Oval Glasses

Oval glasses stretch the curve of the lens horizontally. Compared with a round frame the line is more relaxed; compared with a rectangle it has no corners. The ratio between lens width and height separates a narrow, low oval from a more open one, and the bridge changes how the frame sits on your face.

Here you'll find oval frames for prescription and sun together. For a single category, open oval eyeglasses or oval sunglasses; for a tighter curve, see round glasses. From the Journal: Oval glasses: history, proportions and models by independent designers.

Oval glasses: frequently asked questions

What's the difference between oval and round glasses?

An oval is wider than it is tall; a round frame has almost equal width and height. At the same lens width, an oval leaves more room horizontally.

Do oval glasses suit a small face?

Often, yes, if lens width and total width are compact. Check them on the product page and read our guide for small faces.

Can I try them on before buying?

Yes, at our boutique in Crema, Italy. Online you'll find photos, measurements and availability for every model, with shipping abroad too.
