If you have a larger head, match your glasses to your facial proportions with these key dimensions: Frame Width: Aim for 140 mm–160 mm+, ideally within 10 mm of your temple-to-temple measurement paireyewear.com . Lens Width: Look for 55 mm–60 mm+ lens widths (minimum) reddit.com +15 reddit.com +15 reddit.com +15 . Bridge Width: Choose 18 mm–22 mm for comfort and proper fit. Temple Length: Ensure 145 mm–160 mm for adequate reach behind ears without tightness. Bridge Fit & Pupils: Check that your PD (pupillary distance) aligns with frame size—your pupils should sit in the lens’s optical center. If it overshoots your cheekbones or shifts off-center, the fit isn’t right reddit.com +5 kraywoods.com +5 zennioptical.com +5 reddit.com +7 paireyewear.com +7 kraywoods.com +7 reddit.com +1 zennioptical.com +1 . Material & Shape: Robust frames like acetate or titanium offer structural support; rectangular or aviator shapes flatter fuller faces reddit.com +15 carfia.com +15 reddit.com +15 . Tip: Measure an existing comfortable pair or use a mirror with tape to capture temple-to-temple measurement, then mirror those specs when shopping.

Why it matters: Many "XL" labels stop at ~150 mm, but users often need more. Brands with genuinely wide offerings include Moscot Lemtosh XL (149 mm), Puma (60–62 lens width), XXL, Gucci, Puma, and Salt Optics . You can also explore sun-style frames with clear prescription lenses. For extreme widths (160 mm+), consider custom or boutique makers like Debby Burk.

Why it matters: Some users worry oversized frames misalign vision or cause eyestrain. Oversized frames can still work well—as long as they align your pupils with the optical center and fit snugly. Ill-fitting frames with misaligned PD can cause visual distortions or headaches . Always ensure your eyes are centered in the lens and frames rest evenly on your nose and ears. Our sizing guides and fit tips are designed to prevent these issues before they start.

Why it matters: Many Reddit posts cite stretching over time, particularly for XL wearers (see r/glasses). Use spring hinges or acetate for flexible yet stable structure. Avoid extreme bending—if adjusting temples, do it gently. Store in a hard case and clean with microfiber cloth. Debby Burk’s XL frames are all reinforced and tested to withstand daily use.
