    who makes plastic frames with nosepads?

    So we are having quite a few patients coming in with flat nose bridges looking for plastic frames. I am a big fan of prodesign, but sadly a shop just a few blocks away from us also carries prodesign, so they are not my first choice.

    So does anyone know of another line that offers plastic frames both with and without nosepads? or a line of nice plastic frames with nosepads?

    thanks in advance!

    Just saw these today, very interesting. They all have nosepads.

    I believe Hilco has nose pad arms that are made so you can add to a zyl frame.

    Some Prodesign plastics can be purchased with or without nosepads

    I just got the Charmant PLastic Slim in last week.
    they are not your average plastic frame it's more of a metal in-line made out of nylon with titanium pieces stuck on to it.

    Not good for thick lenses in my opinion.
    The way the plastic is treated to add color makes it look cheap. looks like a silk screen process is used.

    I would recommend the prodesign.
