A-FRAMES Story…

Elizabeth (aka Gus) in her new A-Frames style ‘Mali’, helped provide a year’s worth of Vitamin A supplementation for an indvidual in need.
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?

Sunwear Solutions for the upcoming season

Yay! Spring officially has landed with last weekend’s stellar sunny weather and soon enough we will rock and roll right into summer…. Having worked at EOF for over 10 years, I can attest to the fact that as soon as the sun emerges from the thick layer of grey that hovers above us, Seattle-ites will be arriving in droves to get quick relief from the brightness & glare.  Whether it be a new set of sunglasses or a clip-on for your current glasses, we can offer some quick solutions!
While we always have an eclectic mix of ready-to-wear sunglasses to choose from, we can outfit almost ANY frame with polarized or tinted lenses to personalize your style preferences:

and the same frames in sunglasses version!
Drop by our shop & feel free to ask one of our opticians which frames can create a hip, functional sunglass from our vast selection of frames.
Alternatively, do you have a “retired” frame that is still in good condition?  We certainly can fit a set of sun lenses into your own frame & SAVE you the frame cost Viola! Instant sunglass solution!
Don’t forget about sun-clips either.  Custom-fitted, polarized clip-ons can be made for your frame in just a few days… our on-site lab offers a faster turnaround than other companies that have to send out the frame and can leave you without your glasses for over 2 weeks- BOO!  (Note that we do need your glasses for the 2 day processing time- yet another reason to have a spare pair on hand!)
