    Interesting...

    I just became aware of the game of Snooker when I vacationed in Scotland last summer.

    Played it..and was taught the origin and meaning of the games name.

    Those Snooker specs look perfect for the job!

    Because the player's posture is such that their head is tilted downward but the eyes are raised upwards to see the length of the table, the lens needs to be positioned higher with more lens above the eyes than below. Same as for a shooter who's looking through a scope.

    A top-rimless half eye frame will do the job nicely- just customize the depth of the lenses to the wearer's requirements. You can even put a small bif. seg in them, ie. golf glasses- so the player can see near if required.

    Why not use a custom shape in one of your may rimless frames?

    Question

    Is snooker the same as pool? Would the same glasses work?

    Did anyone notice that those snooker specs are just regular glasses upside down with the nosepads adjusted and the temples adjusted. :hammer:
