Our take on the Shuron Ronstrong Cable Temples Eyeglasses

The Shuron Ronstrong is a round, full-rim metal frame from a small American maker that has been cutting frames since 1865. Its signature feature is cable temples: the arms curve behind the ear, which keeps the glasses locked in place during movement. The frame is progressive eligible and takes standard lenses. At $159 at Distritech as of November 3, it sits at the top of its recent range, so it is not a bargain moment.

Questions and answers

Is the Shuron Ronstrong worth it?
If you want a round metal frame that stays on your face during movement, yes. The cable temples are the reason to pick it over a standard round frame. If you mostly sit still and want quick on-and-off, a regular temple is easier.
How do cable temples differ from regular temples?
Cable temples curve down and wrap behind the ear instead of ending in a straight tip. That grip keeps the frame from sliding, but you have to hook them over your ears each time you put the glasses on.
Can I put progressive lenses in it?
Yes. Shuron lists the Ronstrong as progressive eligible, and the full-rim metal frame holds most lens types. Your optician will confirm the lens size fits the eye wire.
Is it good for sports or cycling?
The cable temples make it a reasonable choice for cycling and light sport because the frame stays put. It is not a dedicated sport frame, so check that the arms clear your helmet.
When is the best time to buy it?
The current $159 at Distritech as of November 3 is at the top of its recent range. Waiting for a sale or a lower store price is the better move if you are not in a hurry.
What comes in the box?
Expect the frame itself, usually with a case and cleaning cloth from the seller. Lenses are not included unless the listing says otherwise, so budget for an optician's lens fitting.
