First, you must know the size of your frame which are lens width, bridge size, and temple length. They are usually on the temple,so you can look inside an existing frame. Second, you must know your prescription which you can get it from your eye doctor when you go to have an eye exam. Finally, you must know your PD which is the distance between your pupils. You can get it from your eye doctor.
