Shuron? What the heck is a Shuron?
I wrote a post over at GlassyEyes.com on Shuron frames and when I started looking more deeply into it, I realized I was in love. I guess I’ve always harbored feelings for glasses that were a little on the “bold” side. That is even more true now that I can afford to have more than one pair at a time.
Shuron frames are going to cost more than the frames I’ve become used to...

Have a kid (or a small face)?
If you have a kid or have a small face, Shuron has reintroduced the “Triple Play”. As unusual as an actual triple play is, the child or small-faced adult who can pull off the the Triple Play frame is that and even less so. Want to show your kid what it was like to grow up in the 1950’s with near (or far)-sightedness? This is your chance. Check them out…

The Best Prices for Shurons are Absolutely Online
I was in the car waiting to pick up the kids from school this afternoon and I decided to use some of the built in wizardry that the iPhone possesses. I called a half dozen boutique optical stores in the area looking for Shurons and found one that carried them. I asked on the price of the Freeway and the Ronsir Revelation frames and was quoted near list price.
Neither of the online stores listed...

The Shuron Clip-On Arrives -- Looks Great!
Shuron has released a beautiful (and functional) new product to fit with a few of it’s most classic of frames. I know that I hesitated when I purchased my first pair of Shuron frames — “Do I get them tinted?” I wanted to wear them to work and to go out in (heck, I’m wearing them right now, sitting in my underwear writing this).
I skipped the tint. I also...

Eyes? Check(ed)
[from GlassyEyes.com] I’m ready for new lenses now in those beautiful, demi-grey Freeways below.
I’m a self-employed guy with a house, three kids and big medical insurance deductible. I wasn’t about to pay a couple of hundred dollars to get my eyes checked with taxes due. That said, I need to make sure my eyes are in tip-top shape. I was at Sam’s Club a couple of weeks...

Shuron Freeway Demi Grey - Ready for Lenses
The Youngest in Dad’s new Freeways. The UPS guy dropped them off this afternoon. I ordered them last week from BestBuyEyeglasses and they shipped them out via UPS. I got an emailed order confirmation, a shipping confirmation and even the UPS “Delivered” notification which arrived as the truck was pulling away.
The packaging made me laugh and impressed my “green”...
