    the frames we have here are decent, but I have not yet met our rep or had any contact with the company directly.
    Life is too important to take seriously.
    WALDO!

    We used them for awhile, but the stlyes were so-so, and we stopped carrying them after the last VE show. Just too much out there w/ better styles at better prices.

    We used to carry them in the office I work for. I had several people coming in for repairs. Compared to other brands I've worked with at the same price point, I wasn't impressed with the quality.

    Very popular seller for us. Lido West has an Uber line which I think are damn near the same styling as some OGI's, but OGI's have been really hot for us. I would say our return rate is not any worse than any other frame line we carry at least.

    We carry OGI and they are great for the smaller fit patient who wants something stylish. Quality is good and company seems strong - owned by an independant OD, I think.

    It used to be owned by David Spencer if I recall correctly. It has been purchased by a chain in Chicago called Chicagoland Optical. The Dr. that runs it is Dan Lieberman. They were very popular several years back in the Chicago market, but since they were sold not so much. Similiar to the Lux- Lenscrafters setup.

    It really isn't a chain in the traditional sense. Dr. Lieberman owned 3 offices of his own. He got a group of investors together and started buying other shops in the Chicago area. I believe they have 15 now. Dr. Lieberman still lives here in the Chicago area, but spends a lot of his time in Minnesota. One of the other store owners handles day to day operations.

    I haven't used them in some time, but when I did they were very good quality for the price. I understand that the prices have since increased since Chicagoland bought them.

    We carry them. We like them. For the record I don't wear one. I wear an OGA. There was much confusion when we started carrying them. Thought they were another line by Morel. :)
