    Confused Desperately Seek Narrow Bridge!!

    I have a patient that needs a 14/15mm bridge, in a plastic/zyl material. It also needs to have color, but she doesn't like brown or black. I need a good B measurement to best fit her progressive lenses. Please let me know if you have any ideas as I am out...

    If she's older I have always gone to the Sillhouette SPX frames.

    Ugh, I had a similar issue just a few weeks ago! Those can be tough fits! I had found some in Zyloware's Via Spiga collection, namely Arezzo, Domicella, Striano, and Volterra. Good luck!


    If you need something even smaller, Daisy Fuentes Adriana has a 13mm with a 29 B.

    It also has to be rounder, not purple as shes worn purple for the last 6 years, can't be one of those with temporal color that fades to clear at the bridge... I can't get any of the brands you guys reccomended, but I really appreciate the responses. At this point I'm about to beg the doc to fit her for cls... And she is older...

    Zyloware is typically available through the labs.
