Mid-Range Vision Poses Problems For Many Computer Users – Computer Glasses can help

Writing in the Wall Street Journal (8/17, D1) “Health Journal” on the front of the Personal Journal section, Melinda Beck points out that many people have difficulty seeing objects in the mid-range of their vision, particularly computer screens.

A high quality progressive lens can sometimes help with this issue, but is very dependent on the patients requirements.  There are always trade-offs that are going to need to be made. If you are spending all day in front of the computer for work, then it can be worth it to get a pair of glasses with lenses that a designed specifically for the patient and computer usage. A high quality computer lens provides maximum “mid distance” coverage.  This results in less strain on the eye and neck.  Having the right tools for the job is always important, and your vision is one of your most important tools!

Stylish New Sunglasses Are More Than Meets the Eye

MICHAEL, Michael Kors 2609S

A growing number of people are seeing the light and finding sunglasses an ideal combination of function and fashion. Research has shown that people today are more aware than ever of the need to protect theireyes from the harmful rays of the sun.

A major common misconception about sunwear is that the darker the sun lens the more protection provided. This is not true.  Choosing a lighter or darker lens sunglass is simply a matter of personal choice and eye comfort.  The real issue is protection from UV  (ultra-violet) rays. Always choose sunglasses that offer 100% UV protection.

Polarized lenses are a great feature. They are the only lenses that eliminate glare. All other sun lenses simply darken glare.

Silhouette? new Titan Design line

Purity, precision and minimalism for the new vision collection, a symbol of classical design

Purity, precision, minimalism and unique quality: these are the characteristics of true classical design that are symbolized by Silhouette’s new Titan Design rimless vision collection.

Inspired by the desire for simplicity, infinity, a love of detail and the constant search for innovation, it is not by chance that Titan Design is part of the Essential line by Silhouette.

The collection has two expressions: one is contemporary – with avant-garde construction details such as temples with no screws and hinges and the use of innovative materials like hi-tech titanium and SPX – and the other is the timeless design inspired by the marvels of architecture.

The meticulously precise lines of the rimless frames are in harmonious contrast with the colored insert featured on the double temples. As befits classical eyewear, this masterpiece of style is suitable for women’s faces as well as men’s because of its minimalist lines and the variety of colors with 12 possible color combinations.

As with all Silhouette models, the new Titan Design can be personalized by choosing the color of the frame and the shape of the lenses to suit the facial characteristics and style of the wearer, thanks to the help of Silhouette’s professional consultancy program, Rimless Aesthetics.

Silhouette’s new Titan Design line comes in a harmonious selection of colors. A look can be chosen according to personal style. From “business” colors – daily business, upper class and chess impressions – to more daring combinations – ivory beauty, spring blossom, silver sky – to decidedly feminine hues – sweet melody, red lady, and pretty woman – and to warm velvet oak, autumn breeze and ebony touch.

Silhoutte eye glasses are available at Fine Eyewear, located the three corners of Cedar Park, Austin and Round Rock, TX and a short drive from Georgetown, TX. Our address is 2800 E. Whitestone Blvd Suite 210 Cedar Park, TX 78613. See main website for contact information. www.FineEyewear.Net
