Get rimless (and CRAZY) with the new frames at O4L.

Posted by Ira at Thursday, August 28, 2008

Albert, at Optical4Less sent me an email noting a new frame on the site. Wow. I've always liked bolder frames so rimless isn't typically a route I travel. For those looking for a cleaner, more transparent look, they're a great option... and then there is the target market for these. Look below! They're GLOW-IN-THE-DARK.

Kind of "bulky" for rimless frames. "Bold" dare I say? Not that you'd probably wear these to a black-tie affair (or to the candlelight Christmas service), but I think there is a place in my glasses wardrobe for these.

Fireworks? Rave? Halloween party? Late night jog around the block? For a little extra light in case of a power failure?

I'll have to remember to carry some GlassyEyes cards with me when I wear these at night. You're asking yourself, "Ira? Are you seriously considering these?" Absolutely, ~~I'm considering~~I've ordered a pair of these "glow-in-the-~~dork~~-dark" beauties. Certainly something I DON'T already have -- and a stark contrast to my first pair of rimless frames.

Chime in! Where else are you in need of a little light (or attention)?

Not sure I would be happy with the late-night jogging idea, though. Wouldn't that mess up your night vision, having glowing thingies all around your eyes? Drivers/other joggers/muggers might see YOU, but you might never see THEM.

Thanks again Ira!

Voila! glow in the dark glasses!

problem solved!
