Hi,
I’m sunglasses shopping after trashing my second pair of aviator Ray Bans.
I love the aviator style and love the RBs I had but they leave big indentations either side of my nose.
I can’t seem to alter them to stop this.
I tried Ralph aviators which were beautiful but sat too proud on my face.
Any tips or help please?

I’ll link to my faves if that helps.
I don’t seem to wear plastic frames very well as they just slide off my face?!Confused I did try the RB Cats but had this problem and had to sell them on.

I’d get the optician to adjust the frame to fit, like you would with a pair of glasses.

So you don’t think it’s the style? I don’t wear glasses so am not very familiar with opticians. Would they do this with glasses bought elsewhere I wonder?

If you like the aviator style, look at Randolph Engineering (also sometimes marketed as American Optical). Official suppliers to the aviation branches of all the US services.
They have metal frames in a variety of colours, 2 types of earpiece, adjustable nose pieces & 3 lens sizes in a variety of colours.
