    Models don't get discontinued, they become deceased.
    Anyone want to take a guess at what the cases will look like.

    How would you like to be a peddler for this company? What would you say to the frame buyer? Could you keep a straight face?

    This is just the kind of “thinking inside the box” the optical industry needs to do in order to stay profitable.
