This has gotten very technical, so my reply is a bit out of context....but Crankin, I am very petite too, and used to only wear children's frames - usu a bit clunkier than adult styles. My optometrist carries small frames, the last 2 pair I have purchased are from "Bevel" brand - pricey, but well made,fashionable, and well-proportioned for petite faces. Frameless models- any brand- are good for any size face. And when your prescription changes, they can make new lenses in any shape/size that you prefer! Tokie
