How Do I Know If I Need Extra-Wide Glasses?
If you're shopping for your first pair of corrective eyeglasses, you may not know how glasses should look and feel. Using our Virtual Try-On is a great way to make sure you like the style of a frame, but the fit is largely a matter of comfort. If your frames feel tight or press against your temples, you should consider wider glasses. Your eyes will appear less centered in the lenses of too-small eyewear, and because of how glasses are made, your vision may also be blurry.

How Should Glasses Frames Fit?
