Gus’s Glasses Galore: All Glass Polished to Perfection

Google Image Search

Good morning and welcome to our little shop.  We are dedicated to making the perfect pair of glasses for every customer.  Just give my your prescription and I will begin the tour of our wares.  It is very important for you to be comfortable and confident in your eyewear since people will see it before they notice your face.  Colors can be discussed later since we can do whatever you need, including colorless frames.  In fact, let’s dive right into that section now.

Frame shape is essential because every face is different.  You might have one that works best with oval while your friend looks gorgeous with rectangular.  Big frames are nice, but won’t do well on a small head.  The same goes for small frames on a large head.  I can see that you are in the middle, which gives us many options.  Perhaps a fancy cat-eye frame or even aviators.  No . . . Well, we do have swooping corners with some going up and others going down.  Fish-tails is a style where the outer sides fan out.  Dodecahedron is another popular shape.  If you wish to be really daring, we have our Escher frames where one can’t figure out where the glasses end and your face begins.  Okay, we’ll go with the exaggerated upwards swoop.

Lens thickness is determined by your prescription, but we have plenty of additions.  The usual scratch and UV protection.  Transition shades are another option that many want to avoid needing separate sunglasses.  We have a heat vision option, which activates in the cold and helps you find warm places.  There is the typcial x-ray vision, but people get upset when they learn it will look through skin as well as clothing.  In other words, you won’t have any luck checking out the naughty bits of other people.  This option holds the record for most returns, but we warn everyone.  Telescopic vision is for those with severe nearsightedness and we have a sale on that.  Peripheral warning system will give your temples a buzz if they sense an impending collision.  It can be rather sensitive and react to insects, especailly mosquitoes.  So, you want the basics, heat vision, and peripheral warning system.  Good choices.

Accessories are the next category and we have plenty.  This strap can connect to the back of your glasses to prevent losing them.  It’s a simple selection of silk, thin, thick, braided, invisible, sentient, and antiperspirent.  Here is a collection of various baubles we can dangle from the sides. All of they are designed to only swing outwards to avoid hitting you in the eyes.  Took over a year to realize that problem.  Other options are laser pointers from the sides, headlights for evening runs, holographic projector, picture-in-a-picture, and eye color changing.  That last one only works while you’re wearing the glasses, so know that it isn’t permanent.

Finally, we have glasses cases.  We have wood, plastic, and metal.  Nothing special about these.  Well, they all have an automatic cleaning function that activates when your glasses are inside for more than 30 seconds.  Buffs out scratches too.  That’s really it for this and the rest of the process.  We can get your glasses to you within a week after we bang out the final details like color.  Thank you.

    All of the features sound very handy. So they don’t cause you to have powers like Superman—or worse, Cyclops of the X-Men—but they were much more practical? They sound much less troublesome than the glasses in Spider-Man: No Way Home. Is there a feature that causes them to return to owner if lost?

    Clever, clever, Charles! I would like that glasses case that cleans your glasses – what a marvelous idea.

  3. I was going to order the X-ray lenses till I read the disclaimer. Heat vision and peripheral will be just fine.

  6. My hobby is to study native bees, so the telescopic vision would be really handy. Even better if I could get a camera function to take photos — those critters move fast!
