    Scott Harris Vintage VIN-17, its a 42, but close to what you're after perhaps.

    Smilen Optical - Profiles series. I know they have one at a 41 eye. He'll let you buy one, of course volume helps. Basic entry level frames. 1-800-887-5675.

    Good Call Uilleann! We'll see what he thinks of sans-pads.

    He's rough on his glasses, small children, pets, etc. Hoping for something that won't fall apart in a year.
    Thanks both of you!
    Any other suggestions?

    In that case...go with Uilleann's recommendation! I sold that very frame in a +8.00 ou ft28 1.67, and it was a model of perfect decentration. CT was outstanding and the patient couldn't believe "how thin." I buy the profiles half a dozen or so at a time for the two or three patients that want them a year. I price them at $99. I have a guy who is particularly rough on them, he has averaged one a year, so maybe skip those for a rough patient.

    OVVO 2321 2301 2450 Make the lenses in trivex and they will be pretty indestructible.
