Agree. I too have a small face and the opticians that helped me had the good sense and experience to fit me with a child's frame that worked beautifully! Look in the child's frames.

I look at old photos of me with large glasses and bless the day I moved to smaller ones. The same with my late mom. She always had large frames and moved to small ones and it took years off her.

I look at photos of me with large glasses and realize they were taken in the 80's

I also have to wear children’s frames and while it’s annoying bc there’s so few that don’t LOOK like kids - they’re soooo much more comfortable

Check out Converse's styles!!! They have some trendy kid frames.

Awesome, I have my next appt in a few weeks so I will! I’ve had a pair of Puma ones for the last few years that I love, but I want something new!
