I need these glasses for prop use. Can you remove the print on the demo lenses?

Sometimes they can be removed, but more often they are imprinted on the lens so that it will leave a nasty mark. Please see individual listing descriptions, as that issue is most often covered there for each pair.

I'm on a schedule and cannot wait for more than a few days. Can you use expedited shipping at extra cost?

Of course. Just let me know asap about your needs and I'll send you details of UPS/DHL/FedEx schedules and their pricing. Cost for 1 to 10 pairs ranges typically from USD 49 (USA/Canada, UPS Express Saver, 2-5 working days) upwards, depending on the destination country and the required max shipping time.

The frames I ordered don't appear as colorful or vibrant as I imagined. Do you edit the colors in product shots?

I don't, ever. But what I do use is very bright studio lighting, in order to simulate what the frames would look in good lighting conditions, such as outside on a sunny day. So please don't compare your item to the photo in the murkiest corner of your home, but rather find a spot with similar bright lighting in order to bring out the colors yourself. (Also, please please never judge ANY color under a fluorescent tube, ever, as they severely distort color.)

Are your frames suited for prescription lenses?

Yes! That is the *only* purpose of frames in my selection. I do have a handful of frames which can also be used as fashion / vanity pairs, but they are few and far between, and clearly selected as being "vanity use compatible". And yes, those are Rx'able too. There may be select few special cases that are not Rx'able, but those are *very* clearly mentioned in their description texts, so you can safely take my frames to your local optical shop, as long as you select one that accepts using customer's own frames.

These are obviously made in Greece, but I have no idea of brand other than what's printed inside the temple arms.

Part of an amazing collection salvaged from an old optical shop's storage in their original unworn condition, although I have to mention that the finishing touches on a ~50 year old pair are maybe quite not on par with the finest modern manufacturing standards. :)

Inside width (temple to temple) : 137 mm

Total front width : 144 mm

Lens height : 54 mm
Total front height : 60 mm
