Prescription computer/reading glasses- lttle choice

[Crankin]

ShootingStar, go online and search for reading glasses for small heads. I have the same exact issue as you, and I buy my reading glasses online. I also wanted fashionable, funky ones and it was virtually impossible to walk into a store and buy the off the shelf funky ones. There are frames that are made for "tweens" that you could try on at an optical shop, but they will cost a lot more.
I had more of an issue when I wanted to buy fashionable frames for my progressive lenses that I need to wear on the rare occasion I don't have my contacts in. After getting some help here on TE, I found a brand that had a line of frames for small heads and a place about 15 miles away that carried them. I ended up getting a different brand, but found a great optical place. So different than the place I was going to where they told me what I wanted doesn't sell with the stodgy suburban women around here... guess I'm an outlier.

Sigh. First I want to try on glasses in person. I need prescription glasses. I have looked at 4 stores of which 3 of them each had several hundred glass styles. I walked out of the stores after much checking, in disbelief.

I have a nose bridge that is slightly less of a problem than some other Asians (well, they tend to get this problem)... I have some choice since I have work related health care benefit for glasses that might cost a wee bit more. But that has not really helped me so far.

Yea, a sister of mine in her 40's wore glasses meant for teens because of her face small size.

If you are looking for reading glasses, I don't know a soul who gets them made by an optician. You just need your eye doctor to give you your prescription for reading, i.e. do you need 1.50, 2.00, 2.50? Or, go into a drugstore and try on a few and see what works! You could go to a shop and get your head and nose bridge measured, as you will need those measurements to order online. Go back to the store and have someone help you. Try on a few, have them measure you and you'll get an idea of what you want and what fits. It will be clear to the salesperson that your head is too small for what they have. They may try to convince you, but stand firm.
