May 19, 2021Like many other areas of fashion, eyewear trends and technology have changed drastically throughout the years. These days, they're more than just an accessory. With endless combinations of frame designs, materials, lenses and coatings, glasses can become an extension of ourselves. To highlight these changes, here's a blog outlining the history of eyewear and how it has changed. The History of Eyewear The earliest forms of glasses were created to correct farsightedness and presbyopia caused by ageing. These early glasses had lenses that aren't as refined as the ones we use today. They had a tendency to bend light which led to a blurry rainbow-like image appearing on the outer edge of the lens. This problem was eventually solved in 1730 by combining two pieces of glasses together in one lens. This was known as an achromatic lens.

January 12, 2021There's more to glasses than meets the eye and the process that goes into creating them may surprise you. In this blog, we'll give you a quick overview of the journey of how your glasses are made. What are glasses made of?

For example, metal frames are stronger but don't offer the comfortability and anti-allergy properties of acetate frames. Metal frames - Metal frames are generally more popular in men's frames but there are also plenty of options in women's and unisex designs. These metal frames are perfect for those who find their style and like to stick to it. They can stand up to the strains of modern life without losing their quality and are less likely to fade when exposed to sunlight. Most metal frames are made of stainless steel or Titanium. These metals are ideal as they are strong and lightweight. Titanium
