Also my face is very petite.

Diamond Vision will find the absolute best frame for your face. But the lenses will make the cost more than you quoted.

Eyeglasses 99 on coney island ave between I and J (closer to J). Will fill your request, and likely for less.

We had a great experience with MS Optical on 16'th Ave., great service, custom fitting, very accommodating, well priced.
I travel in to Brooklyn especially for their service and good fit for my special needs little one!

Try Minzer's. You'll have to look them up. I don't have the number. I'm sorry.
When I lived in the city, I used them. They make the glasses on the spot and for a quarter of the price you'll pay elsewhere.

Yes I went to minzers today, but couldn’t find a frame I liked. The frames I did like they wouldn’t do them in my prescription.

The thing is that since I have a petite face all the frames are too large.
Also the smaller the frame the thinner the glass
My prescription is -13.

With glasses, cheap isn’t usually good

Is $200 considered too cheap

This is my situation exactly. Also looking for frames. It’s so hard to find the right ones, especially with such hideous styles popular nowadays. I’ve looked in optics stores in Brooklyn, Chicago, Kiev, and Lviv, and I couldn’t find anything that fit my face properly.

If you're willing to spend, Diamond Vision has won awards for finding best fit. When our tiny 3 year old needed glasses we went all over and nothing fit. He gave us perfect frames. He does a great job picking out glasses for me too.

Another vote for Diamond Vision. He literally looks at your face and can pick out a few frames to choose from that are all a good fit. Caveat is he is pricey.

I have the same issue with a small petite face. I recently got glasses by Minzers, they had a section of women's glasses right next to the counter that had a bunch of smaller frames that I only noticed after being there for a while.

DH got glasses at diamond vision for 600 bux. Never saw such numbers in my life. Nothing complicated with his prescription.

They're good. But pricey.
If you're looking for better prices- I'm sure there are places that do a great job
For less.

I'm glad! I travel 2.5 hours with my kids to get glasses from him. It's a great savings and worth the trip!
