VERTICAL
, by Vero Launier, 1 min reading time
We have provided a fourth measurement on most of our item listings (if this listing is missing the vertical number, contact us, we will be happy to provide you with it). The vertical lens measurement is the height of the lens. This measurement is not only important for aesthetics (the look of your glasses) but also in order to give your optician the space to fit in special lenses (such as bifocal or progressive).
Other factors such as frame style might affect the measurements. For example round frames often have smaller lens width and larger nose bridge but might fit someone with average features. Also a thick frame will add bulk to the sizing, so a 52mm lens width with a thin metal frame will fit differently than a 52mm lens width with a thick plastic frame.
