I’m looking for sunglasses that don’t press on my temples or the side of my head. I don’t have a large or wide head, but my head and scalp are so sensitive that most headphones and sunglasses give me nauseating headaches. Currently I have a pair of vintage Italian sunglasses that are lightweight and fairly wide, and otherwise some Milwaukee safety glasses with flexible rubber arms - comfortable, but not at all my aesthetic.
Any brands you can recommend? Or should I just look for other sunglasses for people with wide faces?
Most optometrist offices can adjust the temples for you, and (at least for glasses they sold you) will usually do it for free. You should find a pair that fits the best you can and take it to your optometrist. It only takes a few minutes, and if you find the fit is still too tight afterwards, take them back and ask them to try again.
Most of the time the optometrist is just bending the frame, which you can do yourself as long as you’re not a gorilla about it.
Run it under hot water first. It makes it more pliable.
