What a virtual glasses try on shows you
A frame that looks great on a product page can look too wide, too small or too heavy on you. A live virtual glasses try on answers three questions before you order.
Shape against your face
A virtual glasses try on shows whether round, square, cat-eye or aviator lines balance your jaw, cheekbones and brow.
Size and position
Check that the frame matches the width of your face and that your eyes sit near the center of each lens.
Color with your skin and hair
Compare black, tortoise, crystal and metal finishes next to your skin tone, and lens tints for sunglasses.

Virtual glasses try on by face shape
Opticians pick frames that contrast with your face: angular frames for soft features, round frames for strong ones. The tool measures your face from the camera and marks frames that fit the rule. Treat it as a starting point; the virtual glasses try on lets you check the result yourself.
| Face shape | What helps | Frames to try |
|---|---|---|
| Oval | Keep the balance | Almost any: oversized square, geometric hex, aviator |
| Round | Angles and width | Classic rectangle, bold square, browline, retro trapezoid |
| Square | Curves to soften the jaw | Soft round, round wire, slim oval, cat-eye |
| Heart | Lighter tops, width lower down | Aviator, round wire, slim oval, geometric hex |
| Oblong | Depth to shorten the face | Oversized square, bold square, retro trapezoid |
| Diamond | Width at the brow | Cat-eye, browline, slim oval, soft round |
| Triangle | Weight on top | Browline, cat-eye, aviator, round wire |
Face shape detection in the virtual glasses try on is approximate. It works best when you look straight at the camera with your hair off your forehead.
Your face shape also decides which haircuts flatter you. Pair new frames with a new cut in our hairstyle try-on and see both on your own face.
Frame size and PD from your virtual glasses try on
While you look straight ahead, the tool uses the iris, which is about 11.7 mm across in most adults, as a ruler. From it the virtual glasses try on estimates two numbers that help when you shop online.
Frame size
Your face width at the temples becomes a narrow, medium or wide frame size. Compare it with the total frame width listed by the shop.
PD estimate
Pupil distance is the gap between the centers of your pupils, often 54–74 mm in adults. Online orders ask for it to center the lenses.
Fit by eye
In the virtual glasses try on, your eyes should sit near the middle of each lens and the frame should not reach past the sides of your face.
These are camera estimates, not a prescription measurement. For prescription lenses, use the PD on your prescription or ask an optician to measure it.
Virtual sunglasses try on: six lens tints
Switch the virtual glasses try on to Sunglasses and every frame gets a tinted lens. Tint changes how dark the frames look on you, so try it before you choose a color.
Smoke gray
Keeps colors true and cuts glare evenly: the safe all-round choice.
Brown gradient
Dark at the top, light at the bottom; warm and good for driving.
Classic green
A vintage look with natural contrast.
Rose
A light fashion tint that warms the face; not for bright sun.
Blue mirror
Reflective and bold; hides the eyes completely.
Yellow
Boosts contrast in dull light; a statement color.
