What Is the Bridge Size on My Reading Glasses?

Your glasses measurements aren’t complete without the bridge size. One of the most common problems people face when shopping for glasses is finding a bridge that fits well. A bridge that is too narrow can pinch your nose and make the frames sit too high on your face, while a bridge that’s too wide will keep sliding down throughout the day.

The bridge size is the distance between the inner edges of the lenses – basically, the part of the frame that rests on (or over) your nose. In general, getting the bridge size right is more critical for acetate (plastic) frames than for metal ones. Metal frames usually have adjustable nose pads that can be tightened or loosened to fit a range of nose shapes and sizes.
