1. Understanding the anatomy of Wide Bridge Fit Sunglasses
Wide bridge-fit sunglasses are specifically designed to accommodate larger nose bridges. These sunglasses offer unique features that ensure a comfortable, secure fit and style. Key design elements include:

  • Wide Bridge: More space between the lenses to comfortably accommodate the nose.
  • Low Bridge Slope: A gentler slope that allows the glasses to sit comfortably on on the sides of the nose.
  • Wide Splay Angle: Wide splay angle allow the nose pades to sit flush with the sides of the nose  and provide better support, comfort and prevent slipping.
  • Flat or Low Pantoscopic Tilt: A minimal tilt angle ensures the lenses align properly with the wearer's eyes, avoid  frames resting on the cheeks, and therefore enhancing comfort and vision.

2. Design Innovations by REFRAMD
At REFRAMD, we prioritise inclusivity and comfort in our eyewear designs. As a matter of fact we started REFRAMD as a brand focused on design eyewear for people with wider nose bridges, commomly black people. Here are the innovative changes we've made compared to traditional eyewear:

  • Multi-variant designs: Every design we create is available in multiple nose profiles, including wide nose fit, and various sizes. This ensures that our customers don't have to compromise comfort for style, or vice versa. Our multi-variant approach allows you to choose a design that perfectly fits your unique facial features, providing both comfort and aesthetic appeal.Sunglasses in wide bridge fit, low bridge Asia fit, high bridge fit
    • Wide and Low Bridge Slope: Traditional sunglasses often feature a steep bridge slope (dashed curve), making them uncomfortable for those with wider noses. REFRAMD sunglasses have a wider and lower bridge slope (solid line), allowing them to sit naturally and comfortably on wider nose bridges.

This feature enhances both comfort and visual clarity, making our sunglasses ideal for prolonged wear.Sunglasses for bigger nose bridge show pantoscopic tilt
