For your frame selection, your best bet is go with the titanium
frame.
For those Ti frames with the nose pads, they should sit on your nose
bridge better, but they won't be as comfortable.
For those Ti frames without the nose pads, they are a lot more
comfortable, but they might slide down your nose easier, especially
when you sweat. In addition, those are a lot harder to find, also
means they might be relatively more expensive than the one with the
nose pads.
There is one more option which is the rimless (drill mount) Titanium
frame. They are definitely the lightest (comfort), but requires good
workmanship, and your prescription cannot be too high. (Limitation
involved, I would say no more than -3.00 total power)
However, those are not always the cases. My recommendation for your
frame is to try as many on as possible (Ti frame Only), you will find
the right pair frame. It takes time, and efforts, also you need to
add the lens weight into consideration as well. The final product is
always heavier than the frame you choose, no matter how light they
claims.
For the lenses options, I m not sure which type of lenses are you
wearing (single, Bi, Tri, or Progressive). But if you want to have the
thinnest and lightest, you should go with the high index lenses
material. The clarity of the lenses are also pretty high. (Glass is
always the 1st, but heavy, and will shatter, then Plastic, but
thick).
If you are experiencing smudges on your lenses, then don't get any
Anti-Glare coatings, even the best and the newest(teflon based) will
smudge. So the best bet is not to get the AR or AG coatings, in
contrary, i will recommend the new scratch coat which coat the front
and back side of the lenses, giving you dual protection.
I hope my experience and suggestion help you in selecting your next
pair frame and lenses. Please feel free to contact me if you have any
other questions.
