So these are my new glasses! What do you think? They are totally the opposite of what I was looking for, but as I have such trouble finding glasses wide enough for my face these seemed like a cute option. Also very lightweight. Bought yesterday at Alain Afflelou and being returned this morning for “adjustments”. Lenses aren’t fitted into the frames properly. So if they can’t fix them “just so” they won’t be my new glasses for much longer…
Funky!
I know all about the problem finding big enough glasses. I think they make them for midgets.

It’s like all shoes coming in a B-width. Used to be that if you liked a frame you could ask for them in a larger size, but these days most shops only stock “B-width” frames. Most annoying, especially as I have the same trouble with shoes.

The problem I find is that, while you’ll see really nice frames in catalogues or magazines, the store has 35,000 versions of the same frame in 35,000 shades of grey… and several really beautiful frames which can’t be fitted with my prescription.

Yes. I like them too & I think they would suit you – hope they can make the necessary adjustments. I have quite a wide bridge to my nose which always limits my choice of frames. Currently, I have frameless specs & am very happy with them – in fact, I’m on my second lot of lenses so have actually had them quite a few years now!

WELL… no good news so far. Apparently these frames can’t be adjusted because it distorts them so that the lenses don’t fit properly anymore. Which wasn’t what the sales guy told me when I tried them on and told him they felt a bit tight on one side. He said – “no problem, we’ll just adjust them once the proper lenses are in” – and then later told his boss that he’d warned me the frames were too tight on me. LIAR!
This is all because they want to give me a store voucher instead of refund my money. But I want my money back. Stay tuned….
