The lens width affects the field of view.

If the lens is too wide

It may grow too large on the face,

The bridge width is the width at which the glasses sit on the nose.

It depends on how well it fits.

If the bridge is too wide, the glasses will easily slip down.

If it's too narrow, you may feel pressured.

Temple length affects how comfortable your glasses are to wear.

If it is too long, the part that rests on the ears will feel oppressive,
