Glasses Wearers...

I did a search but found nothing so i am afraid it's another question regarding EYES! Well glasses actually...

I found out (at my Class 1 revalidation and then had officially confirmed by the optometrist) that I need glasses. Fortunately I am well within limits.

Being a glasses virgin vanity is, as I am sure it did/does with many others, taking part in the purchasing process! My question is this: is there an official limit to the size of the lenses? Must they go from below cheek bone to above eyebrow in a Dennis Taylor-like fashion? Or is a sleek Sven Goran Erikson style equally acceptable?

Of course safety and practicality are paramount but I would like to strike a balance. It would be good to come home with something other than a set of geek goggles if I can!

Any thoughts on buying your first pair of glasses for aviation (helicopters incidently) greatly recieved.

Ta.
