All about Frames By Opto. Ivan and Optician Wen Bing Understanding the Differences Between Asian Fit and Standard Fit Eyewear Key Differences: 1. Nose Bridge and Nose Pads: Narrower Nose Bridges: Asian fit eyewear typically features narrower nose bridges to provide a secure fit for those with flat, narrow nasal and maxillary bones. These bridges can be as narrow as 8mm, which helps prevent the frames from resting too low or sliding down the nose. Taller Nose Pads: Asian fit frames often have taller nose pads to provide greater surface area and grip, ensuring the frames rest higher on wearers with low nose bridges.

Ivan and Optician Wen Bing There are two main types: Solid Nose Pads: Sculpted into full-rim acetate frames, these are more prominent and provide a secure grip but are not adjustable. Adjustable Nose Pads: Common in rimless or semi-rimless metal frames, these can be adjusted to suit the wearer's nose for a more customized fit. 2. Frame Curvature and Width: Decreased Frame Curvature: Asian fit eyewear usually has a flatter frame front to accommodate wider heads, reducing uncomfortable pinching at the sides. Increased Temple Curvature: The temples of Asian fit frames are more curved to cater to wider heads, preventing pressure points and discomfort, and providing a more secure fit.

Frame Height and Pantoscopic Angle Shorter Frame Heights: Designed to prevent the frames from resting on the wearer’s cheeks, which is a common issue for those with high cheekbones. Reduced Pantoscopic Angle: This angle makes the frame more vertical to the wearer’s face, tilting the frame’s lower rims forward and away from the high cheekbones. This adjustment helps the frame perch more effectively on the nose and prevents it from sliding down. Updated version from 5/2024. Updated version from 5/2024.
