Wide Fit Prescription Sunglasses
by Courtney Dryer, OD, May 31, 2025
Wide-fit prescription sunglasses are designed to offer both vision correction and comfort for those with a wider face. The frames are made to prevent the pinching and pressure behind the ears associated with a standard-size frame. Wide-fit prescription sunglasses can be a stylish yet functional solution for individuals who require a larger width for everyday wear.
Wide-fit sunwear options provide clear vision, UV protection, and enhanced comfort.
Wide-fit prescription sunglasses are available in fashionable frame designs and can be ordered with many types of lenses and lens options. Mirrored, tinted, or polarized lenses are perfect for sports, outdoor hobbies, and everyday sun wear.

Wide Fit Sunglasses Frames
Wide-fit prescription sunglasses are for those individuals with a wider face for improved comfort. Wide-fit designs offer a more spacious fit across the temples and bridge of the nose, which reduces pinching and pressure. They are the best option for those who have struggled to find comfortable sunglasses for their visual needs. Wide-fit sunglasses can be ordered with various lens options and are available in many frame styles, from classic to contemporary.
Wide-frame eyeglasses generally have larger measurements in three areas: lens width, bridge width, and temple length.
- Lens Width: For wide-frame glasses, the lens width (or eye size) is usually between 54mm and 60mm, with some styles extending to 62mm or even larger. This is much wider than standard frames, which generally range from 48mm to 52mm.
- Bridge Width: The bridge width for wide frames is between 18mm and 22mm to accommodate a broader nose. This helps distribute the weight comfortably and ensures a stable fit without pinching.
- Temple Length: The temple on wide-frame glasses is typically between 145mm and 155mm long to sit comfortably around wider faces. In comparison, standard temple lengths usually range from 135mm to 145mm.
These dimensions can vary depending on the brand and style, but most wide-fit glasses will fall within these ranges.
In addition to their comfortable fit, wide-fit prescription sunglasses provide UV protection by protecting your eyes from harmful sun exposure. Glasses wearers no longer must choose between clear vision and eye safety; they can have both. They can be customized for your specific lens prescription, including single-vision, bifocal, or progressive. Wide-fit prescription sunglasses are the perfect accessory for those who desire comfort, UV eye protection, and style.
High-Quality Lenses
At Overnight Glasses, we deliver high-quality lenses with every pair of wide-fit prescription sunglasses. High-quality lenses can be ordered for any prescription lens, including single vision, bifocals, no-line bifocals, or progressive lenses. Overnight Glasses will deliver easy-to-clean lenses with UV protection, a scratch-resistant treatment, and a premium anti-glare coating to reduce glare and reflections that may be present from digital devices or lights at night. High-quality sunglasses can be ordered with mirrored, polarized, or tinted lenses.
If you have a higher prescription, we recommend a high-index material for thinner, lighter lenses. You can also order your rimless aviators with Trivex HD for improved visual clarity. Trivex lenses are light, shatter-proof, and available for most eyeglass prescriptions. They are also preferable over polycarbonate for outdoor activities or certain impact sports.

How to Choose the Right Pair of Wide-Fit Sunglasses
You should consider several key factors, including your face shape, frame shape & size, material & fit, and personal style when choosing a pair of wide-fit prescription sunglasses.
- Face Shape: Use our virtual try-on to identify your face shape and select a frame that best enhances your features. If you have an oval or round face, square lenses can add balance by adding definition and hard angles. If your face is more rectangular, consider a rounder shape.
- Frame Size and Fit: Ensure the frame is wide enough by using our virtual try-on. The frame should be proportionate to your face—not too wide or too narrow. The bridge should sit comfortably on your nose, and the temples should fit securely behind your ears without pinching or putting pressure on your skull. You may want to look at the frame measurements on your current frame to compare them with the size of the frames you are considering.
- Personal Style and Material: Consider how the frame shape and style will match your style. Wide-fit sunglasses are available in many materials and shapes and can be ordered with mirrored lenses for an updated, contemporary style.
