You don't have to stick with the same numbers, it's not law. Really, use it as a basis, and work from there.
49 - that's your lens width. Do you like how big it is? Is it too big, or too small? If it's too small, look for something with a bigger number, if it's too big, look for smaller. 20 is the bridge length - the piece that holds the lenses together. does it pinch your nose? If so, look for something bigger. If it's too big, look for something a little smaller. 135 is your temple (the arm) size. bigger numbers mean longer arms. Remember that once you have them, you CAN adjust them. Here's a for instance of how you'd use it: My old sunglasses were had small lenses, 26mm high - I knew I wanted something taller, so when I went to look for new frames, I made sure to search the lens heights for 30 and above. I found plenty, and I'm happy with the 3 pairs I bought. :) Just remember, all of these measurements are in millimeters, so a difference of 1 or 2 isn't going to be that big a change. If you like what you've got, by all means, stick with the closest you can get to those measurements.
