    E-Clips, E-Z Clips and host of others. Some of the are so simple a doctor's receptionist (not the doctor) can do them. Seriously, check the web for clip-ons and clip-on kits, I wish that I could remember the brand name of the one I use (just got some in today) same stuff Judy Cantry uses, and they are quite simple if you have an edger, not too hard by hand if you don't.

    Went to the office and checked brand I am using now, Uni-Clips really easy if you have an edger, really a pain to do by hand as I do. But they are very good and sturdy, lots of colors for special applications as well as three or four polarized colors.

    Thumbs up Custom Clips

    Eclips system works for virtually any frame....now uses Flexon bridge.....20 min. to make a clip....

    Yes - Eclips still uses glue.....been using them for more than 10 years at my retail store...once you get past the "idea" of adhesive, they are relatively easy to build and they will fit just about any frame and are especially good on rimless (Airlock, Silhouette)

    These are the one's we use...

    Look under PRODUCTS and click on AIRCLIP II.

    They are nice and light!
    You can do them yourself or they can do it for ya.

    If the prong breaks it can easily be repaired/replaced in about a minute.
