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.

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

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.
What is Symptomatic VMA?
As a person gets older, the central gel that fills the eye called the vitreous liquefies and loses shape, leading to separation of the vitreous from the retina located at the back of the eye. This separation is a normal part of aging and is called a posterior vitreous detachment (PVD). However, if the separation is not complete, small areas of the vitreous can remain attached to the macula, the part of the retina that is responsible for your sharp, central vision. If this attachment causes the retina to be pulled, the condition is called symptomatic vitreomacular adhesion (symptomatic VMA). It can lead to distortion of your vision, a decrease in vision, and/or a loss of central vision in more severe cases.
Who is at Risk for Symptomatic VMA?
Much like posterior vitreous detachment (PVD), symptomatic VMA typically occurs in individuals over the age of 50 and is most common in elderly individuals over the age of 70. It is also slightly more common in women and nearsighted individuals.
What are the signs and symptoms of Symptomatic VMA?
Symptomatic VMA may lead to various symptoms such as distortion of your vision, a decrease in vision, and/or a loss of central vision.
How Does Symptomatic VMA Damage My Eyes?
Symptomatic VMA is a result of the macula, center of the retina, being pulled. This pulling disrupts the retinal architecture and can lead to several problems such as vitreomacular traction and full thickness macular hole.
Eye care professionals are able to detect symptomatic VMA through a complete, dilated eye examination including an optical coherence tomography (OCT) examination. During the eye exam, the eye doctor widens the pupil of the eye (dilates the eye) with eye drops to allow a closer look at the inside of the eye. The OCT examination provides images of the back of the eye including the vitreous and retina, allowing eye doctors to accurately diagnose symptomatic VMA. Diagnosis is difficult without an OCT examination.
Current options for patients with symptomatic VMA are “watchful waiting,” surgical removal of the vitreous gel (vitrectomy), and intraocular injection of medication.

Rates of short sightedness among young people have soared because of smartphones, a leading laser eye surgeon has claimed. David Allamby, Founder of Focus Clinics, says there has been a 35 per cent increase in the number of people with advancing myopia (short sightedness) since the launch of smartphones in 1997. He has warned the problem could increase by 50 per cent in the next ten years.
Mr Allamby said: ‘If things continue as they are, I predict that 40 to 50 per cent of 30-year-olds could have myopia by 2033 as a result of smartphones and lifestyles in front of screens – an epidemic we call screen sightedness.

If you’re a layperson, this is the way you probably think of generics: They’re the exact same products in different packaging.
The FDA agency’s definition of bioequivalence is surprisingly broad: A generic’s maximum concentration of active ingredient in the blood must not fall more than 20% below or 25% above that of the brand name. This means a potential range of 45%, by that measure, among generics labeled as being the same.
There are other differences. The generic must contain the same active ingredient as the original. But the additional ingredients, known as excipients, can be different and are often of lower quality. Those differences can affect what’s called bioavailability — the amount of drug that could potentially be absorbed into the bloodstream.
These and other factors need to be taken into consideration, especially if your medicate is designed to save your eyesight or other vital organs.
