    horse frame

    No, not for making horses see better! (Doggles are still haunting my memory)

    I have a patient that is a HUGE equestrian rider. She wants glasses that have something to do with horses. Anything out there?

    Polo would be my first suggestion, also. I can't think of another brand with equestrian details. I did find this, though:

    It's charms that go on the temples, from Ron's Optical.

    Sooo. . . is she actually HUGE, or does she ride HUGE horses. . .? J/K!! :D
    It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.
