You wouldn't like my own spectacles...but being VERY short-sighted the glass is too thick for thin rims.
I'm that way too! My left eye is so bad that I've been called next to blind in it. Still there are some thin-rimmed glasses that will handle those thicker lenses. The idea is to decrease the size of the lense. Glasses like that of Le Pen with the big wide lenses have to get really thick at the edges for people like us. So I reduced the size of the lense and the frame that managed that was, I think, made in Europe (maybe Japan) called Tura model M7+. I like 'em!
