I've got a pair of Tonic sunglasses and the lenses are great but the frame is a nightmare, seems badly designed...the arms are too wide and don't clamp onto my head so I have to wear them with lanyward which is a nightmare. The end result is that I don't wear them much. Anyone know whether I can change the frame with heat or something else so they clamp properly?
I can't see why you couldn't gently heat the arms and bend them.
I do that with cheap reading glasses when one arm breaks and i only have the wrong side to fix with. I bend the loop for the ear to go the other way.

They're exy, so didn't want to bugger them up.

You might be able to supaglue something(eg light gauge wire, thin piece of plastic etc ) inside the hinge joint so they cant open as wide.
Unfortunately plastic frames usually are pretty difficult to adjust, the arms sometimes can be warmed and bent but the main frames will spring back to their original shape. You could try your local optometrist to adjust them. I tend to go with metal frames because of this.
One of the sad signs of our times is that we have demonized those who produce, subsidized those who refuse to produce and canonized those who complain.

Try using a small strip of duralon / foam rubber glued to the inside of the ear bends.....
