Ask HN: Prescription glasses which optimize function over fashion

Traditional glasses appear to prioritize looks over function. I am not a professional optician, but I imagine a pair of glasses which optimize function over form to meet at least some of the following criteria:

  - Large lens to maximize field-of-view
  - Cup-shaped lens to optimize distance from eye at all angles
  - Thin shafts to enable lying in bed and using headphones
  - Minimal sized frame (although should be mostly outside of field-of-view anyway)
  - Light
Price and design are irrelevant. Contacts is, unfortunately, not an option.

Are there are any such glasses available? Is my assessment wrong?
