Collection: 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.
