Glasses for Men with Large Heads (Over 145mm)
You can find good glasses for big heads. Here at Bassol Optics we tell you how to choose. We want frames that don't squeeze or bother you. So you'll look good, with something fashionable. It's also important that they last long enough. We want you to see well, without problems.
Why is it important that big glasses fit you well?
A lot of men with wider faces are bothered by glasses. They squeeze them, they slip, they leave marks. It's not just a nuisance if the glasses aren't your size. They can hurt your ears, your temples, sometimes you can't see well with them. This happens if the optical centers are not well positioned, the frame fits badly. Not only is it uncomfortable every day, it can also hurt your eyes over time. But if they fit you perfectly, you gain a lot. You'll be comfortable, that's the main thing. You'll be able to wear your sunglasses or prescription all day long, without feeling constricted or irritated. They are also stable. The glasses won't slip down your nose, they won't fall off when you move. And, of course, if the frame of men's glasses goes with your face, you'll look better. It gives you more confidence and style. So, the lenses do their job well, protect your eyes and give you the clarity you need to see.
Know your size: It's not just 'big'.
If you think you have a big head for glasses, look at the measurements. If the frame width is more than 145mm, you almost certainly need a size XL or XXL. To measure your face, use a ruler or tape. Measure from temple to temple. If you get more than 145mm, then yes, you have a big head. Glasses have three important measurements, you can find them on the temple:
- Lens width (e.g. 57mm): this is the width of the lens, side to side.
- Bridge width (e.g. 18mm): This is the space between the two lenses, above your nose.
- Temple length (e.g. 145mm): This is the length of the temple to your ear.
If you have a large head, look for wide lenses, starting at 55mm. The bridge should be correct, not too tight or loose. And the temples should be long. The bridge is very important. If it is too narrow, the glasses will squeeze your nose. If it is too wide, they will slip.
Glasses are more than just an accessory. They are like a part of you, they help you see well. Size is very important, so they fit you well and you look stylish. - Bassol Optics Design Team.
Materials and Design: Durable and Stylish Eyewear for Large Faces
Choosing the material and design of your eyewear is super important for men with large faces. We want them to be strong, comfortable and look good. For wider faces, we suggest materials that will hold up without weighing too much. Good acetate is a great idea, it's strong, there are lots of colors and it can be shaped to make wider frames, so they fit comfortably. Titanium and flexible stainless steel are also very good, they weigh little, do not rust and do not lose their shape, perfect if you are looking for something simpler but durable. About styles, there are shapes that suit large faces better. Rectangular, square or classic aviator and wayfarer glasses are excellent choices. Their horizontal lines and the balance they give help your features look better. These frames are usually wider and cover well without looking too big. You should avoid frames that are too small, narrow or round, because they can make your face look bigger and weirder. The idea is to look for a design that makes your temples look longer and that the glasses have presence on your face, so they don't get lost.
Lenses: It's Not Just Seeing, It's Also Protection.
The quality of the lenses is just as important as the frame, especially in large glasses. If they are sunglasses, they need to have 100% UV protection to take care of your eyes. Anti-reflective treatments make you see better and make your eyes less tired, polarized lenses are great for less glare, especially if you're driving or outside. For men's glasses with a high prescription, high refractive lenses are perfect. They make the glass thinner and lighter, even in larger glasses, so you don't look like you have a "bottoms up" and they look better.

More tips for choosing and caring for your large glasses
Choosing the perfect men's glasses is not just a question of size. It's best to try them on in the store, of course, but some online opticians have virtual fittings that help quite a bit. When you put them on, the temples should not squeeze your head, nor should they be too short behind your ears. The bridge has to fit snugly on your nose, without marking or slipping. The size of the bridge is key, if it doesn't fit properly, the frame will move a lot. You can't change the original size of the glasses, but an optician can adjust the temples and the bridge, so they fit perfectly. To make them last, clean your glasses often with a microfiber cloth and a special spray, and always keep them in their case so they don't get scratched.
