Learn how to measure your face and compare frame dimensions to find the perfect fit for the Royale Optics frame by Valley Eyewear.
Quick answer
To choose the right size in the Royale Optics frame, measure your temple-to-temple width and compare it to the frame's lens width and bridge size. The Royale's slimline silhouette and stepped-down temples work best on narrow to medium face widths.
Why frame size matters for the Royale
The Royale Optics frame is a refined evolution of the classic Anvil, with a slimline silhouette and softened curves. Its stepped-down temples and subtle detailing mean it sits closer to the face than bulkier frames, so getting the width right is especially important. A frame that is too wide will slide down your nose, while one that is too narrow can pinch your temples.
What to do if your measurements fall between sizes
If your temple-to-temple width sits between two standard frame sizes, consider the Royale's lightweight construction. The frame's low weight makes a slightly larger size more forgiving, as it won't feel heavy or unbalanced. Conversely, a slightly smaller size can work if you prefer a snug, sporty fit.
Step-by-step fit guide
- Measure your temple-to-temple width: Using a flexible ruler, measure the distance between the two indentations just above your ears where the temples of glasses would rest. This is your face width for frame fitting. A common mistake is measuring across the widest part of your head, which overestimates the needed frame size.
- Check the Royale's lens and bridge dimensions: Look for the three numbers printed on the inside of the Royale temple (e.g., 50-20-140). The first number is lens width, the second is bridge width, and the third is temple length. Add the lens and bridge widths to get the total frame width. If you cannot find the numbers, contact Valley Eyewear customer support for the exact specifications.
- Compare your face width to the frame width: Your face width should be within 5 mm of the total frame width for a balanced fit. If the frame is more than 10 mm wider than your face, it will likely slip; if it is narrower, it may pinch. Remember that the Royale's stepped-down temples add a bit of visual width, so a slightly narrower frame can still look proportional.
- Test the temple length: The temple length (third number) should match the distance from the front of your ear to the hinge point behind your lens. Standard sizes are 135, 140, or 145 mm. The Royale's temples should curve gently behind your ear without pressing. If the temples are too long, they may poke out; if too short, the frame will sit too high on your nose.
