Oval optical glasses have a more elongated curve than round frames. Lens height and bridge construction also influence their appearance: consider these details alongside the material and colour.

Explore the models selected by OCCHIO! and compare measurements on the product pages. All oval shapes, optical and sun, are gathered in oval glasses. To find your way, read the frame size guide or compare our selection of round optical glasses.
