    What frames do you sell?? **v.letsdoitagain**

    Based on previous annual threads!
    I am wondering what are the best selling line of frames in your establishment, and what do you retail them for?
    For us: still with Silhouette ($250) Claiborne ($159)

    What about you?

    I sure hope these catarct patients are pseudophakes, I'd hate to think you were putting aphakic lenses in these big frames.

    Hehe yeah that would be bad. I just got tired of explaining bigger is not better to all my pts. So I figured I would give em what they want size 58 60 double bars, and womens frames with jumbo b measurements.

    Most are pts dont even need distance once they leave.

    Silhouette's are #1 here going for $300 + or -... second runner up, probably Ted Baker from $150-$190... Have a hard time keeping Banana Republic on the board as well. Banana's have been nice because of... well name recognition BUT the name isn't plastered all across the temples in size 30 font!!! :p

    For Pseudophakic patient usually we would recommend some simple clip-on or Cocoons fitover as for UV protection after the lens extraction..

    Silhouette running well here, but we still have some other brand like Ic Berlin & Tag Heuer which under high demand as well.
