Slightly smaller, come to think of it. I had forgotten ...

>> History:
>>
>> About 20 years ago, I had 2 pair glasses made.
>>
>> Safilo Elasta 1056/N 1159
>>
>> Very good quality. I still have one of the frames, wear them daily.
>>
>> Maybe 10 years ago, the other frame broke. I took the lens to a

>> the lens.
>>
>> Such inexpensive frame just broke the other day.
>>
>> Safilo Elasta 1056/N was "discontinued", hasn't been available for years.

>> If I could get specifications on the glasses, I could maybe shop for
>> comparable Safilo or other quality frames on the web?
>>
>> As mentioned, the markup on such stuff at eyeglass shops is HUGE.

>> Such is the quandary. Any help/direction?
