Do your eyes get blurry when you are watching TV? The most common culprit in today's world is that you are going back and forth between your phone or tablet, and your television. This back and forth can cause a ton of strain on your eyes, causing blurry vision everywhere until you let your eyes rest and regain their focusing ability! via |
Schematic of the Zeiss Digital Lens via. Notice that in the bottom of the lens there are 2 little thumbprints. These are the near vision "boost" zones where you would look through to see your cell phone or tablet. Don't worry, they are 100% clear so you won't see them in your glasses. This diagram is just trying to illustrate that the lens is not a progressive -- there are no peripheral vision distortions and no moving your head or neck into the right place. We naturally hold our cell phone down and to one side (whichever hand you are holding it in) so the zones are positioned in the natural viewing place for hand held devices! No head or neck movement necessary. |

The concept is a simple recipe for success -- why do you have to sacrifice vision for comfort? Or comfort for vision? If you are an RGP or soft contact lens wearer and feel like you are sacrificing, then maybe this is your answer. via |
Simultaneous Vision is just a nicer way to say ghosting, but putting a positive spin on the struggle of seeing in multifocal contact lenses is fighting the good fight. You need to prepare the patient that they likely aren't going to like how they see at first. Probably for several days. Give the brain time to practice and learn, and things should start getting better! It is 100% expected for your reading vision to look like the paragraph above if you are a first time multifocal contact lens wearer via |
Mixing white with gold is always a winning choice. Gold metal accents always transition well into fall and winter because of the warm color palate that we typically associate with these seasons. If you break down the color theory, by pairing white (a cool color) with gold (a warm color) you are achieving a look that should be great with any outfit, any skin tone, and any season. via |
I know they are rather avant garde, but I have been a huge fan of Prada's collection this year featuring oversized plastics with large gemstones. Where the loud color combos used in other sunglasses in this collection can look almost juvenile (bright yellow sunglasses and cobalt blue bedazzles anyone?), the white on white look is much more sophisticated. It could look great even with a white wool coat, scarf and hat in the middle of winter. via |
I would wear these glasses every day if I owned them. Literally every day. When I saw them on Eye See Euphoria, it was just love at first sight. The art deco-inspired detailing over the browline is a nod to another major trend in eyewear, making this pair of glasses really fashion forward for the moment. via |
Round is not leaving us any time soon, and as the trend sticks around more and more people are beginning to dare to try it. If you want a younger and more fun look, then you need to go big with this trend. Oversized plastics in round shapes are almost cartoon-like, but there is no denying that you are making a statement.Wildfox Round White Sunglasses via |
If you like the idea of white round sunglasses, but want a more mature and sophisticated route, look for a frame that is more delicate in size. Round glasses are always going to look very graphic because you are creating a new shape on your face, so keeping the size smaller and the color more subdued can make round glasses actually wearable for the average person. These Rochas frames are a really understated take on the trend, and therefore much more wearable than your average round pair of glasses via |

Your tear film is made of 3 layers. The lipid layer (surface coating) is usually the one that is compromised in dry eye, so the best artificial tear drops will help replace or stabilize this lipid layer. via |
