What do those 3 numbers even mean??

 These three numbers are the frame's measurements. They will look somewhat like this: 51□19   144

From left to right, these eyeglass measurements appear in the following order: lens width, bridge width, temple length.

Sometimes a fourth number will be noted on the arms, which is your lens height. All of these measurements are in millimeters.

	Lens Width This is the horizontal width of each lens at its widest point. It typically ranges from 40mm to 60mm.
	Bridge Width This is the distance between your two lenses. In short, the bridge width is the space where your frames fit against your nose. The size of this piece ranges from 14mm to 24mm.
	Temple Length (Arm Length) This is the length of the temple from each screw to its temple tip, including the bend that sits on your ear. This measurement does not vary as much as the others. The temple is typically 120mm to 150mm long.
	Lens Height This is the vertical height of your eyeglass lenses at the widest point of the lens within the frame. The lens height is important when measuring bifocals or progressive lenses.
