Do You Know What Spectacle Sizes Mean?
If you saw these numbers inside your spectacles - or someone else’s glasses for that matter, would you know what they meant?  The numbers would be on the spectalces’ frame because they are specific to the frame.
54-20-140 Sometimes there’s a little square between the numbers like this □ but this [...]

Spectacles Blog Guides To Choosing Spectacles/Glasses: Part#999
It may be foolishness on my part but Spectacles Blog has published many pieces about choosing glasses - including the shape of your face, your hair colouring, your fashion sense, your personality and so on… but never have we used our common sense and thought about spectacles and YOUR [...]

When It Comes To Spectacles; What are Trifocals?
I can’t remember where I first saw this… As you can work out, the current posts are a bit of a rag bag (or “miscellany” if you want to be polite) based on any old spectacles subjects.because I have a load of “drafts” that need to be published [...]
