Also known as the total frame width or temple-to-temple width, is an essential measurement that indicates the total width of the frame from one end to the other. It is typically measured horizontally across the front of the frame, including both lenses and the bridge.
Finding the right frame width is crucial to ensure that the eyewear fits the individual's face comfortably and securely. If the frame width is too narrow, the temples may feel tight or uncomfortable behind the ears. On the other hand, if the frame width is too wide, the glasses may constantly slide down the nose and not sit properly on the face.
