Frame selection
(1) Generally speaking, users with a prescription below 500 degrees can choose a larger range of frame shapes and sizes (except for oversized frames), users with a prescription between 500 and 800 degrees should try to choose a full-frame or half-frame frame with a smaller frame width, and users with a prescription above 800 degrees should choose a small, full-frame frame. (See the following table for details)
(2) Generally speaking, the more standard the pupil distance (65mm), the thinner the thickness of the lenses, so users with a wider or narrower pupil distance should try to choose a frame that fits the width of the frame. (See the table below for details)
