Lafont has been decorating the faces of
myopes,
hyperopes, and
presbyopes for over 80 years!
Lafont eyewear has a beautiful and timeless style and to celebrate that fact, they’ve brought back several of their classic designs as part of the
Lafont reedition line.
I just couldn’t contain my joy at the constant arrival of more and more Lafont reedition frames at Eye Spy. I was so enamored, I had to write a poem, I hope Elizabeth Barret Browning doesn’t mind:
Oh, Lafont Reedition, how do I love thee, let me count the ways
I love thee to the keyhole bridge and generous lens height
My soul can see, I never feel without sight
For the eyes you provide such grace
I love thee ‘cuz you balance out my big, round face
I need you morning, noon, and night
I love thee freely, I know you’re all right
I love thee purely, your sunglasses protect from uv rays
I love thee for your style and practical use
You give me no grief, you’re the bee’s knees
Oh boy, Lafont reedition frame I hope I don’t lose
My nifty cat-eye glasses, we go together like wine and cheese
You handmade objects of well-crafted design, it’s you I choose.
Lafont reedition frames, I’ll take one in each color, please

You make our hearts go ZING!
What we are second most thankful for are the new frames that have been arriving all week!
