Eyewear Talk

Hello to everyone who reads our blog! The weather is finally getting better here in Illinois. It is sunny and warm! Isn’t that what we were waiting for! I wanted to give you a heads up that we are now, officially, selling Burberry sunglasses and Burberry eyeglasses. I am almost positive that everyone is familiar with that brand and loves it for a very unique brand name design. I always wanted to get a pair of Burberry sunglasses, especially if I saw someone else wearing them. They just look so good, don’t you agree.

Their collection is great. It has styles for absolutely everyone. They have sunglasses with a hidden logo for those who don’t like big logos on the frames. They have glasses with big logos for those who everyone to see what glasses you are wearing. They have small and large models. The best part is that every model comes with a custom Burberry carrying case. Burberry eyewear is also available in a prescription form!

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.

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 :).

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

Winter is here and it’s time for fun in the snow. When buying ski goggles for you ski trip or snowboarding look for lenses in the vermillion color. Yes, real adventures wear Pink!

Why is Vermillion the number one choice for skiers? Why choose a vermillion lenses instead of the more common grey types on the market? The Vermillion lenses actually enhance contrast, increasing depth perception by filtering haze and reducing glare, making them a perfect choice for snow activities.  So don’t delay, get your goggles today!

Prada Linea Rossa Sunglasses (or they are often called Prada “Red Stripe”) are designer sunglasses for sport enthusiasts. This is a trendy line of Prada sunglasses that offers a unique combination of fashion and sport designs. The collection currently mainly consists of sun styles that vary from classic plastics to modern metal frames.  All the sunglasses are accompanied with a red stripe  Prada logo on the temples. Most of the frames are rxable and can be fitted with ophthalmic lenses. Check out OpticsPlanet full collection of the latest styles from Prada eyewear (including Prada prescription sunglasses) for more details.

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

We all know that winter is here. We already had snow and freezing weather and it is only the second week of December. It is a great time to get all of your winter gear ready for skiing, snow boarding, traveling and etc. I am sure that each and every one of us needs at least on pair of ski goggles. That is of course if you are a skier.

To tell you the truth I can not wait to open up the ski season this year. I have bought new goggles for myself few weeks ago and I really want to try them. They are Bolle Simmer Ski goggles form the new Bolle goggle collection this year. I have had Bolle goggles before and I love them for not fogging up when I am skiing down the hill. Also, great goggles are Spy Optic goggles.

It is a great time to start you shopping and even get it on time for Christmas!

I am happy to announce that we have added some new brands to our eyewear collection! Optics Planet now has Polo eyewear available for ordering.
