I’ll Be Back!

For those that remember the iconic look that Linda Hamilton rocked as Sarah Connor in Terminator 2, you will be thrilled to know that the creator, Matsuda Eyewear, has reintroduced this magnificent piece of art in a limited edition celebration.

The Futuristic and Classic look brought to the forefront of fashion by Matsuda Eyewear

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the launch of Mitsuhiro Matsuda’s eyewear collection, they are reintroducing one the collection’s most coveted designs. This style embodies all of the design elements and unique details that catapulted Matsuda into the spotlight 25 years ago. As part of the Matsuda Heritage Collection, the 2809H has been updated with the option to wear the frame with either removable sideshields, or a removable spring brow bar. The polarized lenses are crafted from the highest quality mineral glass and are treated to provide full UV protection. A multilayer anti-reflective coating is applied to the back of each lens reducing unwated and distracting reflections.
With each 2809H taking over 122 hours of workmanship to create, they have released just 250 pieces of each color.
At Fine Eyewear, we are proud to have one of these rare and beautiful pieces in our office. Stop on in and pick up this collectors must have of eyewear history!

Smart phones assist the blind

Smartphones and tablets, with their flat glass touch screens and nary a texture anywhere, may not seem like the best technological innovation for people who cannot see. But advocates for the blind say the devices could be the biggest assistive aid to come along since Braille was invented in the 1820s.

People with vision problems can use a smartphone’s voice commands to read or write. They can determine denominations of money using a camera app, figure out where they are using GPS and compass applications.

TalkBack, a Google-made application that adds spoken, audible and vibration feedback to a smartphone.

Among Apple’s features are ones that help people with vision problems take pictures. In assistive mode, for example, the phone can say how many heads are in a picture and where they are in the frame, so someone who is blind knows if the family photo she is about to take includes everyone.

About 10 million people in the United States are blind or partly blind, according to statistics from the American Foundation for the Blind. And some estimates predict that over the next 30 years, as the vast baby boomer generation ages, the number of adults with vision impairments could double.

On all the mobile platforms, people with vision loss say, the real magic lies in the hundreds of apps that are designed specifically to help people who are blind.

Fashion Eyewear, Glasses and Contacts

THIN metal granny frames are out and cat eyes are in – the bigger, the better.

Industry experts say fashion eyewear has moved towards chunky, plastic frames in bright colours – much like the look favoured by stars such as Gwen Stefani.

The wayfarer geek glasses made famous by Leonard in the hit TV show The Big Bang Theory were very in at the moment.

Cat eye frames in different colours, styles and textures were also popular. Fashion can be fickle, what’s old can be new again – and eyewear is no different.   Eyewear today is designed to be daring and bold.

While the trend appears to be moving away from the lighter and smaller look to a heavier look, the possibilities are extensive.

The focus for eyewear is on fashion

In the 1950s, thick horn-rimmed and cat-eye styles ruled, while the latter part of the ’60s saw a move toward circular, more delicately-framed models like those worn by John Lennon. Then came the headlight-sized lenses of the ’70s – favored by former first lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis – and the ’80s, when trendy four-eyers liked to bedazzle their massive glasses.
In the early 20th century, popular styles included a tortoiseshell frame with large, round lenses favored by silent film actor and comedian Harold Lloyd, whose photos and movies ignited one of the nation’s first Hollywood celebrity-driven fashion crazes.
When it comes to spotting future fashion trends, hindsight is often a good place for a designer to start.
 So, what’s hot in spectacles for fall 2013? An edgy new twist on the lorgnette, perhaps?

Maui Jim Adds the Kolohe and Kawika Sunglasses

Kawika
Kawika

Maui Jim has debuted two new, tech-updated sunglasses, the Kolohe and Kawika. The styles are based on some of the first designs ever created by the company. Vintage details are what make both of these sunglasses trend-worthy thanks to the fine filigree-scrolled silver/nickel temples and nose bridges on thin, lightweight nylon frames. Both frames come with adjustable silicone nosepads and traditional hinges. Both frames feature MauiPure lenses, a non-glass lens that is ultra-lightweight, as well as scratch- and impact-resistant, with up to nine layers of glare-cutting, UV-eliminating and color-enhancing technology. The company’s patented PolarizedPlus2 lens technology and bi-gradient mirrors are also available and both styles are protected with waterproof and oleophobic coatings. MauiPure lenses are not available in prescription; however, the Kolohe frames can accommodate Maui Jim’s authentic prescription lens materials: Maui Evolution or polycarbonate. www.mauijim.com

Protecting Eyes From ‘Bad’ Blue Light

 

The world can be a dangerous place, especially if viewed through the naked eye.  The threat posed by exposure to ultraviolet light is well known to eyecare professionals, and a growing number of consumers are becoming aware of it as well, thanks to advertising by sunglass companies . Protect your eyes with sun lenses wear lenses that block UV rays up to 400 nanometers. Now a new ocular threat has emerged in the form of High Energy Visible (HEV) light. HEV is prevalent not just outdoors, but indoors as well. The indoor threat is posed largely by digital devices such as computer screens, tablets, smartphones and televisions, particularly the new flat screen models with OLED screens.

Fine Eyewear and Eyecare offer many fine sunglasses options to protect against harmful blue light including Oakley and Maui Jim. Our eye doctors also provide advanced vision care to the families of Austin, Cedar Park, Leander, Georgetown, Round Rock and surrounding communities.  Visit our main website for a preview of Oakley and Maui Jim and read more about our sunglasses collections : Fine Eyewear Sunglasses Collection
