In the long history of eyewear, European and American countries have been the major players that there have been lots of notable eyewear brands located in these countries. Famous European eyewear brands include Fendi, Flexon, Ray Ban and so forth. And American eyewear brands contain Burberry, Fossil, Nike and many others. It is acceptable to say that a majority of the world’s influential eyewear brands are headquartered in the United States and several European countries. Well, by these words we only discuss the ownership of these brands, rather than the location of eyewear production. In fact, many tops brands have established manufacturing centers in China and India for cheaper workforce. However, it is important to know that European and American brands are not the sole players in the world’s eyewear market. Japanese eyeglasses also have a certainly degree of popularity.

Until now, there are a couple of Japanese eyewear brands that are to some extent renowned. For instance, Swans is the trademark of the Japanese eyewear manufacturer Yamamoto Kogaku Co., Ltd. Founded in 1911, this eyewear company now provides optical lenses, sunglasses, goggles as well as safety eyeglasses. And its brand Swans covers a professional line of sports sunglasses, ski and snow goggles and swimming goggles. These Japanese eyeglasses may not be as fashionable and charming as European glasses. But they will never make a compromise in quality and comfort. Compared with top European brands, Japanese manufacturers usually charge lower prices.

The eyewear industry in Japan is contributed by many professional designers, who also help in boosting related Japanese eyewear brands in the international market. Living in an isolated county in Japan, Tai Hachiro is an internationally famous eyewear artisan. Handmade eyeglasses produced by this designer have been widely enjoyed by film stars and celebrities around the world.

Different ways to classify eyeglasses styles

August 10th, 2010 by Connie Robertson No comments »

In the eyeglass industry, the responsibility of precise eye examination and lens fitting lies in opticians, while individual eyeglass users are allowed to select favorable eyeglasses styles that match their personalities. It is true that prescription eyeglasses were originally solely for eyesight correction and at that time very little attention was paid to their styles. Getting proper vision aid was the single purpose in the mind. Like the situation in other industries, eyewear users never stop pursuing style enjoyment when precise lens fitting has become a tiny task. Opticians can easily get patients’ specific visual needs met with advanced lens and frame technologies. Experts in this industry are still working hard to gain more significant achievements. At the same time, there are also designers creating attractive and innovative eyewear styles. Most of the colorful and diverse eyeglass items available now are contributed by great designers. And there are different ways to classify these styles.

Frame structure is usually the most noticeable part of a pair of eyeglasses. Taking this way, it is possible to group eyewear products into full-frame, semi-rimless and rimless types. These three eyeglasses styles are provided by even all eyewear manufacturers. While the first style has a full frame encircling the lenses, the latter two styles have lenses that are only partially encircled or not encircled at all. These three styles have long been standard eyeglass frame designs, each of which has both advantages and disadvantages.

Another way to classify eyeglasses models relies on frame shape, which is also a determinative factor to eyewear appearance. Round, oval, rectangle and square are the most popular eyeglasses styles from the perspective of frame shape. The first point to know is that it is important to achieve a contrast between the frame shape and the user’s face shape. In detail, personal facial features like sharp angles should be compromised by a frame with an appropriate shape. In recent years, frame color is also widely taken into account by eyewear designers. And some users believe that eyeglasses in different colors form corresponding styles.

In recent years, with the rapid developments of sports items, sports optics is urgently needed. Such demands are so great that many investments have been ushered into the R&D of sports optics.

Because each of them wants to occupy a larger market share and attract more costumers, so the qualities, styles and functions of all sports optics have been greatly improved accordingly.

In fact, sports optics, also referring as sports protective, is mainly used by people who love to do some sports on some specific occasions. The most basic and foremost important function of sports optics is to protect the eyes of its wearers. Later, it bears more functions.

Sportsmen hold very high requirements on the safety of their eyes. Correspondingly, sports protective can always meet these demands. Some sports protective can filter out some light waves, which can always influence people’s visions; some sports protective can block all harmful radiations from the sun. Particularly, for the wearer who may go through a snow field, sports protective is essential. For it can block the glares reflected by the snow, which can lead to snow-blind.

There are sports protective devices of different sorts, and most of which are impact-protective and resistant. Suppose a cyclist who rides outside, he must be in need of a pair of sports protective goggle. He can not tell what he may encounter, especially the accidentally external force. With sports protective, he will not worry about such problem. As sports protective can resist impact and external force to a great degree, so he will be well protected.

Generally, sports optics can be divided into two categories, viz. prescription and non-prescription. This has assured that almost all people can wear sport optics without any hesitance.

Rimmed sunglasses offer maximum protection

August 9th, 2010 by Mark Burns No comments »

Prescription eyeglass users are currently allowed to select a pair of full-frame, semi-rimless and rimless glasses. These three styles have respective pros and cons. Partial-rimmed eyeglasses and those without a rim may bring a more attractive look, but they are delicate and easy to be broken. It is widely known that the sunwear industry allows more innovative and bold designs. Since half-frame design has been long around in the prescription eyewear world, sunwear designers will also apply it to their products. Till now, both rimmed sunglasses and half-rim sunglasses are widely available. These two forms are quite similar in frame structure to related styles in prescription eyeglasses. Some people may wonder that why rimless sunglasses can hardly be found, when half-rim sunglasses have gained a certain degree of popularity.

Well, sunwear designs are largely limited by the essential features of these products. The most important and traditional point of developing sunglasses is to gain eye protection against UV rays. The lenses over the eyes are the key part which offers this protection. Only the covered part of the eyes will be under such protection. The situation in prescription eyeglasses is quite different that by seeing through the lenses proper vision correction will be present. Due to this essential feature of sunwear, all designers try to enable their products to shield the wearers’ eyes as much as possible. A common and natural design is to use large frame and lenses. And only rimmed sunglasses are able to hold the big lenses firmly.

Sunglasses in a rimmed design have been the mainstream in this industry for many years. Sunwear designers usually use a full frame to wrap around the large lenses, covering closely a maximum part of the eyes. This full-rimmed design is nearly the sole player in the protective sunwear world. Protective rimmed sunglasses are now widely used in circumstances involving balls, racquets or flying objects. Protective sunglasses must be strongly impact-resistant. From the lens perspective, polycarbonate is the most popular material used to make protective sunglasses. Moreover, a full-rimmed frame design is equally important. Only a full frame can achieve maximum impact resistance.

Three compound forms of vision eyeglasses

August 9th, 2010 by Mark Burns No comments »

In this article, we talk about vision eyeglasses, which refer to eyewear products that are use for either vision correction or eye protection. In some cases, they are also called optical glasses or optics glasses. The second explanation clearly shows that these products use optical lenses which have certain optical features. The meaning of optical is “connected with the sense of sight or the relationship between light and sight”. Taking the second part, optical lenses are quite critical and they can be considered as a bridge between the surrounding light and the wearer’s eyesight. Evaluating their functionality of vision correction, there are regular prescription eyeglasses, such as myopia glasses, hyperopia glasses and presbyopia or reading glasses. Focusing on other capabilities, optical lenses can be used to produce regular sunglasses and protective goggles.

All these products are the original forms that take advantage of only one facet of optical lenses. They can be considered as simple forms of vision eye glasses. But actually there are some compound forms of vision eyeglasses, which refer to vision spectacles that combine two or more functions together. Until now, any two of the original forms eyewear can be combined. And consequential products are prescription sunglasses, sports or performance sunglasses and bifocal or trifocal safety glasses.

Prescription sunglasses are able to compromise regular vision problems like myopia and hyperopia, and offer proper eye protection against hazardous UV light. This form of vision glasses can be considered as a combinational product of regular Rx eyeglasses and regular UV sunglasses. Compared with these regular forms, prescription sunwear marked a significant improvement. Sports or performance sunglasses are also combinational products that they should be made with extra impact resistance because they will get involved in risky sports. Certainly, UV protection will be firstly guaranteed. Taking advantage of certain lens treatments, these vision eyeglasses will help athletes and amateurs improve performance. Bifocal and trifocal safety glasses are compound eyewear that is used by presbyopic patients working in a dangerous workplace. For this group of people, these products are very helpful.

Accordingly the manufactures of vintage sunglasses will push them into a new upsurge.

Generally speaking, the vintage elements of retro sunglasses are reflected in various ways. Some retro sunglasses stress on the materials used in the past. For instance, RB 2132 sunglasses are typical cases. They are classic retro sunglasses, which are made from metal frames and glass lenses. These materials are generally employed before 1950s.

Some other retro sunglasses underline the styles of designs.

What to avoid while shopping for standard glasses

August 8th, 2010 by Edward Turner No comments »

Glasses for vision correction are used by billions of people around the world. It is needless to say that such a large group of people has issued various requirements. Eyeglass lenses as the exact part offering visual correction have little influence on eyewear appearance. Frame is the most decisive part. As we know, eyeglasses frames can be made of plastics, metals, and possibly leather, horn and wood. They are available in rectangle, round, square and so forth. Theoretically all regular and compound colors can be applied to eyeglass frames. Rimless, semi-rimless and full-frame are three fundamental frame styles. Eyeglasses using these colorful designs will certainly show different effects. From a certain perspective, there are standard glasses and unusual glasses. This classification is generally based on the overall appearance of frames.

The large group of eyeglass users can be divided into traditional, conservative ones, modern, fashion-conscious ones and the others in between. People’s fundamental living attitude will always affect their preference towards daily goods and accessories. A traditional customer usually chooses standard products, while a fashion-oriented purchaser will select fashionable items. Shopping for prescription eyeglasses will also reflect the different guidelines followed by these two different groups of people. Standard glasses are regular ones that look traditional and relatively plain. In contrast, fashionable eyeglasses can take use of even the most innovative design concepts and the boldest elements.

It is true that fashion eyewear products continue to gain popularity and customer acceptance in recent years. But standard glasses are still the mainstream. For the sake of ordinary eyeglass consumers, it is necessary to point out some avoidable elements while shopping for standard eyeglasses. Splendid colors like rose, red and green should not be added to the frame. Regular frame shapes include rectangle, round and square. Others like cat-eye and heart shape are inadvisable.
