Hello Folks,

I have somewhat of an elongated face. My temple to temple distance is 5". Every sizing guide I've come cross suggests I should get the smaller 52mm lens width variation (as opposed to the 55mm). But then again, there is is the preference factor, which may outweigh traditional sizing methods.

My problem is that I have no real preference between the 52mm and 55mm. I was going to go with the snugger fitting 52mm but then my wife said that she thinks the 55mm looks better on me.

Based on the photo below, which size do you think better fits my face? Click on the image to zoom in for full effect.

:lol:
It is now a toss up for her as well.
It's almost like if they made an in-between size, it would have been the perfect one.

Haha. In that case, I say 52. But, everyone else will probably recommend 55. Get what you like and what is comfortable.
