Mere has such a flat nose that only the wire frames with the adjustable nose pads will work for her. She will probably need new glasses before school starts up and we'll get the same basic kind of glasses.
One of my big complaints is that most optometrists do not do a very good job of fitting glasses either when you order them or when you pick them up. We went to lens crafters and I had to nudge them into adjusting them properly behind the ear and at the nose. Since I've been wearing glasses since I was 13, I know a few things about how glasses should fit. I also have a small/narrow nose and need glasses with the adjustable nose piece.
You might want to ask her periodically how her glasses are fitting. Since kids are much more active than adults, they need to be adjusted/tightened more often than adult glasses. Properly fitted/adjusted glassess are more likely to worn.
Just as an FYI - WalMart has a sale for two pair of glasses for $80: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/catalog.gsp?cat=546954
