Does anyone have problems finding the right size eye glasses?

I've had this problem for years. The longest temple length they make is usually 150. I need something closer to 160 length. It seems the trend in the industry is to make glasses as small as possible and it doesn't make any sense. I don't think people's heads are getting any smaller!
I'm forced to wear contacts instead because of this :(
Who else has a big head here???

Don't you find contacts easier to deal with though? I haven't worn glasses in SOOO long, once i got contacts i just got rid of all my glasses.

I do like contacts better in mocst ways but there are times when glasses work out better. If I go out for the night to a smokey place, I prefer to wear glasses then. When I wake up early in the morning and want to check the threads on A.T., I'd rather just take a split second to put on my glasses.

I haven't yet, but it may become an issue soon.

I'm going to an optometrist on the 27th, & if I get a prescription (which I probably will), finding glasses for my big head will be a pain. I'm hoping to get by with contacts, but I don't know how well I will react to them.
