You, Framed Perfectly
Your face is a work of art—it’s only fitting that you find the perfect glasses to frame it!
At Eye Rx, our certified opticians will work closely with you to help you find the perfect frames that fit your lifestyle and your unique personality.
The Perfect Fit
Like the characters in Cinderella, we know how tough it can be to find the perfect fit! Here’s a checklist that we’ll go through to ensure your glasses fit your face perfectly (and won’t fall off as you’re running down ballroom steps at midnight).
Frame Size
A well-fitting frame should have no more than a finger’s width of space between the arms and your temple, and they should not rest on your cheeks or touch your eyebrows.
Bridge or Nose Piece
The bridge or nose piece of your frames should fit securely and comfortably. This keeps your glasses stable and helps ensure that they do not slip throughout the day. Nose pieces are adjustable, so your optician can always make changes if your frames are not resting comfortably.
Temples
The arms of your frames should reach your ears before they begin to curve downwards. This helps ensure your glasses do not slip throughout the day.
Pupil Position
Your pupils should line up with the center of your glasses to provide you with the best vision. Having your pupils centered in your lenses is particularly important for patients with astigmatism, progressive glasses, or bifocals.
Are Your Current Glasses Fitting Less than Perfectly?
Frames that pinch your nose, hurt your ears, or frequently slip down your face can be uncomfortable and bothersome. If your current glasses are not fitting properly, we would love to take a look at them and suggest alternatives or adjustments during your next appointment or the next time you drop by one of our offices.
To schedule a frame fitting, or browse our selection of stylish frames, give us a call at our Chevy Chase, MD, office or our Washington, DC, office.

Nannini
Evolution starts with a simple organism that becomes the foundation from which new functions begin to grow, ever-increasing in complexity. This foundation for us was Giorgio Nannini, who in 1954 began to study and produce high tech glasses for car and motorcycle racers. Later he focused his studies on developing high tech and nearly indestructible glasses for skiing and sailing.
