Larum D

Larum has been in retail for 20 years and most of it has been with the fashion industry. Since customer service and style are in his blood it was natural to move his career to fashion eyewear. Larum is one of the Senior Specialists and offers his experience and white glove service to the team. He is Editor-n-Chief of the blog at Eyeweartalk.com and is the eyewear training coordinator for the entire company. When he is not educating customers and employees about the exciting ever-changing technology of sunglasses and eyeglasses he is home reading or enjoying life. One of his catch phrases is "Build the Value".

1. What sunglass frame features are the best for you?

Sport Sunglasses - active sports such as football, baseball, volleyball, skiing and climbing are best played with safe, sports sunglasses with nylon frames. Maybe consider goggles. Lens performance is critical. Check out Oakley Sunglasses for the active lifestyle. Don't forget that we have prescription sports eyewear for the visually impaired!image

Fashion or Designer Sunglasses - Personal preferences should drive your frame selection in this category. Fashion sunglasses tend to focus on the style and appearance of the frame and not so much the lenses.

Aviator Sunglasses - men, women and children enjoy wearing the fashionable aviator style. It's a constant that isn't going anywhere. This classic look of the aviator sunglasses is timeless and works with many face shapes. Try an aviator in either metal or plastic.

Rimless or Half-rim Sunglasses - frames that have a drilled hole in the lens to attach the frame and do not have a full frame around the lens are called rimless or semi-mounts. These frames are lighter and offer a more modern look. This style is perfect for sports and fashion. The Serengeti Nuvino Sunglasses and the Maui Jim Honolua Bay Sunglasses are great examples of this sleek look.

Military or Ballistic - ballistic tactical goggles and glasses will serve a wide range of needs. Light, UV, weather, and dust protection and filtering, anti-fog and anti-scratch coatings are the features of the military and tactical eyewear as well as a useful selection of lens tints.
