    safety frames with cable temples

    Does anyone know of any safety frames available with cable temples? We've checked with two labs, both say there is nothing available. The patient swears another office told him it was no problem. His employer has a contract with Walman (one of the labs contacted).
    Thanks for any help!

    I am not aware of any.

    A similar thread a few weeks ago reveled no companies either.

    Have you called the safety frame companies directly, skipping the lab?

    Thanks Fezz,

    I really DID try the search, but didn't find this thread!
    We may have to send that patient back to the other office and say "Good Luck!"

    I concur with Groundrunner. His information is correct.

    Thank you, I just got a call back from someone at Walman listing these styles. She also told me the C8000, but I'm not sure about that one. It's a single bar metal but isn't shown in any book as being available with cables, unless the C7000 temples are interchangeable??

    Seems to me that Titmus (or whoever they are now (Aaero??)) has frames that have an order-able option of cable temples.
