    Heres a frame challenge

    I have customer that only wears glass st28's and is a +8.00 ou. He won't switch to a lighter material. He wants a frame that has 6 barrel hinges and a unifit bridge. Currently wearing an old corsair 52 eyesize. Would like his next frame to be a 50 or smaller with a unifit bridge and six barrel hinges. Due to the weight of his lenses, the spring hinges flex too much. Any suggestion besides the obvious ...switch material.

    2nd customer is looking for a semi-rimless Clubman/Clubmaster. Rayban had one but now they are discontinued.

    Thanks for help
    Kenneth

    For customer # 2.....Bellagio 699 52-18 semi-rimless. I don't know who supplies that line in the states but I believe it's available.
