FITTING TIPS

  • Stock larger sizes—in contemporary colors and shapes—and spare (longer) temples in your frame inventory.
  • Extended endpieces and bowed temples add room to smaller designs.
  • Spring hinges and adjustable nosepads and temple tips are a must for ensuring a comfortable fit.
  • Lightweight materials such as titanium, aluminum and stainless steel provide a sleek, slim look and are the ultimate in comfort.
