I have a patient who is wearing a Marchon aviator (66 Eye) that is too small for him. Yes, his head is larger than most. I estimate that he will need a 69 eye with 18 bridge. Any ideas? Already tried the major vendors. Might be a specialty item.

Put him in a pair of monocles. Problem solved. You're welcome!
Is there an emoji for face palm?

Another option would be a rimless, then you could make it any size necessary.

Large size frames ...........................
Are you still interested? I believe we have a very large frame in out office . Let me know I will look today if you are still interested...
Howard, is the frame a 69 or 70? He is currently wearing a 66 with an 18 bridge, and it is too small.
Chris, thanks for the tip on Fatheads. Looks like they stall out around a 66.
How about a silhouette?
Second the rimless frames
+1 for this LOLPut him in a pair of monocles. Problem solved. You're welcome!
My dad is a similar size and the only frame I found comfortably for him was the 7581 Silhouette model, 21 DBL, 160mm temple length.

Thanks for all the help. I think the only solution (besides monocles) is the rimless, and he wants an aviator. Gonna let him shop around.
I've seen Aviator shape rimless done before. Not the prettiest...but it has been done.
silhouette sh #5418 is kinda aviator-y if that's helpful.
Aviator style lenses on rimless are quite common especially in the Oakley and Maui lines (Sugar Beach).
I don't see how a clear RX lens would be any different unless the RX is extremely strong or high in cyl.....
We might have a frame that might work for your patient at Reptile Sunglasses. It's the Pecos and is a 67 eye, 15 bridge and fits wide. It is an aviator type shape so feel free to check us out at reptilesun.com Thanks. We do offer frame only's.
