Small Prescription Sunglasses Size Measurements

Getting Your Frame Width Right

If your frames are too narrow for your face, they will put unnecessary pressure on your temples causing discomfort. A pair that’s too wide can be painful on your ears and fall off your face due to a loose fit. For an ideal fit, look for a frame that is only slightly wider than your face. If you already have a frame that fits well, measure it lengthwise along the front of your frame to find the perfect width.
Finding the Best Temple Length

Finding the right temple length for your small prescription sunglasses is another important step in finding the perfect fit. The temples should curve behind your ears comfortably, and the rest of the arm should reach evenly along your face. This measurement has a bit more flexibility in terms of range compared to the others. Try smaller lengths if you have a small face.
Bridge Width for Small Frame Prescription Sunglasses

You may think bridge width is included in the frame width, but this is a separate measurement that determines how the frame sits on your nose. Your nose is basically the anchor point of your frame. The nose bridge keeps the frame balanced and distributes weight evenly, making your shades comfy to wear.

Which Eyewear Styles Suit Small Faces

Round Small Frame Prescription Sunglasses

The best sunglasses for small faces are on the smaller side themselves — to ensure they don’t overcrowd your face and make it look even smaller. Small round frames make great prescription sunglasses for people with smaller faces.
Semi-Rimless Small Frame Prescription Sunglasses

Semi-rimless frames add visual weight to the top part of your face, and browline frames are a classic and fashionable choice in this frame style. However, if you have a small face, it's a good idea to avoid oversized versions.
Small Square Prescription Sunglasses

Square shaped sunglasses frames are an easy choice for people with round and oval faces. They work best as small prescription sunglasses if they aren’t too thick, so they don’t overpower your facial features.
