Bit of a random question, do sunglasses come in different sizes? Normal glasses frames come in different fittings for different head sizes, but sunglasses don't seem to? Am I missing something?

hmmm, sounds like i'll get some ordered in then. I can't work out how companies can sell them online if they come in different sizes, unless they just send out lots of 'average' sized pairs.

Has anyone got any recommendations on straps to stop the risk of sports sunglasses coming off?

The number refers to the size of the lenses, so if it's 50, it means each lens is 50mm accross at it's widest point.

If there's a second number (eg 50-18) it means the width of the bridge is 18mm.
