A woman walked into our practice recently looking for stylish frames for some new progressive lenses she needed. She has a darker complexion and wants something nuetral, but not black. Nosepads are a must and she has a very flat bridge. Full or semi-rimless is ok as long as we have at least 30mm+ for a B measurement. (I'd prefer 35 or more but she also has a fuller face and I worry about her cheeks hitting the frame.) She has a 77mm PD, and she wants the temples to go as straight back as possible. The only frames I've found that remotely would work are mens frames.
As a side note,I would love to do a drill as we could adjust the lens size to fit her but I worry about having adjustment issues. She has very thick wiry hair and a lightweight drill would get lost. I'm willing to do a drill as long as the frame is more substantial.
Does anyone know of a company or line that has frames for the larger woman? I've looked and looked and all that seems to exist are mens or sunglasses. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
Holly
