    Looking For A Folding (Rxable, Not OTC!) Metal Half Eye Frame

    Isn't there a major frame manufacturer that makes one of these anymore? I know they are kind of gimmicky, but I have a patient who got one from me two years ago and would like another.

    Safilo used to make one, which my customer wanted me to get another of, but it's gone. Marchon used to have one -- GONE. Luxottica doesn't have any. Franel Optical itself is gone.

    I looked over old Optiboard threads about these, and all I saw were posts from '06 and '10. I'm hoping there is something available, now that I'm revisiting this six years later . . .

    Anything I'm seeing available now that folds is cheap OTC redi-readers -- nothing of ophthalmic quality, and Rx-able.

    I can't believe that someone out there doesn't make them.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Thank you!

    Check this out, not sure if this is what you are looking for but I have one in the office. Super sturdy, rxable. Cool suns too.

    I know Ray-Ban has a foldable combination frame, but I don't know about semi-rimless.
