    Help! Nylon suspension frame?

    OK guys and gals, remember that frame that was actually nylon filament attached to the lens itself and then to two temple tips? you could asjust the length of the line to get the correct panto etc. I have an account who has a patient looking for it. I sold one years and years ago but cannot remember the manufacturer or if still available. thanks!!

    I don't know if suspension is still available ......... pretty cool concept for it's time ......... my wife still has the pair I made back in the last century
    .......... somewhere around 20 years ago ........... she always commented how comfortable they were ......... quite the freeform idea of the early 80's
