We've been providing sunglasses and prescription eyewear to customers the world over for over 43 years. We started the business in 1967 in Houma, Louisiana while our founder was taking flying lessons and working in the oil industry as an offshore Well Logging Engineer. He couldn't find suitable sunglasses for flying and working offshore at a reasonable cost, so he did some research and found some really nice sunglasses for a fraction of the cost of the name brands. We have continued bringing functional eyewear to our customers ever since. Our founder is a pilot, fisherman, sailor, water skier, motorcycle rider, model airplane flyer, target shooter, hunter, ham radio operator, backpacker, and engages in other outdoor activities. We know eyewear from having used the products we sell. We don't have to read notes or look up anything when you contact us for advice, we have been there an done that many times. There is nothing we haven't heard about eyewear or sunglass problems.
We offer custom-made prescription and non-prescription eyewear, made to ANSI standards (American National Standards Institute), for a fraction of what you'd pay locally. Prescription or non-prescription eyewear made to your specifications.

While we are putting our website together you can order our free printed 56 page catalog that shows the products and services we offer. The pictures of the frames in the catalog are shown "actual size" so you can just lay your current glasses over the picture to relate directly to sizing.
You can also print the page that has the frame(s) of interest from the Catalog PDF File. Select the page or pages to be printed, make sure your printer does not have any "reduce to fit paper" or any box checked that changes the size of the print. You can check the printed page for accuracy by using a millimeter ruler to check the size against the sizes printed in the catalog.
