    Sunglasses for big melons

    What sun lines include big sizes that are Rx-able for the goliath patient? Any thoughts?

    Modern Optical also makes the BMEC line. "Big Mens Eyewear Club." These are the best I've seen so far.

    Ah yes, OD head. ( A secret term used by Opticians ) Why not a three piece? It's my #1 selling wrap style. Light weight and totally customizable on sizing and shape.
