If you are Asian, and you need to wear glasses, you already know what we are going to say. Finding glasses that sit on your face comfortably and stylishly can be a real challenge.
Believe it or not, most eyewear was not designed to fit many Asian features. It’s why most Asians, and many people from all other ethnicities, have a difficult time finding eyeglasses and sunglasses that don’t slide down their noses or rest completely on their cheekbones. If eyewear doesn’t sit properly, it can impair vision and even cause headaches or dizziness. That is why it is so important to find the frame that is right for you.
Luckily JCPenney Optical has the widest selection of frames and lenses to choose from. We literally have thousands and thousands to choose from creating an almost endless number of combinations. Our experts will help you find the perfect pair that will fit both your face, and your budget comfortably.
Want eye glasses that will fit your face better? Try low nose bridge, or low bridge glasses that are specifically designed to cater to your unique facial features. The nosepiece on these types of glasses will extend slightly lower than standard glasses. What is your nose bridge? It’s the hard part of your nose where it begins near your forehead, between your eyes. To know if you have a low nose bridge, here is a simple test. Look in the mirror and use your finger to find the top of your nose bridge. Then, notice whether your finger sits above, in-line with, or below your pupils. If it is in-line, or below your pupils, this is an indication you probably have a low nose bridge. If your nose bridge is above your pupils, it is likely that traditional glasses will suffice.
But Who are Low Bridge Glasses For?
Certain people are more likely than others to benefit from low nose bridge glasses. Below we list a number of attributes that might signal that you could benefit from Asian fit glasses.
- Wider Face: Those with wider faces will often have lower nose bridges, and generally struggle to wear normal glasses fit. Their wider faces make traditional frames feel too narrow and generally uncomfortable. The reason the glasses don’t fit right, however, is often that they sit too high on their face.
- Lower Nose Bridge: If your nose bridge is lower than average, consider trying a pair of low bridge glasses.
- Higher Cheekbones: High cheekbones, like a wide face, signal a low nose bridge, and can wreak havoc with the way traditional frames fit. Glasses sitting at the right point on the nose helps prevent the glasses from touching cheeks. For many, glasses touching their cheeks is what causes the discomfort, or dislike for how they look.
- Asian: If you are Asian and have had trouble finding glasses that fit properly in the past, low bridge frames might be the solution you’ve been yearning for.
