    Beth:
    What about one of those sports frames? I THINK they're still made out of Nylon.And some used to come that just looked like regular glasses, but they were all big, black and ugly. Most of MY clients have gotten to the point that about the only sports THEY play are shuffleboard and bingo, so I'm not real familiar with them anymore. But I think Zylowear and Liberty used to put some out.
    I think I'd just stick some contacts on him, but he'd probably be allergic to RENEW also! Tough case.

    There are some 18 carrot gold frames (Cartier for example) get her something like that, she won't be allergic, you will make about 5 grand and the frame will last forever.

    Can you not lacquer the frame? Or give him a plastic one? That's what we do with our fussy, sorry, special patients.

    Beth, Zyloware still makes the "invincible"; made up to a 54-22-155, in your basic clark kent black.

    Hi Beth,
    Get your hands on a current Bolle' catalog. Most all of their frames are made out of nylon. They also were the original suppliers of Ray Ban and Vaurnet nylon frames. Their phone # is 800-526-5418.

    Good Luck!!
