*Clears throat* Everybody, can I have your attention please?! Take a look at these frames. Welcome Colors of Birch to the world of eyewear.
Colors of Birch
And what a brave new world it becomes. Pekka Salokannel, a Finnish designer has come up with his first eyewear collection: Titanic. This is, I think, the first professional 3D-printedeyewear collection, a truly seminal moment.
Colors of Birch brings first-of-their-kind shapes to eyewear
3D printing is a manufacturing technology where an object is created by laying down successive layers of material, in this case Nylon. The collection comprises five and half frames (including one monocle!), designed in Finland and made in the Netherlands.
Obviously the temples are amazing, but those hinges are pretty exciting too, are they not? Forget those things you wear to the cinema; this is 3D eyewear!
Sunglasses is an important accessory during the hot
summer. Since Malaysia perpetually is a hot country, thus, wearing sunglasses is quite
normal. The only abnormal is douchebags wearing sunglasses in the shopping
centre. Actually there are various brands of tinted glasses, but most of the
people would rather buy Rayban.
If they have some extra pocket money, Wayfarer is their best choice perhaps. And, if you insisted stylo, Clubmaster will be recommeded. The problem is, even these 2 branded sunglasses is famous, but infamous to have it, because it doesn’t show the significant and unique of the sunglasses, many people wear cheap version of tinted glasses, and Damansara Uptown already stacked on the market.
So what to do? Maybe you can choose to buy some designed with futuristic sunglasses. And this is Diamond Collection designed by Anastasia Su and 13&9 Design. An Unisex Sunglasses that look stylo with the frame with geometric illusion. Really NICE! Isn’t it??
Choosing sunglasses can be an exhausting task, though. Depending on your face shape and stylistic inclinations it can be hard to weigh your own instincts against the opinions of friends and shop assistants.
Aside from just face shape, there are four aspects to consider when trying on glasses and sunglasses: fit, size, colour and shape.
Glasses Face Shape
Fit seems intuitive – you want a pair of glasses that sit comfortably on your face and nose without sliding around or sitting too tight they cause headaches.
Size is related to fit in so far as you want to choose a frame that does not create an unflattering silhouette by being either too wide or too narrow for your face.
With colour you want to choose a shade that brings out the best in your appearance – ie. If you have red undertones you’ll want to choose a frame in a contrasting colour to help disguise your imperfections.
And finally, when choosing a shape you need to keep in mind how the frames look against your overall face shape including how far down the lens will sit on the cheek and where your eyebrows fit – whether in, around or above the frame.
This isn’t an exhaustive list, of course, and says nothing of how an eye prescription will change based on the size and shape of your frame. However, if you keep in mind your face shape as well as the four keys, fit/size/colour/shape, you’re well on your way to a perfectly fit pair of glasses.
If I were to boil it down I’d encourage you to just keep in mind where the frames sit on your face (eyebrows too high/low against the frames) and width – too narrow and your face will look disproportionate, too wide and you’ll look like you’re wearing your big brother’s glasses.
As we know that "Our eyes need sunlight. We shouldn't avoid being in the sun.", "Sunlight exposure does a lot of good things for our bodies — like driving melatonin production — and is important for the sleep cycle. But we just don't want too much of a good thing.", so remember that the key is "balance".
There is a lot of research that shows the harmful effects of too much sunlight for a child's eyes, sunlight overexposure can lead to aging of the lens and retina damage. Children with fair skin tend to have lighter-colored eyes and are more vulnerable to too much sun exposure, while parents should take caution with every little looker's sun exposure.
Did you ever notice how cute kids are in sunglasses? Like those "fashion statement" sunglasses with a cool super-hero look or trimmed in teddy bear faces? More importantly, sunglasses may save their skin and eyes later in life by blocking the sun's powerful ultraviolet rays (UVR).
Children under age 10 are at a high risk for skin and eye damage from UVR. The skin on their eyelids and around their eyes is more delicate and vulnerable than adult skin. "And until about age 10, the lens of a child's eye is clear, allowing greater solar penetration and thus greater UVR-induced ocular changes," explains Adelaide A. Hebert, MD, professor and vice chair of dermatology, University of Houston. "After that, the lens starts to become more opaque, providing better protection."
UVR exposure causes 90 percent of all skin cancers. In addition, retinal exposure to UVR is associated with cataracts and macular degeneration, both causes of vision impairment. UVR damage builds over time, so the sooner you start protecting your children's eyes from the sun, the lower their risk will be of ever developing future eye problems.
Fortunately, good sunglasses protect both the skin around the eye and the eye itself. While children under 6 months old should never be exposed to the sun, once they reach 6 months, they should wear sunglasses outside. If they require prescription glasses, they should also wear prescription sunglasses......Click HERE to read more.
"We need to teach children early the importance of wearing sunglasses – just as we teach them to brush their teeth and wear a seatbelt, so that they develop good habits that last for life," concludes Dr. Hebert.
Hi all, just don't know whether did you guys noticed about Google's Glass Eyewear?
Google's high-tech glasses could use a bit more style.(Credit: Google)
Those of you who think Google Glass eyewear looks a bit geeky may be in store for a more fashionable approach.
Google is chatting with eyeglass maker Warby Parker to bring a touch of style to Glass, the New York Times said today, citing its sources as "two people briefed on the negotiations."
Neither Google nor Warby Parker would comment on the reported talks to the Times. CNET contacted both companies for comment and will update the story if we receive any information.
A startup company that's managed to raise a lot of cash, Warby Parker is known for its trendy but high-quality eyewear. Google Glasses may be high-quality but they're not exactly trendy.
The frames themselves look a bit odd without actual lenses. And the viewer through which the user sees virtual information still resembles something found on a Borg drone.
The goal is to sell Google Glasses to mainstream folks, not just techies. As one example noted by the Times, Google has been playing around with adding sunglasses and prescription lenses to the frames.The challenge now is for Google make the glasses fashion-friendly and less an object of ridicule in public.
Google's Glass designers have also been striving to add more style on their own, the Times added. The glasses first came in black but now come in other colors. They're also much lighter, while the high-tech hardware has gotten smaller.
And the cost is another challenge faced by Google. The average person who shells out a few hundred dollars for a smartphone or tablet may balk at a price tag of $1,500, even for high-tech eyeware. But Google has said that the glasses will cost less than the initial price when they officially hit the market next year.

Bilton’s Take: WithGoogle Glass, “you don’t have to pull your phone out. It’s just fascinating,” he said. “You can take pictures with a camera above your eye. You can’t even come up with this stuff.”
Becky’s Take on Google Glass: “Google Glass is kind of creepy. Also, a little rude like someone checking their phone when you’re having a conversation. But then again, if they can help me remember someone’s name at a party. Yes!
Of course, this is just some information sharing regarding the google glass eyewear, and it is nothing related to our eyesight.
if you would like to check your eyesight, please go to your nearly place Optometrist for free checkup.
To see something clearly, the light coming from the object we are looking at has to be focused on the retina at the back of the eye. This focusing is done by changes in the lenses in our eyes, just as a camera lens has to be adjusted for near and distant objects.
A relaxed normal eye will naturally focus very distant objects. When looking at something nearby, special muscles change the shape of the lens, which is quite flexible, so that the image is focused precisely on the retina. This change in shape of the lens is called accommodation.
As we get older, our lenses lose their flexibility and ability to accommodate. Focusing on close objects becomes increasingly difficult. This is why many people with 'normal' eyes will need reading glasses some time after the age of 40. This is a natural process called presbyopia.
Short-sightedness
In short-sightedness (myopia) the relaxed lens focuses distant objects somewhere in front of the retina and they are not seen clearly. Glasses or contact lenses with special lenses which 'diverge' the light are needed for distant vision, often from an early age. However, when close objects are looked at the lens does not need to change its shape, which is why people with myopia often never require reading glasses.
Long-sightedness
In long-sightedness (hyperopia) the opposite occurs. Distant objects are naturally focused behind the retina. However, the eye muscles, through accommodation, alter the lens shape and glasses are often not needed initially. Close objects are also seen clearly because of increased accommodation. However, as the lens loses its flexibility this increased accommodation cannot be achieved. Thus long-sighted people will need reading glasses at a younger age (often around 30) and may eventually need glasses or contact lenses for distant vision also, as the ability of the lens to change its shape gradually declines.

Hi there, good day! So, today I would like to talk regarding the sunglasses for MEN......
Ray-ban
With summer in full swing, it's normal to be spending most of our free time outside, doing at least one of our favourite warm-weather activities — hanging out on cool cafe terraces, casual biking in the city, and spontaneous weekends out of town.

But while these are welcome benefits of summer, longer exposure to the sun can also have some disadvantages.

Because of this, if you like spending any time outside, you should think about equipping yourself with some of the best sunglasses for men.
