Ever wondered if your glasses slide down because of your nose shape? You might have what's called a low nose bridge.
A low nose bridge is a facial feature where the bridge of the nose sits level with or below your pupils. Instead of being high and prominent, it appears flatter and can be wider.
This is a completely natural variation in facial structure found across all ethnicities. It’s simply about how you’re built, and finding frames that are built for you.
How to Tell If You Have a Low Nose Bridge
Not sure if this sounds like you? There are a couple of simple ways to find out.
The Pupil Test
Look in a mirror and point your finger at the top of your nose bridge. If it’s level with or below your pupils, you likely have a low nose bridge.
Signs Your Current Glasses Don't Fit
Your current frames might be telling you all you need to know. Common signs include:
- Frames constantly sliding down your nose
- Glasses resting on your cheekbones, especially when you smile
- Your eyelashes brushing against the lenses
- Red marks or pressure points on your cheeks
What Does Low Bridge Fit Mean?
Low bridge fit glasses are engineered specifically for those with low nose bridges and high cheekbones. They aren't just smaller frames; they're structurally different.
These designs incorporate small but mighty changes to ensure your glasses stay put without slipping. Think of them as custom-tailored for your facial features.
- The Goal: To provide a comfortable, stable fit that eliminates the need to constantly push your glasses back up. They are a great fit for high cheekbones, too!
Key Features of Low Bridge Fit Glasses
So what makes these frames different? It all comes down to a few specific design tweaks.
- Lower Bridge & Deeper Nose Pads: These allow the frame to sit securely on the sides of your nose, not on the slope. This lifts the frame off your cheeks to prevent slippage and those annoying red marks.
- Longer Temple Arms: A little extra length provides more room and reduces pressure on your nose and cheeks. This ensures the frames can be properly adjusted to hook securely behind your ears.
- Flatter Frame Curvature: These frames are designed with a flatter front). This prevents the frame from touching your cheeks or hitting your eyelashes, especially when you smile.
Low Bridge Fit vs. Standard Fit: What's the Difference?
Still wondering how they stack up against regular frames? Here’s a quick breakdown of the key differences.
| Feature | Low Bridge Fit | Standard Fit |
|---|---|---|
| Bridge Height | Lower, sits closer to face | Higher bridge placement |
| Nose Pads | Deeper, more prominent | Shallower, standard |
| Temple Arms | Longer, more room | Standard length |
| Frame Curvature | Flatter profile | More curved |
| Best For | Low nose bridges, high cheekbones | Higher nose bridges |

But honestly? If you struggle with glasses slipping or feeling uncomfortable, a low bridge fit is worth a try.
