Eyewear by Hair Colour

The hair colour eyeglasses concept is not set in stone. In the end it is all about how you feel when you put on your frames that will help you decide if they are the perfect fit! However, it's always fun to learn about what can compliment your individual look. So here's the latest word on hair colour and eyewear...

Blondes...

Those with a fair and rosy complexion and natural to bright hair should choose frames that are subtle if they are choosing to play it safe. Honey, pink, pale blue, pale green and any of the various pastel shades will compliment the face without drawing attention away from your eyes and bone-structure.

Now, if you're looking to take a walk on the wildside"contrast" is the name of the game. Shoot for thick black or tortoise-coloured frames to add texture to your look!

Brunettes & Ravens...

While it may be an extreme move for your blonde friends, tortoise shell frames are your go-to! Earthtones like plum and maroon bring out brown, hazel and green eyes. Also consider deep reds, coral, warm green, gold, copper, peach, or khaki frames to complement warm-toned hair.

If you have black hair you just may be lucky enough to wear whatever you'd like. Just like black clothing is so versatile, so can black hair.

Redheads...
Consider rusty red or a deep forest green,or a dark shade of blue. If you're feeling adventurous go big, bright and vibrant for some fun.As far as frames go, the cat-eye shape will bring a vintage flare to your look.

Analyzing Astigmatism

What is Astigmatism?

Astigmatism is one of a group of eye conditions known as refractive errors. Refractive errors cause a disturbance in the way that light rays are focused within the eye.

Astigmatism is not a disease nor does it mean that you have ‘bad eyes’. It simply means that you have a variation in the shape of your cornea. Not all corneas are perfectly curved, just as sets of teeth are seldom perfectly aligned. There are many variations that might occur in the corneal surface. The degree of variation determines whether or not you need corrective eyewear.

The tendency to develop astigmatism is inherited; for that reason, some people are simply more prone to develop astigmatism than others are

Astigmatism is diagnosed through the process of a comprehensive eye health examination.

Your Optometrist will recommend corrective eyewear to help the eye focus in a more effective manner.Your Optometrist will perform precise tests during your comprehensive eye health examination to determine precisely the ideal lens prescription.
