Ono's Introduces Sunglasses Without Bifocal Magnification

MOBILE, Ala. - December 1, 2010 - Ono's Trading Company, the firm that pioneered sunglasses with magnification bifocals for reading and other close-up work, has unveiled ten high-definition polarized sunglasses for men and women who do not require bifocal magnification.

Chris Nelson, Ono's marketing chief, said the new "plano" sunglasses would be priced the same as Ono's bifocal models, from under $90 to less than $130. Ono's also sells three titanium models, available only with bifocals, for $149.00. In addition, Ono's recently announced corrective-lens sunglasses that can be ordered directly from the company with a doctor's prescription for only $169.99 and $189.99, saving customers as much as $400 compared to prescription-sunglasses sold by optometrists.

For the holidays all models ordered online through December 30 earn free shipping plus a 10-percent discount.

New models without bifocals are Grand Gosier™, Curlew™, Breton™, Carabelle™, Harbor Docks™, Oak Harbor™, and Vieux Carre™ models and three styles for smaller faces or faces with smaller features -- Grand Lagoon™, Tuscadero™ and Ocracoke™.

All lens color options -- grey, amber, blue-mirror/grey and green-mirror/amber - feature 100-percent UVA-UVB polarization. As with bifocal models Ono's new no-bifocal styles feature ophthalmic-quality CR-39 lenses noted for their lightness, optical clarity, and resistance to scratching and chemicals.

Like the bifocal models, the new plano models feature memory-flex TR-90 frames styled for men and women with small, medium or large facial features and different nose-bridge shapes.

Models with bifocal readers are especially popular with outdoorsmen and women who enjoy low-profile magnification for close-up tasks like following hiking trail maps, tying fishing knots, reading menus at outdoor cafés or reading articles and books at the beach. Many have weighed in with their comments at Ono's new Facebook site.
