What exactly is the process called for measuring your face for eyeglasses?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fitting: This is called fitting the glasses. It involves measuring the distance from midline to each eye and between eyes and determining the shape and size of the glasses and the length of the temples of the glasses. It is typically done by a skilled optician.
