The eyewear industry use the term 'Asian Fit' to describe eyewear that is designed specifically for people who have lower nose bridges and higher cheekbones. These facial features [often those from Asian descent - hence the name] can find it uncomfortable or impractical to wear traditional glasses as these frames tend to slide down their noses, rest on their cheekbones or hit their eyelashes. Asian-fit glasses are constructed to sit slightly upwards so the frame sits higher on the bridge of your nose. This design feature helps to lift the sunglasses or glasses off the face of a person with a flatter nose bridge and higher cheekbones.
