. This way, you can easily find your perfect frame in our huge range of brand-name glasses, with or without virtual glassesfitting. Guaranteed!
