Round optical glasses change character with the thickness of the front, the bridge and the material. The OCCHIO! selection includes acetate frames and slender metal profiles, offering different interpretations of the circular shape.

Compare each model's measurements with a pair you wear well. Lens width is the width of the lens, not of the whole frame: see the size guide and discover our oval optical glasses too.

Models to start your comparison

Corbs Noir and KMN 6147 BK let you compare an acetate rim with a construction combining titanium and acetate. Read their 46 and 47 mm lens widths alongside their 27 and 24 mm bridges.

Measurements in mm: lens width – bridge – temple. Lens width is not the total width of the frame.

Round optical glasses: frequently asked questions

Is there a difference between round and circular glasses?

No, both describe the same shape: circular lenses. What changes is front thickness, bridge and material.

Who suits round glasses?

It depends on the proportions between lenses, bridge and face more than on fixed rules. We tell the story in Round glasses: from the first lenses of the 1200s to independent designers.

Are there round glasses for men?

Yes, the round shape has no gender: the selection includes different lens widths and thicknesses, listed on each product page.

Can I try them before buying?

Yes, at our boutique in Crema, Italy. Online you will find photographs, measurements and availability for each model, with international shipping.
