Large Square frames for prescription eye glasses?

Question

i am on the hunt to get large square frames for my eyeglasses. i've been searching for months now and had no luck. i have about a month before i go to my next optometrist appointment and instead of having to pick from their selection of frames i really want to just bring in my own. An example of what i would like the frames to look like:

Answer 1

Usually,I really don't like big eyeglasses on people,it's not the 1980s anymore.If that's what you want,go for it,but if I were you,I'd get square frames,but smaller ones that still look good,but weigh a lot less because nobody wants all that weight on their face at once,that's why nobody really wears big eyeglasses anymore.

Answer 2

The larger the frame, the thicker the lenses for any given Rx, and the effect is even worse for square frames. (It's the diagonal measure that's critical)

I'm not saying don't do it, but if you have an Rx of any significant power, you may have to invest in high-index lenses, and you'd still have a better overall appearance with a smaller frame.
