Glasses for your face shape
Frames look best when they balance your face. Here are the five face shapes we see most at our Arumbakkam store, how to spot yours, and frames from our collection that suit each one. Face shape is a guide, not a rule: the right size matters more.
Not sure of your shape? Our camera try-on measures your face on your phone (nothing is uploaded) and shows the frames that suit you first.

Size matters more than shape
52 □ 18 – 140 lens · bridge · arm (mm)
- The numbers on the inside of the arm are the lens width, the bridge between the lenses and the arm length.
- If your current glasses fit well, choose frames with the same numbers (a few mm either way is fine).
- The frame should be about as wide as your face, with your eyes near the centre of each lens.
- It should rest on your nose without pinching and not slide down when you look down.
Questions
How do I find my face shape?
Pull your hair back and look straight into a mirror or your phone camera. Compare the width of your forehead, cheekbones and jaw, and the length of your face. Or open our virtual try-on: it measures your face with the camera (nothing is uploaded) and shows the frames that suit you first.
Is face shape the only thing that matters?
No. Face shape is a guide, not a rule. The right size matters more: the frame should be about as wide as your face, your eyes should sit near the centre of each lens, and it should rest on your nose without pinching. Try more than one style.
What do the numbers on the frame arm mean?
Numbers like 52□18-140 are the lens width (52 mm), the bridge between the lenses (18 mm) and the arm length (140 mm). If your current glasses fit well, match those numbers.
Can I try the frames before buying?
Yes. Try them on your face with the camera at lenzkare.com/virtual-try-on, visit our store in Arumbakkam, or book a home eye test in Chennai and our optometrist brings frames to try.
