So now you get to see what I look like!

The first two photos are my current specs; the side view is to show how thick they are even with high index len$e$. I pretty much need silicone nose pads to get my glasses to stay up, so my choices in plastic frames are pretty limited. With all the stuff I need in my Rx, glasses tend to run me over $750 even with insurance, and these will be more because I will have to pay 100% for the $240 + tax frames. These need to be 10/10 for me to get them.

These frames are dark brown on the outside and turquoise/aqua on the inside. I rarely wear brown, but my eyes are brown. I can wear turquoise/aqua but I don't; if I wear blue it is not that warm but definitely not a cool blue.

These specs also come in other colors: Violet w/salmon; black w/white; tomato red w/white. They only had the violet in stock, but the color doesn't read properly on my monitor. I can wear tomato red but I was worried that one would see only the frames and not me. I wear a lot of gray and black'n'white, but somehow felt that black frames would be predictable. And harsh.

I've just started the search. Dunno how to use Warby Parker. I need 20mm below my eyes to fit the progressive part of my progressive lenses.

Please weigh in. Thanks for any and all opinions!!!
