April 26, 2023Glasses have been an essential part of human life for centuries, aiding in vision correction and protection against the sun's harmful rays. Let's take a look at the fascinating history of eyewear and how it has evolved over time. Early History The earliest form of eyewear consisted of a pair of magnifying lenses held together by a frame.

The Renaissance During the Renaissance, eyewear became more widespread and varied. By the 14th century, eyewear had become popular among scholars and the wealthy elite. Glasses were a symbol of intelligence and sophistication and were often worn as a fashion accessory, even by those with perfect vision. However, the production of eyewear was still limited, and most glasses were made by hand, making them expensive and exclusive. The 18th and 19th Centuries It wasn't until the 18th century

November 23, 2022Do you have a favourite pair of specs that you don't want to part with? Or perhaps, a pair with damaged lenses that you've left in a drawer to be forgotten about? If this is the case, reglazing your glasses could be the perfect choice for you. What Is Reglazing? Reglazing your glasses is a process that involves keeping your existing frames and simply adding new lenses to them. This is not only cost-efficient, as you don't need to pay for new frames, but is also more environmentally friendly. This also means that you can keep wearing your current frames for longer, even if your prescription changes. It's great to be able to update your glasses with a fancy new frame as part of the latest trend but a new frame isn't always necessary, and depending on your prescription and lenses, the cost can add up. Reglazing your lenses is a quick and easy process, allowing you to update your current glasses without having to spend additional money on new frames. Why Should I Reglaze My Glasses? Cheaper

Finding glasses that suit your face shape is crucial, but choosing glasses that suit your personality is just as important. Finding the perfect type of glasses can be a tough choice to make.
