Hi Julia, My prescription is an unusual one, OD-9.00 OS-4.50. Another family member is OD-13.50 OS-11.75.
Between us, we've ordered a lot of glasses online. The prescription in every pair of lenses from 39 Dollar Glasses, Coastal Contacts, and Zenni has been spot on. I have a wide head, and have noticed that Zenni and 39 Dollar seem to have quite a few frames that are too narrow for me, but might be right for you. Although my head is wide, the bridge of my nose is small and narrow, so, like you, I need nosepads to get a perfect fit. Finding frames with a narrow bridge is not always easy, but is worth the effort. They not only fit better, but, as has been discussed in another thread here, the lenses are better centered on your pupils, and thus aren't as thick at the outside edge. Coastal has many selections that appear to be designer closeouts, and turn over frequently, so they may be worth checking more than once. I splurged and bought one pair from http://www.coolframes.com/ and was very pleased. The frames aren't cheap, but they have a large selection of up-to-date and unusual designer frames at a discount. My 1.67 high- index lenses (house-brand) with all coatings included, were $94, and perfect. I chose a French-made Lafont frame for $250. For less than $350, I got a handsome, unusual pair of glasses that would have cost me well over $1000 at a high-end local boutique. Good luck, and have fun shopping!
