    ISO Community Frame Recommendations

    Hey all.

    I've got a patient who is looking for very lightweight plastic frames with thinner temples to accommodate hearing aids. She is looking for very bright and vibrant colors, but not so much with rhinestones or other sparkles. I've gone through a lot of frames already, but really just after some additional thoughts from the community. What are some of your favorites?

    Thanks in advance!

    The teal and red are pretty vibrant, the other ones more subdued, otherwise they would fit the bill perfectly.

    I've also fit these a few times along with hearing aids, and they are about as bright, vibrant colored and lightweight as possible.

    The Silhouette plastics have been doing VERY well for us.

    Thanks everybody so far, I'm interested to see what else comes out of here.

    I love the Silhouette plastics, we have a bunch of them and they are great sellers for us too. The colors, oddly, are not bright enough for this particular patient.

    Tallboy, looks like you hit the nail on the head with the AWear collection.....but.....there's a 15 piece buy-in, even though we carry other Charmant frames!

    Those BCBG frames intrigue me too...
