Lightec and OVVO for the dudes, Miu Miu and Traction for the girls. Traction is such a diverse line, really something for everyone. Great zyls, and the mixed zyl/metal pieces are downright sculptural. For sunwear, Betsey Johnson! The ladies really recognize the name and the sweet oddball styling. The fit on these inexpensive frames are spot on. Also Miu Miu … fab shapes with minimalist temples, some great stones. Fresh and sparkly. Tamara Walker, Eyepolis, Homestead, PA


Safilo’s Jimmy Choo and Gucci are currently the hot items. Men love Morel’s Lightec and Safilo’s Hugo Boss are stirring a lot of interest. We just added Michael Kors as well, and they are climbing up in popularity due to great price points and beautiful styles! Susan Kantor, Central Phoenix Eyecare, Phoenix, AZ

Vera Bradley frames were so hot we could not keep them in stock! Sandy Freise, The Optical Shop, St. Charles, MO


Banana Republic’s “Buffy” is a fantastic frame for those patients who can’t seem to find a plastic frame they like. The fit and colors always seem to make the most fickle customer happy.
