Plastic eyeglass frames for asian noses - Page 7

So my mother went and asked the family optometrist for my prescription and got new eyeglasses made up for me for Christmas (bless her heart). But the problem is, my ears are uneven and require adjustment of the temple arms to fit properly. The frames she chose do not have that 'adjustable hinge' I have on my current ones. I'd like to be able to wear her gift, and the design she chose does look fairly nice. Is there a way to remake them such that I can adjust the temple arms?

Just take it to any dispensing optometrist or optical and they will be able to do it no problem.

Will do in between sorting out bank admin stuff in my lunch break today, thanks!

does anyone own a OP sheldrake able to advice if the nosepads/cushions protrude out more?How about moscot dannee?Not much view from its website..

Just came across an awesome new eyewear line - each plastic frame can be ordered with or without nosepads. It's called Alexander Daas. The frames are super comfortable and very well made. This nosepad option is great for an asian bridge. http://alexanderdaas.com

so is there any consensus?

Lots of places do custom glasses now for barely more than a good designer pair.

I personally just wear frames so large they sit on my cheek bones instead of my nose.

That leaves big nasty red marks on your cheeks, though.

I ended up with a pair of oversized Prada back in 2007. They're goofy but functional (and fucking expensive. . ) I went and tried the "New Wayfarer" from Ray-ban last week and it was so dwarfed, even in the largest sized, by my face that it was comical. You'd think with a couple billion people there'd be a very large market for Asian fit sunglasses, or at least importing a full-line. I bet an asian-fit specialty shop/cart in West LA or K-Town would do gangbusters...

^^How did the old wayfarer fit you?

Anyone knows if the moscot lemtosh's nosepad is substantial enough?From the images on their website,don't have a complete side view of the frame..

Rounder, more circular face = rectangular frames?

I imagine getting Lemtosh's would make a round face even rounder.

Anyone here Try Warby Parker or ClassicSpecs etc recently.? Wondering if any of the models would work without undergoing the nosepad modification.
