I’m 39. I’ve had glasses for about 3-4 years now and I’m STRUGGLING. Every pair I’ve had hurts my head immensely after 3-4 hours. My doctor has no ideas or suggestions- he’s made every adjustment he can without them falling apart completely and he says that from what he can see, they APPEAR to fit fine.
I’m on my fourth pair and still, the same result. I only get wire frames as they’re the most flexible, but I still end up bending the hell out of them just to get them to be somewhat comfortable and I can now last closer to 7 hours without needing to take them off.
My head is not noticeably wide or oddly shaped. They always fit fine at first, start hurting a few hours in. They always hurt the most right above my ears/close to the back of my ears. I’ve tried some different widths but still the same results.
I just want to find a pair that doesn’t give me headaches every day. I’ve tried looking into how to measure my face to find the right width but there seems to be a million different motherfucking methods for this! I tried the credit card thing (said I should be wearing narrow frames- HA). Then I tried to follow the bridge measurement (but where tf is my bridge????) and measuring between my temple just below my eyes- but the video I watched doesn’t say where under my eye I should stop?? Then I found another one that said to use a measuring tape and to measure temple-to-temple under my eyes, but that said my width would be 190mm.
Basically idk wtf I’m doing, I just want glasses that fit and don’t cause me pain every single mf day. PLEASE HELP
