I got no sunburn! I was able to apply it myself and it did cool me down for a second or two. But don't breathe it in. Nope. Bad idea. Thanks, Megan. Because of your timely advice I was able to be on vacation and not come home crispy or hurting. Got some of that sunblock just before I went to Key West. I got no sunburn!

I LOVE them. The person who helped me picked perfect frames to flatter my face. All of their frames are gorgeous and unusual. My frames were around $200.

I got a pair at Envision Optometry (across street from Bellevue Square). I love my glasses. I almost went to Market Optical, but everytime I walk in there I feel all the $$$$ drain from my account. ProDesigns are modern and very affordable ($200 range). I saw that someone mentioned ProDesign. I got a pair at Envision Optometry (across street from Bellevue Square). I love my glasses.

They are pricey but great because my eyes afre close together and I almost need child-sized frames, but I found a pair of these that work! They are handmade in germany and have no screws.

Last year I bought at least five of them because I kept seeing them on sale, and they're expensive full price. My husband spent a lot of time looking at me askance and asking why I kept buying sunscreen! I am obsessed with the Cooling Body Mist sunscreen.

I have the same problem so finding something thin has always been an issue. My current frame of choice is the Modo 223; next up will be the 513 and the 518 - the latter of which has a slightly thicker earpiece, but I love them so much I'm willing to give it a try.

Have only just started - most of the lens shapes seemed fairly narrow, which doesn't look good on me. The designer ones (dior, versace, etc) had the large earpieces, often with their logo. Like I want to be a walking billboard to advertise for them after paying the hefty price! The ones I currently wear may not be au currant lens-shape wise, but I think they look alright, plus they have a magnet on each side to attach the shades. Thanks for your inquiry - I will check out some brands mentioned by your other posters. Good luck on your search. I'm going through the eyeglass search as well.

My trouble isn't so much finding something I like as it is that all the frames these days are very chunky, and the earpieces bother me. My current pair have very thin ear pieces which fit in the space between my ear and my head, they're perfect. But anything too thick and I'm all <i>aware</i> of it, and it gives me a tension headache. So really, I'm being fussy about it. Thanks for all the advice on where to look for frames.

Much more affordable than Market Optical and equally great. Kitty corner from Patagonia. Check out Ottica on First Ave for frames. Much more affordable than Market Optical and equally great.

Seems like a strange location (between a copy shop and a peroshiky shop) but I have had great luck with nice frames and you even usually get a pair for free (granted the free pair aren't name brand, but hey, if I need to change it up for a day, it works great!).
