Reasons for Relensing: 1) $350 Vogue frames 2) A 4'11 female with a tiny head has a very limited choice in complimentary frames that will not make her look like shrunken Pointdexter. 3) Prescriptions change over time. My prescription as 12 is not what it became at 18, nor at 23 nor at 30. Frames can last forever, these human eyes don't have an expiration date and poor warranty. 4) I like what I like. Not everything material in life should be replaceable. Why create waste by chucking old frames if the old ones work just as well.
