...squares, octagons and ovals, in dazzling op designs. Frames come in all black, all white, one eye black and the other white, black and white stripes, checks, or combinations of both. Just for fun, some glasses come armed with roll-up awnings and huge fake eyelashes; others sport spectacular papier-mâché designs glued on to the frames; still others have movable lenses that lift up into a coy wink.
