SportRx Frame Width™

135mm

SportRx Frame Width™ (SFW) is the measurement our Sports Opticians use to find the most accurate fit possible. Unlike most eyewear measurements that have little to do with fit, SFW serves as an indicator for how well a frame or goggle will fit your face.

DETERMINING YOUR SFW

Use Eyeglasses and Not Sunglasses

Using flatter eyeglasses makes for a more accurate measurement. It takes a bit more finesse with wrapped sunglasses to get an accurate SFW measurement.

Have more than one pair?

It never hurts to have more than one 'frame' of reference! If you have more than one pair that you love, you can measure multiple pairs and get an average.

Make sure the glasses fit!

Since we're using your glasses as a template for ideal fit, make sure they're a pair that are comfortable: not too wide, not too narrow. A quick glance in the mirror will show if the frames spread too far past the edges of your face or seem to 'pinch' it.

How/What do I measure?

Measure with the temples opened out fully. Aim for right behind the hinge and measure from the inside of the frame material of one side to the inside of the other side.
