In your original post, you listed this as the details: Matt Brown 54-19-145
This implies that the color of your frames is brown, probably in a dull (matte) finish. The lenses are 54mm wide, the bridge (nose part) is 19mm across, and the temple arm length is 145mm long. Knowing this information makes it easy. Just find some glasses that are about the same size! And yes, I said about...a few mm won't make a huge difference. 10mm or more, however... :-) OK. As an example, let's take this frame, from Zenni...my own preferred site, but the one which has had some shipping problems, recently. http://zennioptical.com/cart/product.php?productid=441&cat=0&page=1 They come *with* a clip on magnetic sunshade, and cost only $19 with single vision lenses. OK, so they're not transitions...but you can get out for $19! Talk about a cheap introduction to online glasses!!! It's got lenses 54mm wide, a bridge dimension of 19mm and a temple arm length of 138mm. This is close -- the only dimension that's not the same is the arm length, and that 7mm difference may be fine for you. How much did they have to bend the "behind the ear" part to fit your frames to your head? As you can see by this listing at Zenni, the information at the top of the description details the frame's dimensions. If you type your information into the search field (lower left on your screen) it'll pull up frames that match your search criteria. All the sites have similar search functions, so the basic procedure should work on all of them. -- Chuck Knight On Thu, Mar 12, 2009 at 5:29 PM, Tom Ray <[email protected]> wrote: > You guys sure respond fast! :). > > I am amazed at the insight and thoughtfulness you all have spent on a > complete stranger in need of peripheral correction. > > I will research in depth, the websites and options you all have provided > for me after tonight because I have a midterm to study for blindly, haha. > > I went to Walmart Optic Vision today, and they told me there's a repair > shop not too far away on the corner, and I gave them a call.
