UPDATE 9/5/20: One big downside with my glasses so far is that the "gecko" rubber nosepads starts to deteriorate after about 45 days. When new, the nosepads are hard and over a short period of time they become spongy and bits of rubber start to flake off. This happened with my original nosepads and the replacement ones they sent me (for some reason, it's the right nosepad that's worse off.) This could be because I like to wash my glasses once a night with water and a tiny amount of dish soap (perhaps the water gets trapped) or because it's in contact with the oils on my face. But, ROKA is supposed to be sweatproof, so the nosepads breaking down with water or oil makes no sense to me. I don't think the gecko rubber on the nosepads do much to help the glasses stay on my face so I'd prefer plastic waterproof nosepads that won't disintegrate. ROKA's customer service was great in sending me 2 extra sets of nosepads, but it's not feasible for me to email them every 3 months asking for replacements.
UPDATE 11/5/20: I easily ripped off the disintegrating rubber off the plastic part of the nosepad, so it's just bare plastic on my face and no "Asian Fit" adjustment. It works better than when I tried to the glasses with zero nosepads. I've also bought separate black silicone nosepads off of Amazon, which I prefer, but they only stick on for 2 days and the adhesive starts to fail. My next experiment will be to try to superglue the silicone nosepads to the bare plastic piece-- but silicone needs a special glue to stick to it. My experiment using hot glue and a water-based superglue didn't work. I bought a $3 tube of superglue meant for rubber and it'll be worth a shot. I'll be posting a video on my ROKA sunglasses sometime and I'll include the issues I have with my nosepads.

Having a strong prescription (-6.25) and a low nose bridge makes it difficult for me to find eyeglasses. The frames have to be small so my lenses don’t appear thick and fit my face so the glasses don’t slip down my nose.
I went with ROKA (www.roka.com/) because they’re glasses are lightweight, don’t fall off your face, comes with various size nose pads (great for “Asian Fit”), and have frames that they recommend for strong prescriptions. Table in the link below.

It also helps that I could try on my frames before ordering. Here is my previous video where I tried on four different ROKA frames:

But I was worried that since they only offer 1.67 high index lenses and not 1.74 (which are more expensive, but thinner) that my lens would be thicker than normal.
However, my new lenses are actually thinner compared to my three older glasses. Even though the ROKA Lola Frames have the greatest lens height at 38.5 mm (the website says 40 mm, but I measured 38.5 mm with my calipers) it still has the thinnest lens-possibly because the lens width is smaller, plus the round frame shape.
Overall, if you have a strong prescription, don’t aim for just a narrow frame (small lens height), but look for a combination of round frame + small lens height + small lens width. For me, a lens height between 30 - 40 mm works fine. The frame width should also match the width of your face to decrease the face side distortion.
For ROKA’s high index lenses, they use MR-10 material, made by Mitsui Chemicals in Japan. (I had asked this question in an email.) Here’s where I got my table on the MR Lens series.
