Hello,

How would you understand close-fitting in the context of glasses ? I need to translate this word and the said glasses has a style which is "close-fitting".

Thank you!

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Yvonne Gallagher

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

monture à oculaires rapprochés

J'ai une certaine expérience avec les montures 'close-fitting' car j'ai fait de l'escrime pendant longtemps. Non pas que les grosses montures ne rentrent pas dans le masque, mais qu'en épéeiste, j'ai vite appris que lors d'un coup bien appuyé sur le masque, le masque touchait la monture - en plastique rigide - qui transmettait la force au nez, faisant très mal. Depuis lors, je porte des petits verres près des yeux dans une monture métallique bien flexible.

Ceci dit, j'imagine que la question concerne les lunettes de sécurité qui en étant plutôt rapprochées du visage limitent la pénétration de poussières, limaille, etc.

"Best panoramic view without tunnel effect due to CLOSE-FITTING LENS"
"vision panoramique optimale sans effet tunnel grâce à l'OCULAIRE RAPPROCHÉ"

Puis, de lunettes qui ressemblent beaucoup à la monture de Fabien Galthié, on dit que "leurs verres arrondis viennent placer la MONTURE PRÈS DU VISAGE".
