You have to balance one thing against another.

I like a large lens in that I get a wide field of view. I have a very strong prescription, thus large lenses curve through a lot of solid angle, thus no matter what angle you look at me from there is a strong reflection that obscures my eyes. It makes me feel like I am one of those anime characters whose eyes are hidden behind spiral lines. I think it is more than cosmetic, because it impairs people reading my emotional expressions.

When I go hiking with thin glasses, however, I end up craning my neck down so I can see what is going on in front of my feet. That makes my neck hurt.

In my head, I can easily imagine a model combining all of the above (except, perhaps, weight and a very large lens). Which criteria do think are incompatible?
