How to Size Your Fit-Over Glasses

Fit-over glasses commonly come in the form of sunglasses and are designed to be worn over your regular prescription glasses. This enables you to protect your eyes from the sun's bright rays while still enabling you to see with your prescription glasses. This also enables you to carry only one pair of glasses, as fit-over glasses fit comfortably over your prescription glasses.

Instructions

• 1

  Print out a sizing guide to test the size of your prescription glasses to the fit-over glasses. Adjust your printer settings so the printing size reads 100 percent. Place a quarter on the printed sheet where a real size quarter has been printed on the sheet. This will show that the image size equals that of a real quarter.

• 2

  Place your prescription glasses face down on the print out. Determine which size of fit- ver glasses will cover your prescription glasses by holding the glasses over the each diagram. If your glasses fit within the red lines, the fit-over size should be a good fit.

• 3

  Use a ruler or measuring tape to measure the dimensions of your prescription glasses. Measure the width from end to end of your prescription glasses. Measure the height from the bottom to the top of the lenses.

• 4

  Refer to a fit-over glasses sizing chart. Determine which size of fit-over glasses will fit comfortably and fully cover your prescription glasses.
