Ombraz, instead of arms they just have a string that goes around your head and can be adjusted. They're super comfortable and durable, love mine.

Ideal from Malaysia. No pressing.

I wear the fit-over ones, so they are larger, and made to usually go over prescription glasses.

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.

I have a giant head. I am the reason hat makers say "One size fits most." Most sunglasses hurt to wear.

I second Maui Jim, but those are pricey. Really what youre looking for are decent sunglasses with wide, metal frames and spring hinges at the temples. Then you very carefully and very slowly bend out the end pieces, the metal arms between the lenses and the hinges. It's more difficult than it sounds because you'll likely not bend them straight out at first. They'll be a little tilted on your face. This is why you go real slow, making a lot of tiny adjustments till they feel and look right.

Sunglass shops will do this for you. They have pliers with plastic teeth that dont mark the metal. My Maui Jims were adjusted this way for me. Now when I buy glasses I carefully DIY it.

I wish you luck!

I have prescription glasses, and I get prescription sunnies as well.

I wear glasses 98% of the time I am awake, I have done so for decades.

I fell in love with two brands in 2022.

1. Lindbergs - these are my main glasses, they are extremely lightweight and have no detectable clamping pressure. These are the frames I use: https://lindberg.com/en/product/aaron I use fully black / navy blue frames and I love the construction, the design is amazing, there are zero screws in them, it is just a wire that is bent to shape. The material is strong yet flexible, I have just ordered my third pair of frames, and next time I will reuse my first pair.
2. Persol - Classic Italian eyewear, they have a bit more clamping force, which I like as they feel more secure during wind. I have currently ordered the PO1027S with gunmetal frames and custom lenses with brown tint.

These are not cheap glasses, but after a decade of using cheap glasses and getting more disappointed with them, while at the same time having the means to get these brands, I am extremely happy I did.

Have a look at Maui Jim Sugar Beach if you can still find them. They are very light and very low clamping force. But they do have some soft rubber at the end to keep them not slipping off your head. Good luck.
