Browline frames

Loading

You might notice that most of today’s “trends” are just repeats of history’s past. Fashion trends act as a pendulum and swing in and out of style, which is why so many of today’s looks are reminiscent of nostalgia. Alongside the popular ‘70s aviators, the ‘50s were a time for ultra-feminine cat-eye glasses for women and masculine browline frames for men.

Browline frames are aptly named for drawing attention to the wearer’s natural browline by using a dark, thick top portion of the frame, contrasted by a thinner lower metal frame in a squared-off rounded shape.

It’s time for some fun in the sun.

But sometimes, those who wear glasses consider it to be inconvenient when the weather heats up and the outdoor activities come calling. The alternative, of course, is contact lenses.

The question, “Doc, why are my eyes always red?” is commonly asked of me by patients. Red eyes are screaming for attention and rarely improve on their own without proper treatment.

There are several reasons your eyes can be red, many of which can be serious and should be assessed and treated by an eye doctor. Though over-the-counter eye drops exist to “get the red out,” they are only a quick fix and only mask the true eye problem.

 Your doctor may ask you questions about your red eyes at your visit.

  • How long have you had red eyes?
  • Which symptoms are you experiencing? Severity? Pain?
  • How many hours do you spend on the computer?
  • Do you take any medications?
  • Do your eyes appear red all day or do they seem worse in the morning/evening?
  • What type of contacts do you wear and how long do you wear them?
  • Have you tried any medications or drops for treatment?
