Written By Kara Keigan

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so we’re thinking pink. Pink glasses frames, that is!

Millennial pink has been a standout trend from the fashion crowds to the interior design world in the past few years. Boasting the perfect neutral pastel, pink tinted glasses are now trending in the eyewear world as well.

So what is “millennial pink?”

It is described as not quite bubble gum pink, yet somewhere between a grapefruit and salmon color. With this universally flattering shade, it’s a great trend to adopt if you’re looking to try something new—whether you are looking for an understated accessory or a focal point to your look.

What Are Asian Fit Glasses and How to Pick the Perfect Pair

Written By Barry Silver

You find yourself pushing your glasses back up your nose. It seems they slip down your face and rest on your cheeks. That’s not ideal. This is where Asian fit glasses come in.

One size does not fit all when it comes to glasses.

Perhaps you’re of Asian descent, as is the majority of the world’s population. If not, you could simply have facial features like Asian people often do.

“Asian individuals tend to have more of a flatter face with the cheek bones very projected compared to the typical European.”
Mark Hubbe, assistant professor of anthropology at Ohio State University

Eyewear manufacturers have responded with a solution, which they most often call “Asian fit glasses.” Other names have also surfaced to describe the solution:

Alternative fit
Low bridge fit
Omni fit

Transitions Signature Gen 8: What’s New in Photochromic Lenses?

Written By Oliver Torres

Transitions has been the best-selling photochromic lenses on the market for decades. The new Transitions® Signature® Gen 8 improves all the key features we’ve come to enjoy, plus there are some exciting new options.

Here’s what’s new and improved.

Faster fadeback

By far the number one complaint I get from patients regarding light adaptive lenses is the length of time it takes fully dark lenses to return to clear. Transitions VII took nearly eight minutes to return to clear. The new Gen 8 technology cuts it down by three minutes, making the fadeback time less than five minutes.

Hot Hairstyles to Go With Your Glasses

Written By Kara Keigan

Have you ever considered how your hairstyle and glasses work together to complete your look?

Your frames should match the ethos of your style while complimenting your hairstyle. In fact, there are a couple of things to consider when purchasing glasses. Have you assessed your face shape? What color frames look best with your eye color?

An easy place to start is by taking your glasses to your hairdresser. If you already own a pair and are debating switching up your hairstyle to compliment them, your hairdresser can assess your face shape and go from there.

Your hairdresser can help make real-time adjustments to your cut to ensure they are flattering to your frames. The same goes for getting your brows done. Your esthetician can help determine the shape and color of your brows to ensure they are complimenting your look behind your frames.

Consider using your hair as a tool to balance out your frames. The easiest hairstyles to compliment your frames are styles that pull your hair out of your face. A bun or a ponytail is a great way to show off your frames, knowing that there will be extra focus on your face and glasses. They can be used as a tool to divert attention or draw attention, so go for a bold frame when rocking a soft look and vice versa.
