Rudy Project sunglasses?

[Miranda]

Hmmm Miranda - I wonder if they can retro-fit my 2005 ekynox sx temples? (without a huge charge) I had them put my Rx directly into the frame, the wire inserts came way too close to my eyes (and lashes) and bugged me. I have met women who actually trimmed their eyelashes to deal with this issue! Crazy! tokie

Yes... is my short answer, for the $ of Rudy's and especially what you have wrapped up in $ Rx, I would certainly hope so.

I don't know what your temple pieces look like, but I just checked mine out again. Where I have them bent in this pic, there is a break in the plastic. Almost like if you trashed them, it could be repaired at the break point. My nose piece is held in with a screw. I would think if they could get it out, or maybe drill a hole, one like mine could be put in. It works really well. No eye lash worries either.

When I was searching for Rudy's, some eye doc places carry them. Or can order direct from the shop directly. I don't know if this is what you had to do for the Rx.

But any rate, my FIL is a retired optomitrist (didn't carry Rudy's though). In his private shop he had things to adjust temple pieces that were not even designed to be adjustable *to a degree*.

If you have ever gotten your eyebrows waxed at a salon, the device looked like the warmer that holds the wax. The stuff in it looked like kids play sand. Only it was some type of special glass bead. The beads at the hot temp would melt the temple piece just enough to be bent/tweaked for folks.

Plus, the lab they used could modify stuff. Like, maybe they could remove the whole temple piece and add the adjustable one like mine?

Rudy's are not cheap obviously. And I think with their policy on lens, they would try to help out on your adjustment issue (if any way possible to do so). Meaning, I think they sell they are behind you for the long haul on your gear. That was one of the final things that sold me on them, despite the wallet bite.

Lastly, since some extra parts are sold for other models between $5-$25, I would think the change should not be more than that.

Hope something works out for you.

EDIT: Hmm, now Tokie you have me wondering if an adjustable temple arm could be ordered seperately and switched out on some of the models. They do have some bottom oepn lens designs that I would consider for my mtb situation mentioned above, but the temples don't adjust... unless maybe they could be modified (on mine, the arm is held in by a small flat head screw, thx to the FIL, I already own that tool).
