This week we're sitting down to discuss the basic anatomy of your eyewear. Not sure what the heck a temple is? Or what those random numbers engraved on the insides of frames mean? We're here to help! Apologies in advance, we had (yet another) round of technical difficulties this week so if the quality is kind of bad, deal with it. We did. We're still here and we're still unhinged, so share your thoughts and questions with us and lets get to it!
