The Smith Pivlock Overdrive works really well for my very East Asian face: https://www.smithoptics.com/us/c/PivLock%E2%84%A2-Overdrive/p/OVPCDMMOB Lightweight, swappable lenses, and has really good grip when wet with sweat. Currently on my second pair.
I also ran the Oakley half jacket "Asian fit" for a long time: https://www.oakley.com/en-us/product/W0OO9153 IMO that sits better on the nose than the Smiths but they're a bit heavier and slips more when wet than the Smiths. --Ed C.
