FAQs

What are global or wide-fit sunglasses?

Global or wide-fit sunglasses, also known as low-bridge fit or alternative fit, are designed to accommodate faces with a wider face shape, lower nose bridge, and/or higher cheekbones. They are designed with deeper nose pads to ensure the frames sit comfortably on the nose and cheeks without slipping and the frame width is wider to accommodate those with larger facial proportions.

How are global fit sunglasses different from standard fit sunglasses?

Standard-fit sunglasses are often designed for faces with a higher nose bridge, which may not sit comfortably on people with flatter facial profiles. Global fit sunglasses address these issues with specific modifications, including: Nose pads: They often have deeper, higher, and/or adjustable nose pads. Bridge width: The bridge is lower and wider to prevent slipping. Frame curvature: The frame has a flatter base curve to prevent it from resting on the cheeks. Temple: The temple or sunglass arms are longer and more curved to provide a secure fit without pinching.

Do I need global or wide-fit sunglasses?

You may benefit from global or wide-fit sunglasses if you have a low nose bridge, high cheekbones, or a wider face. Subtle cues that global or wide-Fit sunglasses might be right for you include: your glasses slide down your nose, the frames rest on your cheeks or leave marks, your eyelashes touch the lenses, or the frames feel tight and cause pressure behind your ears or on your temples.

Are "low-bridge fit" and "global fit" the same?

Yes, the terms "low-bridge fit," "global fit," and "alternative fit" are often used interchangeably to describe sunglasses designed for a specific facial profile. They are all made to accommodate faces with features like a flatter nose bridge, high cheekbones, and a wider head shape. The term "low-bridge fit" is simply a more descriptive name for this type of frame, as it directly refers to the main facial feature it is designed to fit.

How can I measure my face to find the right size?

You can measure your face in a few ways to find the right fit: Use a credit card: Hold a credit card vertically against the centre of your nose. If the edge of the card aligns with the outer edge of your eye, a standard-size lens is a good fit. If it goes past your eye, you might need a smaller frame, and if it doesn't reach, a larger one. Measure an old pair: You can find the lens width, bridge width, and temple length (in millimetres) printed on the inside of the temple arm of your current glasses. This will help you find a new pair with similar dimensions. Measure your face directly: You can use a ruler to measure the distance between your temples to find a suitable frame width.
