Sunglasses with low clamp force? (lemmy.world)

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?

I just try different frames on until I find one that fits. Brand name is irrelevant. They all make frames in different sizes.

    OP specifically requested tips for brands to try...

    And I am going to disagree with you on brands, they are very relevant, manufacturers often use brands to group specific styles and features by brands.

    So finding brands to try is a very good way to get started.

    Also, not all opticians carry glasses from all brands in the showroom, so without tips you may miss a good brand that carries the perfect frame.

    That being said I won't simply buy a pair of glasses just because they are a specific brand.
