You talking like otc readers? We used to have them at Wal-Mart in the Pharmacy. I would check with drugstores. I know I have seen them somewhere before.
Marchon had/or maybe still has a folding half eye frame which can be RX'd. Comes in silver or gold.

We have a ton of foldable frames, all old, and mostly covered in sparkles. I'll see if I can scrounge up a pic of them.

Love is a duet, each voice complementing each other and making them sound better than they would alone, each voice at times stepping back and letting the other shine. We've got a pretty good duet going Tina.
On April 28th, I'll be marrying my best friend. I can't wait!
Didn't Franel used to carry these?
We had a patient just this week come in asking if we had these. He has some from Microvision (http://microvisionoptical.com/) and we ordered a couple more for him. I'm doing some research now to see who else carries them, another company with which we already have an account. I'll post the manufacturers I find.
It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.
We just got in some OTC's that fold...Trendies by Europa. Not too bad. Not sure of any Rx options.
Try Capri Optics, they still carry the SlimFold with all the models. They are priced in a higher bracket.
I came, I saw, I left
But seriously, go with Marchon's offering. :D

I've actually put a pt's rx in Trendies by Europa. Pt loves to gamble & this is just what she needed to put on quickly & read!
thanx for the help everyone! At least I've got a few different places to try....have a great weekend all!
Seiko has a foldable ophthalmic frame. It comes with a custom case that is about the size of a 70mm lens blank.
