Wrap sunglasses for a lady

[LensGrinder76]

I've recently had problems fitting ladies with rx wrap sunglasses. Does anyone else have this problem.
I've considered that ladies generally have longer eyelashes than men and this might be the problem. It was with my two customers.
Is there a way to alleviate this problem, other than not selling this style to ladies?

Your choices in salvaging the fit:
1) Un-wrap them a little.....Check if the eyelash tracks are peripheral lashes as opposed to central.
2) Encourage them to be worn further away from eyes. Some people like to jam them into their eyesocket! Make sure the temples are not creating tension that creates a negative slippage.
3) Ensure adequate bridge fit before dispensing. This is where an empty frame can be misleading, and culls may be steeper than the finished product backside radius.
4) Increase pantoscopic angle, this may elleviate the problem.
5) Wait for it!...........(Do not attempt the following)(Attempt at humor alert) Dispense a Bic lighter.

I think I like option 5 the best!! :bbg::bbg:

Ladies only have longer eyelashes because they choose to wear mascara. Wrap frames sit closer so you either order a deeper base curve, they forgo the makeup or they choose another frame. For myself, I choose another frame, mascara is essential.

how about the lattisse patients.

Choose frames with nosepads you can adjust to sit further from the face.

Or mount your own adjustable pads on them, if they're zyl.

How do you do and how often? I am interested.

Hilco has several different ways to apply these. How you do it, and which one to use will vary according to frame design on the bridge. You can use separate arms, or (my favorite) the ones that have both arms on one convenient attachment point, but these sometimes requires you to file the face side of the bridge flat to get rid of the built up plastic pads and allow room to mount the arms. I also like to build up a smooth hump over the attached pad base with a clear epoxy to help hold it on and to avoid any rough spots.
