What do you Wear?

**edKENdance** · 03-23-2001, 10:13 PM

OK, so I have a more immature side. I was wondering what you all wear and why(we're talkin' glasses) I have to admit that I switched to contacts last year so all I wear now are plano suns. I sport Maui Jim Kahunas for the brighter days and Serengeti Autobahns for overcast. I am interested in seeing the new Serengeti 555 series even though I'm not partial to green lenses(I'm just glad to see them branching out) They used to make their lenses in Winnipeg when Corning had a plant here. Any exotic frames? Anyone grind their own from quartz that they found on summer vacation? Exotic frames made from trees that no longer inhabit our planet? Just throwin' the fun around.

This line isn't one I have it is one I am looking for. Does anyone know anything about the Billy Brock line? I thought they were made by Tura but there is nothing on the Tura website about them.

Note: If your contact make you more sensative to sunlight, something's wrong with the fit.

Having said this, Paragon makes some contacts just for sun protection. And 30 years ago we just used to go to the plexiglass place and buy black sheet and make contacts out of it. Made a great sunglass but made one look dilated all the time.

Jo..I have all the Billy Brock info at work. I will send it to you Monday. He is in Texas. He does the austrian crystals in the lenses for Tura frames. They are shown in the Tura catalog.

Anyone else wearing new zyl styles?

Marchon Sointu 1705. The design looks like plastic but it's titanium. As for lenses, drag 'em through the garden! Comfort Ormex Transitions Quantum Gray with Crizal and edge polish. Did I miss anything?

**Pete Hanlin** · 03-26-2001, 11:39 AM

I wear a Charmant Shin 8095 Titanium frame with clips that I've polarized (although why a clip that wholesales for $XX wouldn't come stock with polarized lenses is beyond me).

I wear Nautica and Costa Del Mar Tempest sunglasses (both polarized and backside ARC'ed from the manufacturer :) ).

I wear the Silhouette Titan 3 piece, satin pewter(to match the hair),Airwear Panamic's with Crizal AR. Jo, reach Billy Brock at 817-921-9217, he really does some awesome stuff!

**PAkev** · 03-26-2001, 05:27 PM

Currently I am in a CK 253. However I wear as many frames as a single pair of my -1.00 -.50 OU Poly AR coated lenses will accommodate by starting out with a bigger eyesize and then edging lenses down for the newer and smaller frames every 2-3 weeks. The frames I choose are reordered and then returned to the respective manufacturer for credit after I choose something new. The lenses are replaced within parameters of the wholesale lab scratch warranty. When the lenses get too small and options become limited, I usually start over again. Everyone wins as frame styles are featured and add ons such as AR, Poly, and High Index are sold more easily if you are wearing the product.

As far as suns go, I am partial to the Maui Jim Kahuna and the Costa Del Mar Deep Blue. Unfortuanately, they are not amicable to my same advertising strategies.

**Ryan** · 03-26-2001, 08:31 PM

Smart Clip 209 by E'lite with poly AR single vision lenses. The matching polarized magnetized clip is great.

**Carol D** · 03-26-2001, 11:04 PM

Let's see. Where do I start??

Silhouette titan 3pc.
Vuillet Vega Presitige 415
Tura Escada E006
Marchon DKNY 6804
Something from Australian Optical (marking has rubbed off now
REM Lauren Hutton L074
Polo 587

I also have CLs, but I don't wear them very often.

They are all in my current RX. I had 6-7 more, but I finally tossed some in the Lions Club box. Our annual convention for the Texas Ophthalmic Professionals Society is coming in May. I am sure I will find another frame or two that I just can't live without.
