I used to work for Signet Armorlite many years ago, something I share with actress Rene Russo! She said in an interview that it was the worst job she ever had but happily I don’t feel that way. I am very happy that my job with Signet Armorlite introduced me to the optical industry. I remember soon after joining the company in the mid 80′s we talked about getting rid of some of the bigger diameter molds, 80 mm I think as eyewear sizes were getting smaller and smaller! Maybe we should have kept them based on these bigger than big eyeglasses spotted being worn in Paris during Fashion Week just recently! Attention Optical Lens companies – bigger is the new big! Maybe….

Been telling the lens companies that I do business with about this for a couple of years. No one listens to the prophets.
Funny you mention this, as I’ am visiting clients in Arizona this week and they have mentioned to me that our Sun Lens offering requires larger blanks for the Larger Sunglass Frames in the market.
What comes around goes around.
If the “bigger than big” glasses come back
no one will be happier than the 70 year old and up ladies who have held onto their old Christian Dior and Caviar glasses for that last 20 to 30 years!
