WHAT'S NEW - Frame Introductions
By Joanne F. Schell

ClearVision Optical has released a set of four new styles from its Op brand—all of which feature a TR-90-injected temple design. Sunshine Coast, Pacific Coast (shown), West Coast, and Gold Coast each include this translucent plastic material in the temples that adds resilience and eliminates the need for a full wire core. ClearVision has improved the temple design by pairing it with a partial wire core, making frame adjustments easy. Designs in the series range in eye size from 46mm to 50mm. The frames are wholesale priced at $39.99 each. For more information, contact ClearVision at 800-645-3733.

Signature Eyewear has launched the Hummer Eyegear collection. The new line includes both ophthalmic and sun and draws its inspiration from the strength, confidence, and independence associated with the Hummer brand. The collection focuses on innovative materials, technology, and over-the-top designs. Colors match the palette of the Hummer vehicles in Victory Red, Stealth Grey, and Desert Sand, and are combined with shapes and accents also inspired by the SUV. The grouping is a blend of stainless steel, titanium, aluminum, monel, and laminated zyl. Some sun models feature rhinestone embellishments, embossed metal details, and rectangular temple tips. Wholesale pricing for the sun models (shown l to r: H335, H319, and H303) ranges from $47 to $65. For more information, contact Signature Eyewear at 800-765-3937.
