    frames with large bridge

    Any ideas for frames designed for a large bridge? We had a patient with a deviated septum, and he needs something bigger than a 20 bridge. We thought of phat farm, but any other ideas are really appreciated.

    I'm quite interested in this myself. The best fitting pair of frames I've ever had were a 52-21 (I'm a big guy) But being a 22 year old guy who would like to think he's somewhat stylish, you can imagine the options I have to choose from in those sizes. I'm currently wearing a roots frame in a 54-18, and it's not bad, but not nearly as nice of a fit as the 21 was. I've never understood the logic behind frame designs... We have probably 3 or 4 frames in the dispensary with a bridge bigger than 20 (not counting the large, double-bridged frames) and ALL of them have a less than 50 eyesize. Most of them around or less than 45! I mean, what the heck? You would think the people with larger faces would need bigger bridges... but apparently not. :\

    You could always solder your own and have it replated.
    Bit I second the XXL line.
