Remedy to a common eyewear fit issue: Nose pad arms for plastic frames

Many folks on the hunt for an ideal pair of glasses are drawn to the attractive aesthetic of plastic frames styles. However, not all faces have a nose shape that accommodates the standard design of plastic aka Zyl or Acetate, eyewear styles. 
For the person who needs a more custom-fit frame options, nose pad arms may be ideal.

We have a few eyewear lines that include nose pad arms- just ask an EOF staff member to show you what we currently stock.
In addition to the collections which specialize in having this customized fit feature, our lab provides the service of adding them to your own zyl or acetate frame.  

Eyes on Fremont Family field trip: The New KEXP STUDIOS

 
The EOF gang behind the coveted vinyl section of KEXP’s comprehensive music library.

For many years, Eyes on Fremont has been a proud supporter and underwriter of Seattle’s independent, listener powered radio station, KEXP. Now in their new, much-expanded studio facility, we were invited to check out what happens behind the airwaves.

  Check out a few highlights from the tour our EOF gang was invited to do with Carol Dupuis and seasoned volunteer, Ken:


An original studio keepsake of sorts: This original Nirvana “Nevermind” album secures fond memories with it’s  entertaining footnotes by the DJs playing it when the album released, way back in the station’s KCMU days. It earned critical acclaim & heavy rotation stats by the these resident DJs before it made international record sales.

DJ Quilty 3000 on the air yesterday, taking a moment to explain the back scene DJ process…  She’s been a resident DJ since 2003 (and a longtime EOF customer)!



Our tour guides and the EOF staff in the new live studio showroom.  Thanks, Carol (third from left)  and Ken (2nd from rt) showing us around the coolest radio station ever!
