Also known as chassis or the base, a frame front is the largest part of an eyewear. It is made with different materials and combinations like Acetate, TR 90, Titanium, Wood, Nylon etc.

LENSES

Lenses are usually made with glass, plastic, or polycarbonate and are fitted into the frame. These may come with coatings like the anti-reflective coating to reduce eye strain or prevent Sun-glare.

TEMPLES

Temples are the long arms attached to the frame with hinges/screws, usually with a little bent at the tips to fit well behind the ears. The frame size is commonly mentioned on the temple insides.

FRAME SIZES

Eyeglass frames are broadly divided into 3 size categories- Small, Medium & Large. To determine what fits you, either keep your prescriptions handy or look on the insides your old frame temples for the exact numeric size specifications.

Frame size is a combination of numeric values usually represented in sets e.g. 53-18-140 known as the eye size, bridge size & temple size respectively.
