Ok, this guy has got to get the award for the most honest description of an ophthalmic frame I've seen on e-bay yet. I especially like the "...the you pull it out and say, "I didn't mean that big"..." part.

This one's a classic:

WARNING: PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU READ THE ITEM DESCRIPTION. IF YOU ARE NOT AN OPTICIAN OR PLANNING TO USE THIS AS A COSTUME OR HAVE PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH THIS FRAME PREVIOUSLY THERE IS ALMOST A 100% CHANCE THAT YOU ARE NOT GOING TO LIKE THIS FRAME. Franel Model Gigante. This frame is the largest ophthalmic quality (that is, this is actually made to put Rx ophthalmic lenses in it) frame that we have ever seen. It looks much bigger (much more enormous) to us in real life than it does in the pictures (as far we are concerned) because you have no reference in the picture (but see measurements further below and you can compare that to your frame). This is generally made for the person with an extraordinarily large head. Perhaps it is made for someone with acromegaly; we do not know for sure. Make sure you know what you are ordering before you order this one as otherwise the odds that it will be too big for you is almost 100% (these are massive in regard to size) (you are saying to yourself, oh no, I like glasses as large as possible; you have never seen these and these will be the first ones that you say, well, ok, i love large glasses but not that large; really if you are not familiar with these and/or don't really know how to judge the measurements forget it) (so seriously people, don't order these if you don't know what these are and even if you are sure you like glasses as big as possible and even if you have never once in your life tried on a pair of glasses that you thought was big enough because you have never experienced wearing something like these before) (we are just trying to warn you over and over so you don't order something there is almost no chance that will fit and this is only for experienced Gigante former wearers). They are zyl ( plastic ). As far as describing the color is concerned, would just look at the pictures as you should be able to tell from those pretty well. Franel Gigante Eyeglasses Eyeglass Eye Glasses Frame. If you are in the optical / optician / opticianry business, you could also purchase this to have on hand when clients complain you do not offer big enough frames. You pull this one out and then when they say, well I didn't mean this big, you can tell we have a full array of sizes so keep a lid on it. Eye size (greatest width) estimate of about approximately 68 mm. Vertical lens height (maximum height) estimate of about approximately 54 mm. Bridge size estimate of about approximately 24 mm. Temple length estimate of about approximately 195 mm (incredibly long). Made in Italy. This is new but may have been on display so may have been tried on.
