You can see my thread in the general forum, but I went out looking at lots of sunglasses today and discovered some things.

ANY pair, practically, that has the plastic frames hurts my head if they are the type that curve back around (like nearly all cycling glasses). There are one or two pair that are closer to straight that don't hurt, but I really didn't like the style much (want interchangeable lenses and large wraparound frames).

I also found that thin flexible wire frame type did not seem to bother me.

So....the trick is to find thin wraparound types that are large frame wrap around (cycling) style with thin flexible wire frames. I didn't find any when "out and about" today...not even at sunglasses hut.

But did find these two from Nashbar online that I may try..not sure yet.

The only thing I don't like about these (even though they are both fairly cheap) is that they do not mention being polarized which I would really like as Florida is REALLY BRIGHT most times.
