Lens depth
Changes how much visual space the frame creates around the eyes.
Bridge fit
Controls where the frame sits and whether it feels stable.
Visual weight
Adjusts how much the frame leads your overall expression.

Read guideCommon questions
What glasses look best on round face?
Start with frames that support proportion, contour, focus, and expression. Use the dimensions above to compare which direction adds the most clarity for your features.
Should frame width match round face?
Frame width should usually sit close to the widest practical point of the face. Slightly wider or narrower can both work depending on the overall fit and visual weight.
Do women, men, and unisex styles use the same rules?
The fit principles stay consistent, but the images and frame directions change by audience to match common preferences and styling references.
Is frame shape more important than fit?
No. Shape gives the style direction, while width, bridge fit, lens depth, and visual weight decide whether the frame actually looks right on the face.
