Ray Ban keeps going forward with the famous Wayfarer style! Now they offer rare prints for the most innovative and fashion forward consumers. RayBan has introduced new models with the funky and eye-catching prints - RARE prints lol These two new colors are a part of the special limited edition series.

Ray-Ban 2140 style 102132-5022 is inspired with the artistic Flowers motif. The frame has a cool blue-violet-light green “summer” print on the front and a solid blue color on the back. There is another RB2140 model 1018-5022 that features solid black frame front and has the trendy flower print on the back.

Ray Ban 2140 1033-5022 is the Subway (or Metro) style. It has a print that represents a section of the NY subway map on the front!!! Looks kind of cool - check out the image. Same story as with the Flower model - it has a twin frame that comes black on the outside and textured with the metro print on the inside.

The good news for prescription wearers is that these frames are a part of Ray-Ban prescription sun glasses collection. You can have your Rx ground into the prescription lenses and rock in the stylish shades.

Spring is coming, get colorized with the new Ray-Ban sunglasses

I am proud to present that Optics Planet is adding Versace sunglasses and eyeglasses to our website. I never knew the styles of their glasses. However, turns out there are some great models in Versace eyewear collection.

Versace sunglasses are perfect for any occasion. They have stylish and sporty looking styles. Frames with Versace logo that everyone can see and hidden logo for business people. They have great quality frames and lenses. It is amazing. Versace eyeglasses also come in many styles: professional and funky, sporty or elegant. Some of the frames come with Swarovski crystals. Crystals are made in a special way for them not to fall off the frames with time. I encourage everyone to check out the new collection! I already know what frame I will be ordering :).

Now is a good time to check if you have any money left on your flexible spending account. Most likely if you don’t spend it by the end of the year, you will lose it. The so-called IRS “use it or lose it” rule. If you haven’t scheduled a doctor’s appointment yet, you probably won’t be able to squeeze in as everybody is booked till the end of the year. I would recommend to spend some time reading your flexible spending account expenses guide. You will definitely find something you can use your flex dollars on. For example, besides medical procedures and prescription medicine, some programs cover such things as first aid kits, band aids, cough syrup, over the counter drugs, etc. Or if you need vision correction, you might get an extra pair of prescription eyeglasses. You can get some high end Ray Ban prescription eyeglasses and Polo eyeglasses, or designer Vogue prescription eyeglasses and D&G prescription eyeglasses with your pre-tax money. If you are a fashionista and already own a few pairs of eye glasses, think about a nice pair of prescription sunglasses that you can use for driving. Ray Ban prescription sunglasses or Bolle Prescription sunglasses could be a good choice.

Use it before you lose it

The Twilight saga is discussed a lot today. The love story of a vampire and a teenage girl has divided the audience into fans and haters Like any other popular movie would.

Many spotted the sunglasses Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) was wearing in the movie - Ray Ban Wayfarer shades. Ray Ban RB 2140 (color RB2140-901) model to be exact. Ray Ban is making amazing marketing efforts advertising this style. And they are doing a pretty good job! This style hits all sales records … it has been one of the best selling styles for the last 50 years. You can see everybody wearing these sun glasses on the streets regardless of age, gender, or fashion preference.

I was planning to take the kids to Orlando to visit Disney World on their spring break. I was browsing the net making some research and came across with an interesting fact about sunglasses. “Since 1971, an estimated 1.5 million pairs of eyewear have been submitted to the Disney World Lost and Found. Over 100 pieces of sun glasses are stored into the Magic Kingdom every day.” Amazing, right?

I had a customer, recently, who called me to thank me for our great customer service. He was very worried at first when he decided to buy Wiley X Prescription sunglasses online. He said that Optics Planet website looked very good, but he was afraid to have the online shopping experience.

He called us for an advice and our eyewear specialist was very helpful and answered all of his questions. Then, he found an online store that had lower prices and we price matched the price for him. He placed an order, and was very pleasantly surprised with the quality and fast service that he got. He, now, loves his sunglasses and would not trade them for anything.

Optics Planet is a company that is here to provide you with the best possible customer service experience. We try to have the best pricing, but if you find a lower price anywhere, we will be happy to price match that price for you. We offer great authentic collections of Serengeti Prescription sunglasses and Bolle Prescription sunglasses. We will custom make Ray Ban Prescription sunglasses for you as well.

Take a look at our eyewear collection! Don’t be scared to shop online as Optics Planet is here for you!

Get sunglasses with glass lenses. Glass is known not only for its outstanding optical properties, but also for the scratch-resistance. A lot of eyewear brands offer their signature glass lenses - Serengeti and Ray Ban are some of them. If you need vision correction, some eyeglasses frames can be fitted with Rx glass lenses as well. Though I would not recommend glass if your eyeglasses prescription is high as the lenses will be thick.

If glass isn’t an option, make sure that the lenses are treated with a special coating to prevent scratches. Some lens materials like polycarbonate have scratch-resistant coating built-in, some materials like CR-39 don’t. CR-39 requires an additional anti-scratch coating to be applied on top of the lens. If you buy sunglasses, you can check with a sales rep what the lens material is and if the lenses have anti-scratch protection. When buying prescription eyeglasses, you can request an additional anti-scratch coating.

Use a cotton lens cloth to clean the lenses. Avoid rubbing them with a paper towel as it can leave micro-scratches on a lens. Also try to keep your sunglasses in a protective case when you are not using them. A good quality pair of sunglasses or eyeglasses from a decent brand usually comes in a protective case or a pouch and is accompanied by a cleaning cloth.

If you take a good care of your eyewear, it will leave longer.

With summer time upon us I would like to take the time to stress in my sunglasses blog how important swimming goggles are while we’re underwater. Whether you are in a lake, the ocean, or the local pool it is always important to keep your eyes safe. Not only are swimming goggles helpful when thinking about eye safety but they’re fun also. In a lake or the ocean there can be harmful particles in the water that can get into our eyes.

Algae, little sticks, and bacteria are just a few of the things that may harm our eyes. In the local pool the chlorine is very bad for the eyes. It dries out our eyes and could cause damage long term. So this summer please be safe and have a blast using our prescription swimming goggles underwater!!!

I just wanted to give you all an update on D&G and Vogue sunglasses. My rep came to visit me a couple of days ago. We had a lot of fun looking at the new models of D&G sunglasses and Vogue sunglasses that are already out for sale this season. Sunglasses look great! They are colorful and fun looking, at the same time they are professional and classy.

Some of the new models are D&G DD2192 sunglasses and D&G DD8022 sunglasses. For the Vogue sunglasses take a look at Vogue VO2406S sunglasses and Vogue VO3665S sunglasses. It does not conclude the list of all new models.

The great part about these new models is that most of them are available in a prescription sunglasses form.
