Australian Polarised Sunglasses for Big Heads: The Balmoral by Ozeano
The perfect sunglasses for large heads
Finding sunglasses that fit comfortably can be a struggle, especially for those with larger head sizes. Too often, sunglasses are designed with standard measurements, leaving people with big heads grappling with frames that pinch, slide, or fail to provide adequate coverage. But Ozeano, a leader in sustainable eyewear, has tackled this issue head-on with its Balmoral shape—an ideal solution for those seeking comfort, premium quality, and style in one package.
Combining advanced design, sustainable & premium materials, and polarised lens technology, Ozeano's Balmoral sunglasses are the perfect choice for Australians with larger noggins who want comfortable glasses.
Why the Right Fit is Essential
Sunglasses are more than just a fashion accessory—they’re a daily necessity in Australia's sun-soaked climate. Ill-fitting sunglasses can lead to discomfort and reduce their effectiveness in protecting your eyes.
For individuals with larger heads, some common challenges include:
- Pinching Around Temples: Frames that are too narrow create uncomfortable pressure points.
- Constant Slipping: Poorly designed frames may slide down the nose, especially during active use.
- Insufficient Coverage: Small lenses may not fully shield the eyes and surrounding skin from UV rays.
Unlike other brands, Ozeano’s Eyewear features flexible bio-acetate that moulds to your head and the Balmoral shape in particular has a longer frame length, ensuring comfort and protection for larger heads.
Why Polarised Sunglasses Are a Must in Australia
Australia’s intense sunlight demands the best in eye protection. Polarised lenses are particularly valuable because they reduce glare caused by sunlight reflecting off flat surfaces such as water, roads, and sand.
This makes polarised sunglasses ideal for:
- Driving: Enhance visibility and reduce eye strain, even in bright conditions.
- Outdoor Adventures: Whether at the beach, bushwalking, or fishing, they improve clarity and color contrast.
- Everyday Wear: Protect eyes from long-term UV damage and offer a more comfortable visual experience.
Ozeano equips all their sunglasses with high-performance polarised lenses that block 100% of harmful UVA and UVB rays, ensuring your eyes are always protected. We don’t bother to sell non-polarised eyewear as it’s just inferior and rarely required (unless you’re flying a plane and need a pair of sunnies whilst also reading your screen dials).
The Balmoral: Sunglasses designed for medium to large heads
Ozeano’s Balmoral shape is specifically crafted to meet the needs of those with larger head sizes. This design balances practicality and aesthetics, offering a comfortable fit that complements broader face shapes.
Please note though that all Ozeano frames feature innovative bio-acetate material that is superior in comfort to plastic and flexible.
Key Features of the Balmoral
1. Wider Frame Design - 56mm
The Balmoral boasts a wider frame width, ensuring a relaxed fit without the uncomfortable pinching typical of narrower frames. The carefully calculated dimensions provide both comfort and coverage, even during extended wear.
2. Flexible Bio-Acetate Material
One of the standout features of Ozeano’s Balmoral sunglasses is the use of flexible bio-acetate. Unlike traditional plastics, this plant-based material offers several advantages:

- Flexibility: The material adjusts naturally to the contours of your face, providing a secure yet gentle fit.
- Eco-Friendly: Bio-acetate is made from renewable plant-based resources, aligning with Ozeano’s commitment to sustainability.
