"We're going to talk about the zyle or plastic style for women first. I think this is probably where the bulk of sales go towards, in terms of sunglass sales, is to plastic women's frames, okay? Again, so very colorful. I'm pointing out this one again. This mother of pearl frame right here. This tortoise frame right here. When it comes to putting prescription in these most of these can be done. Again, it can be very dependent upon prescription but I would say the bulk of our clients can get their prescriptions in these. But you do have to be kind of wary with how wrapped the frame is. Again, you're going to find in sunglasses that the, there's not a whole lot of viability in getting a different size of frame. Basically they really market these as one size fits all. So be careful because there are no nose pads. The temples are generally shorter. So make sure that they fit accurately. Almost, I'd say, 95% of the time women's sunglasses are going to be oversize. The bigger is the better. That's the more glam thing. It's the more Hollywood thing right now. And generally speaking that's what our clients are after is these bigger oversize plastic frames. Let me see if I can dig one up over here. I would consider this to be, well here's an even better option. This is by all things considered a huge, huge frame okay? I don't know if you could get a lens in this one. This lens space is so big. But generally speaking very thick temple pieces blocking out a lot on the side. So there is some benefit towards wearing this utilitarian. It does give you some use. It blocks out a lot of the light but that's only really if you can get a lens in. This is a very light tint on here of course so it's not going to offer you all that much protection. But again, this is where the industry is. It's in women's zyle frames. There's a lot of different assortments to choose from."
