How eyewear is measured
48 - 17 - 136
Understand where the frame measurements come from
Five minutes here is the difference between a frame that disappears on your face and one that goes back in the post. It is also the single best use of your time before you order.
The three numbers
Printed inside the left temple of almost every pair of glasses ever made, and ours read the same way. Our AIRBORNE is 48-17-136.
| Number | What it is | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| First — 48 | Lens width in millimetres, across one lens at its widest point | Sets the overall scale of the frame on your face |
| Second — 17 | Bridge width in millimetres, the gap between the two lenses | Decides whether they sit on your nose or slide down it |
| Third — 136 | Temple length in millimetres, hinge to tip along the arm | Decides whether they pinch behind the ear or slip forward |
Find your size in sixty seconds
The fastest reliable method uses a pair you already own and like. Take the three numbers printed inside its left temple and compare them with the table below. Anything within 2mm on lens width and 1mm on bridge will sit on your face much the same way.
No numbers printed inside your pair? Photograph yourself wearing it, straight on, and send it to us. We'll tell you which of ours will work.
Our frames, measured from largest to smallest
| Frame | Lens · Bridge · Temple | Reads as |
|---|---|---|
| MKII | 59 · 16 · 165 | Our largest frame. Wide lens, long arm, full coverage. |
| FLIGHTLINE | 54 · 16 · 140 | Large lens on a standard arm. Generous without being oversized. |
| FOXWIRE | 48 · 19 · 145 | Medium lens, wide bridge, long arm. Suits a higher nose bridge. |
| AIRBORNE | 48 · 17 · 136 | Middle of the range on every measure. The safest first buy. |
| ONE ZERO | 47 · 22 · 145 | Widest bridge in the range. The one to try if frames usually sit low on your nose. |
| SLIPSTREAM | 47 · 15 · 138 | Narrow bridge. Sits close, good on a slimmer face. |
| PHANTOM | 45 · 18 · 142 | Compact lens, long arm. Understated on the face. |
| VORTEX | 45 · 20 · 133 | Our smallest frame. Short arm, wide bridge, close fit. |
All measurements in millimetres. Every Lite, Air, Pro and Max build of a frame shares the same measurements. Only the lens changes.
What a correct fit looks like
- The frame front is as wide as your face, or a millimetre or two wider. Not narrower.
- Your eyes sit centred in the lenses. Not high, not toward the nose.
- The frame rests on the bridge of your nose and the tops of your ears. Never on your cheeks.
- Nothing touches your eyelashes when you blink.
- Look down sharply and they stay put. Shake your head and they stay put.
- No red marks behind the ears or either side of the nose after twenty minutes.
If it's close but not perfect
Temple arms and nose pads can be adjusted, by us or an authorised partner. Don't heat and bend a frame yourself. See Product Care.
Still not sure
Send a straight-on photograph of your face to support@aerospherevision.com and we'll tell you which frames will work. It costs us a minute and saves you a return.
And if the fit is wrong when it arrives, a Lite pair can go back within 14 days for any reason at all. That's what the fit guarantee is for, and it's why we suggest starting there. See Returns & Exchanges.
