Thanks jc17777; looks like it,s gone. Thanks for your help.
You are welcome. If i see anything else that may work ill let you know
In the 1970s we purchased regular frames, plastic as well as metal, cut of the lower rim and drilled the holes inserted the nylon thread and had rimless frames.
You can do that with just about any frame you want. All you need is a drill, a file, some fine sand paper and a polish buffer. It does not even take much time to do it.
Victory Optical has one. http://www.victoryoc.com/index.php?r...product_id=242
Interesting frame measurements on this one.
The manufacturers do not give warranties besides replacements for defective items. The cost of purchasing frames has been upgraded by distributors to cover for extended warranties.
It is you the retailers that are asking for long warranties from the distributors who then overcharges for them.
You will not need everyone to put their arms up, like you say.
Today with the internet making any searches easy, you can come up with answers to just about anything by just asking the right questions.
These days when major manufacturers have entered the retail market and consolidated the laboratory side into strategic locations, as well as advertising their latest products right to the public, it is time to re-think the way to lower your cost if possible.
The last time this happened was after the worldwide commercial downturn in the early and mid 1980's.
Lens manufacturers offered scratch resistant coatings and UV400 absorbing lenses and started the UV scare like they are doing now again for an additional price increase.
Some of the smart optical retailers were looking to do these applications themselves in their own backroom labs, and created a demand for a new supply industry to supply the products, to easily do those new treatments in their own premises at much lower cost.
As history repeats itself in one way or another related way, one can find ways to reduce ones cost factors from your chair at home, by using the internet.
You can find the exact frames you want at a fraction of the price on the internet as well as any lens treatments you want to do yourself, with only one exception. the AR coatings that require expensive equipment.
There are a few options from Venus Eye Design
