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

For a month now my friend David (whom I also work with) has been asking me when we would be selling the Smith Sunglasses. I am proud to announce that we have them. I can see why he was so pumped about it. Not only do they look sharp but to see through them explains everything. I’m not saying looking cool isn’t important, but now that I work with eye-wear, optical quality is very important. So I will explain.

One of the perks of working with sunglasses is that I get first dibs. I borrowed them and I wore them over the weekend. Can I just say this? I rocked them.  And people noticed. People asked me about them. Okay so that was my first test. But when I looked through them……..there it is. The lenses made everything sharper. My depth perception seemed better too. Visual distortion occurs when light waves hit an aggressively-curved lens causing it to bend or distort an objects true size or position. But their TLT (Tapered Lens Technology) corrects the distortion by progressively tapering the lens from the optical center towards the out edges. What you see is what you get!

I had chosen the Smith Boardwalk frames and I am excited to say that Smith Optics has a lifetime warranty on their products, and for a klutz like me, that weighs heavy. They stand by their products and so do I. I’ll stop raving now, get a pair and see for yourself.

Ray Ban came out with a great new collection. Sunglasses which are crafted from genuine deer leather. What I mean by that is that the frames will have some leather detailing on it. Sometimes it is the whole frame that is crafted from leather, sometimes it is just a small detail of the frame. In both ways sunglasses look awesome. All the work is done to perfection in Italy. They come with matching leather cases.

Most popular Ray-Ban styles were re-introduced in the Craft Collection - Ray Ban Caravan Craft, Ray Ban Wings Craft and Ray Ban Outdoorsman Craft RB3442Q. In addition to the Ray Ban unbeatable optical quality and clean & classic design, these frames feature luxurious leather real leather details. It is a great gift for someone you care about even if that someone is you! Take a look at the available model of Ray-Ban RB3415Q Sunglasses which is already orderable with prescription eyewear lenses! And as always, OpticsPlanet Sunglasses On Line Store is there for you to make any optical dreams come true

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

I was sitting home the other night and decided to watch Nip Tuck TV show. One of the main characters, Christian Troy, was wearing sunglasses so I, as always, tried to see what sunglasses he was wearing. It turned out to be Ray Ban sunglasses. I am not sure what model he was wearing exactly, but they were Ray Ban Aviator styles.

Once again, it is amazing how much people love their Ray Ban sunglasses for many many years now. It has been popular 20 years ago and it is still popular nowadays. Even the most popular styles did not change since then. Ray Ban was popular with original Ray Ban Wayfarer sunglasses and Aviator sunglasses back then and these 2 styles are still crazy popular for any generation of people.

I have recently written a post in my sunglasses blog about Pupil Distance and why this measurement is a must when you order glasses on line. A lot of people found this entry useful, so I decided to talk little bit more about other facial measurements that opticians take.

When you order eyeglasses with single vision lenses, the prescription provided by your eye care professional and PD is usually all you need. If you decide to get bifocal glasses, you will also need to know Segment Height measurement for the frame you choose. This measurement determines the height of the reading area of the lens. Why is it necessary to get an accurate seg height measurement when ordering bifocal sunglasses or eyeglasses? Because if the reading segment of the lens is misplaced, you will have to bend your neck backwards or pull the eye glasses down the nose when reading.
