    Smiths just don't suit me, and I have never tried on a pair of Oakleys that don't give me eyelash-touching problems. On that front though, I find Nike sunglasses to be really good; not exactly cheap, but light, comfortable and not even a hint of eyelash-scrapage. Probably would look a little bug-eyed space monsterish on very narrow faces, but look fine on the average gal. Adidas are good too, but equally - if not more - pricey and their wrap-around styles seem to be more prone to inducing bug-eyed space monsterism.

    Oakley for me, for years and years. Not sure about how they fit small faces, but if you can find a pair you like, the optics are outstanding. I don't much care about how I look in my sunglasses ... my eyes seem to be very sun-sensitive so full coverage is a must. My newest pair -- Dartboards -- I am totally in love with. Just rode a century with them and forgot they were even on my face. Distortion-free wrap-around, copper lens to cut glare, light as a feather. Can't sing high enough praises.

    Yeah, Oakley lenses are superb; a shame that they just don't fit right.

    Rudy Project rocks! I've already raved about these in another forum. They aren't cheap, but are relatively impervious to scratches and come with a bomber hard case to store and trasport them in. They will replace scratched lenses no questions asked. I have Skeeys, which are a bit goofy on my small face, but they have come out with smaller models (most with the suffix "SX" as in "Rydon SX") in the years since I got mine. Yes, I have had the same pair for years and have not had to replace the lenses, and I am not the most careful gal around. They have a lot of lens options. I have a very narrow bridge nose, can't wear most plastic frames, and the Skeeys are one of the few glasses that have an adjustable bridge.
