Big Head Glasses Frames: My Search for the Right Fit

I have a big head, and finding big head glasses frames that don't squeeze or look tiny has been a journey. Here's what finally worked.

The Big Head Challenge

Standard frames would:

Squeeze my temples painfully

Look disproportionately small

Cause pressure headaches

Leave red marks on my temples

My Size Requirements

With a head circumference of 60cm, I need:

Lens width: 56mm minimum

Bridge: 19-20mm

Temple length: 145-150mm

Total frame width: 145mm+

Where to Find Large Frames

I search specifically for:

"Large frame glasses"

"Wide fit glasses"

"XL glasses frames"

"Big and tall eyewear"

Frame Styles That Work

For big heads, I found:

Bold, substantial frames - Look proportionate

Rectangular shapes - Balance my face

Flexible hinges - Accommodate width better

The Result

Properly sized frames eliminated all my discomfort. They look proportionate and feel comfortable all day. Don't settle for standard sizing if you have a big head.
