Default What Size Autoflex 51 Clip Sunglasses Do I Wear?

I saw these clip on sunglasses on the Internet and I noticed that they came in two sizes: 48 and 50. How do I know which one of these will fit on my glasses? Is that a measurement in millimeters or something?

I found this picture that illustrates the different measurement of a pair of regular glasses. Obviously clip on sunglasses will not have a temple measurement, so when they say they come in sizes 48 and 50, they're referring to the to the "eye size." As you can see from this picture, the "eye size" means the horizontal width of each lens.

That's great, Type40. Thanks for your help.

So I guess I'd better find a ruler with millimeter marks on it and see what size lenses my glasses have.

Yes, that would be a logical course of action.

Does anyone else here know their sunglasses size? Can you order clip-on sunglasses like these by their size?

Default What's a Few Millimeters Between Friends?

I just though of a new question. The two sizes here are 48 and 50 millimeters, a difference of two millimeters. The letter "m" here is probably about five millimeters wide. Does two millimeters really make all that much difference in these clip on sunglasses? Wouldn't both sizes fit?

I don't think two millimeters would make a difference, but then again, why make two sizes? Can you really make more money by offering two sizes? How many customers say "I'll buy the size 50 for me and a size 48 for my dear small-headed wife"?
