Cable conversion temple covers
Can anyone hook me up with a pair? Or know where I can find just one pair? I have a little 6 year old patient who needs them desperately and they are not available where I work. She has some disabilities and the cables really help keep the glasses on her little head. The frames she has do not have cable temples so I would just like a pair of the cable temple covers. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Sanks.

Chip, I will let you into the secret. Many of the young Optiboard members do not even know anything about these babies. So I found this nice description and posted it for general information.
The case is solved with the help from Fezz and from you, plus using the occasion to let the others know about an item that used to be standard in glasses. :cool:
By the way ..............do you know how to shorten a "riding bow temple" properly ?????
the big box store strikes again.

I feel for the opticians that work at these places. I worked at one as well. I was also told I could not get the supply items I needed; temple covers, files, extractors. You know that stuff that allows us to do our jobs properly.
Do what I ended up doing. Open an account with a supply company like Optical Warehouse of Tampa or Stormin Normins. Then when you need something you can order it your self and have it shipped to your home. I would explain the situation to my customer and had them pay me my invoice cost in cash. Most of the supply companies will take credit cards so usually an account number is not needed anyway.
My best moments were when my manager wanted to use something I had bought and I would use the opportunity to say "see even you need this item to bad its mine"
or the other one is,
MANAGER saying: "I didn't know we had one of theses hand tools."
ME: "YOU DON'T"
Some more on the subject................
And by the way these temples are easy to adjust.......................
To straighten them you pull them over a rounf wooden pencil against the curl..................and to tightem them you do the same thing the opposite way "with the curl" and you can make the temple fit an ear curve to perfection.
