    Needing suggestions for x-large frame for women

    I have a patient that even a 60 eye size is tight. Any suggestions of where to find extremely wide women's frames?

    You should probably do something with a flexible hinge like an ic!berlin, you can just take it from a sunglass if you can't find an optical pair to fit. It will usually be rectangular shaped .

    I can find nothing over a 60 eye, my suggestion would be a drill mount

    Ovvo would be another good line. There are certainly wide options and most of this line is very flexible along genders. We have turned some of the suns into ophthalmics as well.
    Have I told you today how much I hate poly?

    Not sure what kind of price range you're looking for, but Tom Davies frames are great. You can totally customize the frames; eye, bridge and temples.

    It is actually a patient on state Medicaid. She has made it clear she cannot pay any extra.

    What is the retail value of xtra? It's hard to be big and tall, my clothes cost 2 to 3 times more than most because I am 6'6" tall. Ever tried to find a XXL Tall t shirt? Imagine dress clothes.

    She can wear a mans metal frame. Paint it for her if you care.

    Good budget options (technically men's) - Elan or Haggar.

    Also, it looks like Fatheadz carries women's frames in a 60 eye size.
