I broke an eyeglass frame and need to order a replacement, possibly
on the web.

It evidently requires specifications like:

Eye Size: 50mm
Bridge Size: 13mm
Vertical Measurement: 40mm
Horizontal Measurement: 48mm
Temple Length: 130mm

Those specs were lifted from an Ebay offering.

How can I find specifications on an existing pair of eyeglasses?
Any info/suggestions much appreciated.

The Safilo Elasta 1056/N 1159 frame is NOT discontinued. In fact, you
can get them many places including http://tinyurl.com/ytjxgm . Just
measure (in mm) what you currently have and order the frames. If you
need help in measuring, just go to http://tinyurl.com/2d6ume which is on
the same site.

I spent a good 30 min. nursing the google search above. The go-optic
site was the first I dissected. Halfway down the page it clearly states:

We're sorry, this product has been removed from catalog.

I even tried calling them, see if they could help size a similar
frame. No answer. 'Tis only derelict vendors that leave discontinued
product on web site fo'ever and ever?

The second link looks very helpful. Many thanks!
