Finding the perfect pair of prescription glasses can be a challenge for people with wide faces. Many standard frames are simply too narrow, leading to discomfort, pressure on the temples, and an awkward look. That’s where big frame prescription glasses come in. Designed with generous dimensions, sturdy materials, and modern style, these frames are tailored for comfort and confidence.
At SizeGlasses, we specialize in eyewear solutions for plus-size individuals across North America. Whether you’re looking for everyday eyeglasses or prescription sunglasses, we offer high-quality, extra large options that actually fit.
Why Do People with Wide Faces Need Special Prescription Glasses?
Common Fit Problems with Regular Glasses
If you’ve ever tried on regular frames only to find they pinch your temples or sit awkwardly on your face, you’re not alone. Many optical retailers offer “one-size-fits-most” solutions, but these simply don’t work for everyone—especially not for wide or plus-size faces.
Wide face prescription glasses aren’t just scaled-up versions of small frames. They require:
-
Accurate frame width, typically 150mm and above
-
Longer temple arms for better ear support
-
Wide nose bridges to prevent red marks or slipping
Our collection at SizeGlasses includes extra large oversized eyeglasses that address all these issues while maintaining modern style.
What to Look for in Big Frame Prescription Glasses
Frame Size and True Wide Fit
The first rule when shopping for wide face glasses is: don’t settle for frames that only look oversized. Many trendy designs on the market today are labeled "oversized" for fashion, but their actual measurements are still standard.
At SizeGlasses, our frames start at 155mm width, with some models reaching up to 160mm, offering a true oversized fit for broad faces. We provide exact measurements, so there’s no guesswork involved.
Material Quality and Durability
Larger frames need stronger construction. We use premium materials like lightweight titanium, acetate, and TR90 plastic to ensure comfort without sacrificing durability. Wide frames should never feel heavy or slide down your nose.
Lens Customization for Oversized Glasses
Large Lens Diameter for Big Frames
One often-overlooked challenge with oversized prescription glasses is the lens itself. Many optical labs can’t produce prescription lenses with diameters large enough to fit wide frames, especially for higher prescriptions.
At SizeGlasses, we process lenses in our own factory, allowing us to create customized lenses—whether single vision, progressive, or large prescription sunglasses. This gives our customers access to clear vision and perfect fit, no matter how wide their frames.
Stylish Options with Prescription Functionality
Want something fashionable that still meets your vision needs? Our trendy oversized prescription glasses combine on-trend looks with functional features like anti-glare coatings, blue-light filtering, and photochromic transitions. Our wide selection of colors, shapes, and finishes ensures you won’t have to compromise on style.
