If I may add a question for Babs – Did you have to supply a pattern for the SP lenses to put into the Enviso frame, and if so, where did you get it?

I’m so glad I saw the post by “Babs”. I was thinking of doing the exact same thing using the Enviso frames with the SP lens shape. Thanks!

When I clicked on the link to the Clariti Konishi KS 88, it says that the frame is being phased out by the manufacturer. I had the SP lens shape put in the Silhouette Enviso frame, and it turned out great! Super comfortable!! The Kazuo Kawasaki frame has rubber on the end of the temple which pull your hair. Why did they do that?! Also the curly-Q that holds the temple on the frame is weird. The Silhouette Enviso is much nicer-- more confortable. I just wish it didn't say Silhouette on the side, but it's a great frame!

As for the wrap-around glasses she has been wearing, if your referring to the ones with a big star on the temple, Bono wore them first and I believe they are Emporio Armani and part of the “Red” collection.

I saw Sara Palin on TV tonight (4-14-09) and she was wearing some “wrap around” sunglasses that were OH SO CLASSY. Does anyone know who makes these sun glasses and what “model” they are?
Thank you so much.

How much do your frames cost?

The lens shape that was made special for Sarah Palin, now has a pattern made, called the SP pattern. We do have this pattern in stock in our lab, which will enable us to cut your lens to that exact shape. You can order the Clariti Konishi KS 88 with the SP shape.

How does the shape of the Clariti campare to the SP (special) shape done for Sara Palin in the Kazuo?

We stand behind the Clariti Konishi KS 88 glasses to be a better fit than the Kazuo Kawasaki. The KS 88 can be will work fine for you and we have it in stock in the Gunmetal color only.

I am interested in purchasing the Clariti Konishi KS eyeglasses. However, I would like to see a picture of them first. Can you send me a picture? I would also like to know how much you are asking for them. Also, do you think that they will be big enough to accommodate a bi-focal lens?

Thank you

At this time, we are recommending a different brand, the Clariti Konishi KS 88 eyeglasses, color gunmetal, instead of the Kawasaki. The frames are very similar. We have pulled the Kawasaki frames off of our web site because we recommend the Konishi frame instead. And we have the Konishi frame in stock at the office – ready to ship! Please feel free to give us a call, 800-248-9427 x225 (Joanna) or provide us information to contact you and we will be happy to help you

I am told that if you select a small eye size and use the 1.67 or 1.74 high index lenses it can be done and not look bad.

I have a strong prescription: -7.5
Can I wear frameless lenses?

By: Richard Burckhardt

The SP comes in a 51 pattern size; however, since it is a drill mount we can customize the lenses to whatever size the customer desires. You can look on the inside of a current pair of eyeglasses to determine the proper size and or call us with that information and we can help them over the phone. You should be able to take them to any optical that provides customer service and have them adjusted.

If I send in my lens prescription and order the Sarah Palin frames, how do I know the size of the lens etc. Is the SP lens only one size? If they need adjustments, do I need to take them to a local optician?

The media is reporting that Sarah Palin purposely did not want AR Coating (Anti-reflective coating). She has taken a bit of heat for this decision, especially because she now has all lights on her, which are reflecting! Many still think that she should have added AR coating.

I have glasses that are frameless and there is a glare. I have been told there is no way glasses can be glareless; however, Sara Palin’s glasses have no glare. Can you explain this to me?
Thank you.
