Buddy builds upon the popular universal shape that was the natural choice for early frame makers who were working on the assumption that lens shape should follow the natural contour of the eye socket. Consequently, this ‘anatomical’ eye shape forms the foundation for a multitude of modern eyewear designs. This Buddy design is the foundation of most iconic 50s eyewear.

Suits: Medium to large faces looking for a rounded 50s style.
Fitting notes: This 1950s classic shape has a keyhole bridge that is suitable for average to larger faces that need wider keyhole bridge fittings. The wider bridge allows the top rims to position themselves along or below the brow line, which can shorten a longer face as well as fitting snugly into the face.
