Gonna order a pair of Costa prescription sunglasses. Still need to try some on but I’m curious what frames the Fire likes. I know these are highly reviewed.

DOn't do it . Costa used to be family owned, they sold out and the company that bought them has horrific customer service.
They were getting RX's wrong and losing glass frames. I went with Maui Jims ... better glass and better customer service.

LOL,
Back on topic,
They have many different frames and many different fits,
It’s all about the fit, get to a store that has a large selection and try them on.
Fathoms and Brine for me.

I’ve had two pairs of Costas and the rubber on the arms fell apart.
I won’t buy them again. YMMV

I got a big Mellon.
Last pair i got were the Ferg XL.
I like them.
Also check out Bajio sunglasses.
Started by a former Costa employee after they were bought out.
I’ve got a couple pair.
You can get glass lenses in those also.

I have the Costa Fantail and like them they seem to fit my somewhat large squarish face better than most frames.

My favorite sunglasses frame are my RayBan Daddio.
Order the sunglasses online, take to your optical shop for prescription lenses.
If you take the time it takes, it takes less time.

I only wear Maui Jim’s, my son has a couple pair of Costa Jose’s and I like them ok. Quality is no where close to my kipahulu’s though.

Free safety shades from the job. Work well and are dirt cheap.
