Glad to hear that some vendors can accommodate my prescription! As for stylish, here are some that I've looked at and liked recently: http://www.eyeglasses.com/instock/glasses/oliver-peoples/score.html http://www.eyeglasses.com/instock/glasses/ray-ban-glasses/rx-5121.html http://www.eyeglasses.com/instock/glasses/neostyle/college-294.html http://www.eyeglasses.com/instock/glasses/smilen-eyewear/2056.html http://www.eyeglasses.com/instock/glasses/modo-m/2024.html http://www.zennioptical.com/cart/product.php?productid=854&cat=13&page=1 http://www.zennioptical.com/cart/product.php?productid=1387&cat=13&page=2
I tend to like a slight cat's eye curve or angle, and thick edges. I know that my lenses should be small and round so I try to look for glasses that keep the curve on the inside and use the frame to create any angle. I don't like overly designed bows. And I tend to like heavier looking glasses but need them to be smaller to stay proportionate to my face. Thank you!
