Although not common, it’s possible to have an allergic reaction to your prescription eyewear.
The reaction’s bound to be caused by one of the various materials used to manufacture and coat the lenses, frames, and nose pads. The result can range from a mild skin irritation to oozing, blister-like sores around the eyes.
According to the American Optometric Association (AOA), dry eye is a diagnosis with which a person has inadequate tears available to lubricate the eye.
Tears comprise a mixture of water, fatty oils and mucus that maintain the smoothness and clarity of vision while preventing the risk of eye infections. When the tear ducts do not provide the regulation of tear lubrication, patients experience constant irritation, burning, excessive tearing and blurred vision. With each blink of an eye, tears provide nourishment across the entire surface of the cornea and wash away foreign matter.
You ordered and paid for name brand eyeglasses or sunglasses. How can you be sure they’re authentic?
Given how often eyeglasses and sunglasses purported to be name brands are actually knockoffs, you’ll want to know how to spot the fakes.
Let’s start with how the glasses are described.
Some sellers are “sneaky honest” in the way they describe the item. Look to sniff-out such tactics when descriptions say “inspired by [brand name]” or the like. For sure, don’t let the word “replica” slip past you. Also, look for misspellings, perhaps subtle ones: Pradda, or Guci, for instance.

As I watched what came down the runway during the four weeks of fashion month—from New York to London to Milan to Paris—I was amazed at how often the looks included trendy eyewear. While we fashion folks are introduced to new things every fall and spring, some eyewear trends continue to pop up.
Whether it’s introducing a new trend or reminding us that an old trend is here to stay for another season, runway shows serve as an idea of what’s to come.
I rounded up the best of the best from the four weeks of fashion month to show you some exciting eyewear trends.
