If you’ve been in the shop lately, you may have noticed a conspicuous green section of our frame board named Frames with a Cause…. Here, you will find some of our collections that are based on an eco or socially-conscious campaign:
141 Eyewear is a Portland, OR based company that gives a pair of glasses to someone in need for each pair sold, effectively offering that outreach in communities both in the U.S. & beyond.

AFrames is a frame company out of Chicago that partners up with Hellen Keller Foundation to provide health care, vitamin A supplementation, and research for vision loss around the world.
Go Green is a collection of frames made of optical-grade, recycled plastic. The scrap plastic is sourced from frame factories, thus reducing the overall waste from eyewear production.
Stop by and check them out next time you need some new specs. If you find something you like on the “green” board, consider it a win-win situation: seeing well, looking great, AND supporting a worthy cause!

One of our
newest collections at
EOF is an emerging frame line out of Chicago called
A-Frames. We are
excited to carry them not only for their
awesome retro aesthetic, but for the
philosophy behind the company. Founder
Wes Stoody created the line with the intention of partnering up with
The Helen Keller Foundation, who benefits from 5% of A FRAMES’ total revenue. The long established non-profit organization helps to
prevent & reduce low vision, Blindness, and malnutrition in communities where this problem is prevalent. Visit
AFRAMES EYEWEAR to get more details on their
philanthropic direction.
Looking good AND seeing well feels that much better if someone else benefits from it, wouldn’t you agree?
