about kids having this in one eye, but not both.  What are the
treatments for kids having this with both eyes.  I don't have much
info on what is causing this, just found out today and am very

I have a very old pair of these and just bought my second pair.
Out of curiosity - what are they made of?
They seem to be the most durable frames I have ever worn.
Are they overpriced?

i'm 26 and i got glasses last year after realizing, well, that i
needed them.  noticed it at a football game when i had trouble reading
