I wear eyeglasses. one of those odd little things I've been thinking about is will female glasses fit me or will I have to continue to buy male glasses? It's not that big of a deal. There are some nice male glasses, but there are some even nicer female ones. Just a random question. thx
I do OK with most women's styles LJP, and I do have a large head in many ways (hat size, for one). Women's styles come in a range of target size ranges, some small, some medium to large. Also, there are some styles that are unisex (for want of a better term), they tend to fit both sexes equally.
You might want to check out www.zennioptical.com. They have fantastic low prices, I bought several pairs over the summer. I am completely happy with their products. I bought some that were clearly fem, some that were unisex. I wear the unisex styles even in guy mode on some days. You will need to know your own prescription to order from them.

Zenni item #236026
Thx joules. I was about to buy new glasses. I was curious.
I'll add another endorsement for zenni optical. The prices are low enough that it's possible to get different glasses for different looks. I have 3 different optical prescriptions that I use, so it's nice to be able to get 3 pairs of glasses for under $100.
I have an extremely wide dome. I tried a bunch of the wide offerings from Warby Parker and Rivet and Sway. Most didn't work for me, still too tight or disproportionate. I did end up getting these (https://s-media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/95/f3/2a/95f32abbfd9f668566ab9e6b1ffd7a03.jpg) from R & S. They're a little tight, but look ok (I'm wearing them in my profile pic).
This week I tried these on (https://s-media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/2f/5b/6c/2f5b6c5474ffc4a0d25c206537edb55f.jpg). Ooooh, they fit sooo goood (like they're actually wide enough), and looked good, so I will def be getting them. I would recommend Biggu.
Thx Ande . I will check those out. I've allways had a hard time finding glasses that didn't fit tight. So I assumed female frames would be out of the question. I'm glad I was wrong. Btw those glasses look great on you.
