or women. I have a "normal" face..and found the first set to be a bit
narrow.

Zenni has a much wider (double entendre intentional) selection of
frames now. I got 4190 and 4513 frames, both 142mm wide. I think that
earlier frame selections only went to 125 or 130mm. Now they go to
145.

Check 'em out, Mr. Chitlin.

I went with 414812 frames: 141mm wide, but with a bridge 21mm wide.
The reason for the wide bridge is that for the 15 or so years that
I've been wearing progressives, EVERY one of them sat too high on my
face. That forces me, when I want to focus all the way out, to tip my
head forward and look up through the lens. Now, with the wider bridge,
I can adjust the nose pads so that looking straight ahead points my
eyes through the longer distance part of the lens. What a difference.
