I’ve noticed that I’ve been getting headaches much more frequently lately. I began to worry that was developing a brain tumor, so I called Dr. Clint, who ruled out the possibility of the tumor and told me that I probably am having tension headaches due to my sunglasses pinching my head right above my ears.
I like the trend of sunglasses with large frames, because I feel like it should be easier to find glasses that don’t look or fit too small on my large head. Unfortunately, it’s not working out this way. I’ve bought two different pairs of glasses, both of which ended up pinching. (To be more honest, I didn’t buy the second pair. Leslie gave them to me, even though they were actually Mom’s.) So now I have to look for a new pair.
I hate sunglasses shopping like most people hate swimsuit shopping. I usually end up trying on a million pairs, and leaving with nothing but a reinforced “big head” complex. HOWEVER, I can’t keep wearing my current glasses, and driving and walking without sunglasses is out of the question for even one more day.
To be sure that my new glasses won’t put any tension stress on the sides of my head, I think I’m going to look for something more like this:

Hope you have good luck sunglass shopping!

I am the opposite! I go through racks and racks to find sunglasses SMALL enough for my skinny head. I’ve gotten several pairs in the kids section.
Though I will say, the next-to-last pair I got even pinched me, so I don’t know how they could have been comfortable for anyone else. I finally spent about 30 minutes in a trucker gas station (they always have lots of sunglasses) and didn’t leave til I found the perfect pair. Mine have one more requirement: they have to cover up my normal glasses without looking weird.

Ha! You make me laugh.

Your head is normal lindsey…I am sure you’ve looked here, but I have the most sunglasses success at Target.

I got some from Target…so far they’re working well, but time will tell. Do glasses shrink over time like blue jeans? Maybe that’s what’s been happening to me.
