In the meantime, try our <a href="http://www.framesdirect.com/qf_main.asp">QuickFind</a> utility. After you select Gender, Material and Type on the first page, you'll be given options to refine your search by Price, Eye Size and Temple Size. Keep in mind that this search utility is in beta and there are still some bugs. Once completed, we will be adding it to the main site. Jim -

It's various tedious working pair by pair looking at Safilo as recommended above to find glasses with long temples. My optometrist suggested I needed 160. Your website would be much easier to use if you offered a SEARCH function based on BUYER's interest such as Temple size, PD size, width, etc. Is there a simple way to search your brands for long temple length frames?

Frame sizes are labeled by the horizontal width of the lens section of the frame, called the "eyesize". Frames with an "eyesize" of greater than 55 mm are usually considered suitable for those with larger heads. A company called <a href="http://www.framesdirect.com/framesfc/Fatheadz-lamikf-pr-l.html">Fatheadz</a> does make a line of eyewear for the wider face.

It is listed on most frames on the FramesDirect.com website. The average is 135 mm - 145 mm. If you believe you require a longer temple length, you will need to look for temple lengths of 150 mm or higher. If you are looking for eyeglasses, I would look at brands like <a href="http://www.framesdirect.com/framesfc/Safilo_Design-lamckj-pr-l.html">Safilo</a> or <a href="http://www.framesdirect.com/framesfc/Charmant-laliob-pr-l.html">Charmant</a>. They have frames with longer lengths. If you are looking for sunglasses, I would recommend taking a look at <a href="http://www.framesdirect.com/framesfc/RayBan-lalhpi-slb-l.html">Rayban</a>, <a href="http://www.framesdirect.com/framesfc/Maui_Jim-lalhng-slb-l.html">Maui Jim</a>, or <a href="http://www.framesdirect.com/framesfc/Serengeti-ogmf-slb-l.html">Serengeti</a>. Hope this helps! Lewis Kyle,

Do you have any suggestions for us LongHeadz? The width of my head is pretty average, but the front to back length of my head is quite another story.
