Who should wear keyhole bridge glasses?
Glasses with keyhole frames are the most ideal for people with bigger, flatter, or wider nose bridges. That’s because it’s generally more comfortable for them to wear glasses with slightly wider bridge gaps so their frames can sit appropriately snug on their noses without squeezing tightly. Keyhole bridges provide just that!
Pros & cons of a keyhole bridge
As we’ve said – keyhole bridge specs don’t sit directly against the top of your nose bridge and instead just rest against its two sides. Effectively, this distributes the frame’s weight and eliminates the budding pressure had the bridge been pressing directly against your nose.
With their comfortable design, keyhole bridge eyeglasses are an excellent pick for everyday wear and if you plan to wear your specs for long periods of time.
On the other hand – people with small and low nose bridges may not find frames with keyhole designs to be the best for them. They’re likely gonna sit too low against the nose. At Mouqy, we’ve got eyeglasses to suit all face sizes and shapes!
Appearance-wise, the keyhole bridge can make your nose look longer and wider when worn. Its shape can give an illusion of adjusting your nose structure slightly – which people may or may not like the look of.
How should keyhole bridge glasses fit?
The most important thing to consider when fitting keyhole bridge glasses is that they rest on both sides of your upper nose comfortably. Not too tight or it’ll hurt, but with just the right amount of fit.
What are the different bridges on glasses?
Saddle bridge
These are frames with glasses shaped like a horse’s saddle. The most common glasses bridge type is perfect for frames that are heavy, thick-rimmed, and made from materials such as plastic. Saddle bridge glasses also even out the glasses’ weight on your nose.
Double bridge
Double-bridge eyeglasses offer modern and youthful takes in the design department. Aside from the regular bridge that joins the two framed lenses, this style uses another bar added at the top which can enhance the overall look and style. It’s basically what aviator-style frames are like!
Low bridge
Low bridge glasses are suited for people with low nose bridges and wide faces. The glasses have a low bridge and deeper nose pad areas which allow them to sit higher on the nose. They’re comfortable and sit securely and rightly in the face. They’re also often referred to as ‘Asian fit glasses’.
Adjustable nose pad
Eyeglasses with adjustable nose pads are the most versatile kind. They can be adjusted accordingly to suit different nose shapes and sizes. Because of this, they can fit any bridge width due to the nose pads, even for kids! Lastly, they usually come in specs with metal frames.
