    Tortoise Round

    Need Help - I get a huge call for round tortoise zyl's
    Does anyone know where I can get a round tortoise zyl??
    Like the polo 420 or 72/n , However, I will not order any polo's from Safilo for obvious reasons.
    Are oliver people's any good? If their decent quality does anyone have the contact info?

    thanks

    Tort. Round

    Thanks Chris.
    Unfortunately they don't have any round styles. I thought that's what they were famous for, anyway, back to the drawing board.

    If you can find something you like in a roundish, p3, or even oval, its not very hard to re-shape them into round. If you don't want to do it yourself, your lab can do it for you.

    Call Anglo American Optical 1-800-753-9727 and ask for a catalog or if they have a web site you can visit.

    There's actually a nice hush-puppies that fits the bill perfectly. I don't know the model number, but I'm sure your Kenmark rep would. It's fairly new.

    Thanks for the replies. The Anglo Americans are what I'm after. Just waiting to hear back from them.

    Thanks again. I'm going with Anglo American. They have the most variety and are exactly what will do well in my area.
