Choosing Your Best TheraSpecs Style (Part 3): Frame Comfort

Choosing Your Best TheraSpecs Style (Part 3): Frame Comfort

Written by Greg Bullock on 3rd Jan 2017

We know how important it is to have your eyewear fit properly and comfortably on your face without aggravating your condition. In the third installment of our blog series, we take a look at the most common questions surrounding the fit and feel of TheraSpecs frames.

How much do TheraSpecs weigh?

We designed each of our frames to be as lightweight as possible to minimize pressure on the head and face, which could otherwise wreak havoc during or after an attack. However, there are minor weight differences depending on the specific frame style as well as the type of lens. See the table below for a comparison of frame weights.

Like any pair of eyeglasses, raw weight does not tell the whole story. How they fit on your face and how the weight is distributed can make a big difference in the overall comfort of a frame. And don’t let the relative lightweight nature of our eyewear fool you: TheraSpecs unique blend of materials give them impressive durability, meaning they will hold up with repetitive use.

Other sizing considerations

Additional sizing questions often center around the particular shape of a face and how TheraSpecs would fit. Whether you have a narrow or wide face, it is important to remember that all TheraSpecs styles are adjustable. A few minor adjustments with the help of a professional can make a tremendous difference in the fit and feel of our glasses. Below are a few additional measurements for comparison, including total frame width and bridge width, to help inform these considerations.

  Haven Pilot Classic Wrap Petite Wrap
Total Frame Width 128mm 132mm 128mm 137mm 132mm

Lastly, we have two different styles of bridge options. Seven frames, Osborn, Fremont, Pilot, Hudson, Haven, Winslow and Conrad, have soft, silicone nose pads while the remaining styles have a saddle bridge and rest comfortably on the top portion of the nose.
