Default Best Boro eye glasses for a small face???

I need to get some dedicated boro glasses but all of the sites I go to you cannot tell what size they are.

Any recommendations for SMALL size boro glasses?

Not super pricey would be great too!

Finding the right glasses is hard to do over the web. I bought some clip on shades and they were too dark then I bought some 'fit overs' (they fit over my readers) they were good but needed adjusting so I took them to the eye glass store where they adjusted free of charge. Sometimes they charge a small fee. I really like to try mine before I buy because if they need to much adjustment it can't be done I will look to see what my brand is because they are good even if you don't where glasses.

I would recommend the boros from Philips. I am very happy with my wraparounds. They fit right over my prescriptions. They do have clip ons as well. They might work out best if you are a hard fit.

hi , I have a small face/head and have been happy with the fitovers. I did add some moleskin nose pads and a cord that has an adjustable snug to hold them comfortably against my head, otherwise they slipped down my nose. With just those minor additions, I LOVE them!

I have the Philips visor with the boro & the didy lenses. I've now lost the boro lens. Does anyone know where I can buy a replacement boro lens? FIY, this is the visor

I have the wale s/b's the purple wrap arounds and they fit pretty good. I wear very small prescription glasses under them and that might be why they fit good.
