From colorful frames with real wood temples, to barely there titanium frames, and everything in-between for the guys.

I use more suppliers and have a larger inventory than the competition.

Just a couple of women's frames I have in stock. I carry flashy fun frames, safe conservative frames., and everything in-between.

I have more suppliers and stock more frames than you'll find elsewhere.

You may remember a week or two ago I share Adrian's glasses that I installed simple silicon insert nose pads on?

Today I am sharing Brenda's new glasses that I installed fully adjustable metal pad arms on. These will allow us to get Brenda's new glasses to fit her like a glove.

Brenda doesn't have a difficult prescription, so we did free form progressives with advanced anti reflective coating with a 2 year warranty, so she can see and look her best while not worrying about scratching.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

You may have seen my post about a week or so ago of the vintage Calvin Klein I sold Greg. I have 3 left, if you'd be interested in a 30 year old stainless steel frame, with a matching clip, I've got them.

Get 'em while you can. When they're gone, they're gone for good.

Silicon implants!

Adrian is from Maquoketa, but buys his glasses from me, because there is no equivalent of me in Maquoketa.

Adrian is bumpin' towards 80yrs old, and particular about how his Eyewear fits. I had sold these glasses to him about 4 years ago, and he recently came in with new Rx. I tried to sell him a new frame, but fixed income made him want to use the frame again, so that's what we did. You can see the cable temple adapters I put on when the frame was new, they are a key part of making Adrian happy, he loves them.

Adrian felt the frame needed to sit up just a hair on his bridge. He had tried some stick on silicon pads, but they don't last long...so I showed Adrian my version, and he said let's do it.

For these I get to drill 4 holes in his frame, then snap the pads in place. These will last for years.

Sorry about the quality of the last few pics, they came back to pick them up sooner than I thought they would, so I snapped my pics in the backroom.

Have a plastic frame that slips down? I can fix that.

Today I am sharing a pair of glasses I just put together.

The frame is a Calvin Klein that is over 30yrs old, but is brand new, never been sold. If you look at the small case above the frame, you can see it is breaking down from age. I call it patina. lol

Around 1994 or 95 I picked up a collection of Calvin frames that all came with matching clips. If you're a fan of the show Friends, you might recognize them from Chandler getting glasses.

I sold most of the collection, but had a few that I tucked away. I recently dug them out, dusted them off to sell. I figured I would sell them to someone looking for something unique. I ended up selling them to a 76 year old man who needs a small, lightweight frame, and this won out.

Greg wears lined bifocals, with no other lens treatments, other than scratch coating, so not much to chat about in that department. lol

Do you like aviator/pilot sunglasses? I have a huge selection of big ones, small ones, polarized, non polarized, mirror coated, non mirror coated, simple ones, dramatic ones Elvis would proudly rock.

I have great non prescription ones you can walk out the door wearing today, or I can customize them with lenses of your choice, both prescription and non prescription. And they're always 25% off.
