Which of the online shops offers Trivex material? Even though my prescription is very low (-0.5) I think I better buy a full-rim titanium frame with trivex. I have bought from several online shops ( i will try zenny soon), however it seems to me that Coastal has the best glass quality based on my personal experience. Unfortunately I chose a frame that doesn't look good on me.
