Professional insight

Eyewear buyers check frame width and lens category before style. Fashion frames vary widely in fit.

  • Compare frame width with a pair that already fits.
  • Check lens category number for bright beach light.
  • Gold metal frames can tarnish; check finish details.
  • Resale pairs should include the original OTRA case.
