Eyewear Fit for You and Only You Every one of us has our own, distinct face. Finding the best fit frame for your face is an essential part in delivering the best vision solution. Since 1970 STEPPER EYEWEAR has been observing and recording facial dimensions from people across the globe. This knowledge, combined with technical innovation and a fundamental desire to deliver frames that fit, has naturally culminated in World Fit. STEPPER EYEWEAR’s world view of frame design identifies three key characteristic types; - European Fit - Asian Fit - African Fit These characteristic types apply aggregated facial dimensions across ethnic groups and have been created as a guide to finding your perfect frame. Advice from an eyecare professional for individual facial measurements and prescription lens requirements, embellished by your individual style, will result in a final pair of spectacles that is as unique as you are.
