Why Progressive Lenses?

Eyewear Fashion Updates
Why Progressive Lenses? If you are over 40 and having difficulty with your vision, chances are you are experiencing presbyopia, the common gradual loss of near vision. But there is good news: you have more choices today than ever before. You don't have to carry a separate pair of glasses for reading or wear lined bifocal lenses like your parents did. Progressive lenses offer a smooth transition from distance vision through intermediate vision to near vision, and they supply all the in-between corrections as well. This means that instead of having just two different viewing zones (near and distant), like with bifocals, progressive lenses have progressive powers of correction (from bottom to top), easing eye strain and providing the most natural vision correction. Finally, people are moving away from bifocals and…

How to Choose Eyewear to Look Younger

Eyewear Fashion Updates
As we age, the likelihood of wearing glasses becomes more of a reality. When worn all the time they also become our most important accessory. Unfortunately, the wrong frames can date us, and our eyewear. For a more youthful look when wearing glasses consider style, fashion and colour. Eyewear Face Lift Defy gravity with a little face lift. Keep them guessing your age. Look younger by choosing styles that keep attention upward and outward on the face. Upswept frames do just that. They visually lift the face making you look younger. Eyewear with heavy bottoms or a downward sweep such as aviator styles are best left for the young… not the young at heart. Avoid styles that focus attention downward. An extra touch of colour on the upper frame or…

A closer look at online shopping for eyeglasses
