Ray Laser Lens
Spectacles Never Have To Be Unfashionable
Glasses are one of those iconic fashion items. There's a major push of advertising that is trying to persuade us that contact lenses are more convenient, or that laser surgery is the ultimate cure for wearing spectacles, but as someone who wears glasses I remain unconvinced. True, contact lenses have some advantages when playing sports or if it's raining, but even disposable lenses aren't that convenient as you fish around in your eyeball to flip a folded lens corner over.
Surgical options seem as though they should be the last course of action, rather than the first. The most popular solution is now turning into a competitive business and seems to be opening itself up to some of the pitfalls commonly associated with the cosmetic surgery sector. Plus it's non-reversible, so if you are one of the unlucky percentage that don't benefit, your eyesight may actually get a lot worse.
The major problem that I found wearing glasses was that I couldn't use sunglasses and see properly on holiday, now with prescription sunglasses and tints on lenses that's not a problem at all. So if I fancy a great pair of oakley sunglasses I can get these made to custom specifics. Tweaking a pair of designer frames with a number of extras such as anti-reflective coatings to make you look better in pictures or scratch-resistant lenses is all part and parcel of the ordering service.
So the logic that glasses somehow inconvenience you in any way is flawed. It's self-evident, as anyone who doesn't wear spectacles will normally wear sunglasses, and no-one seems in a hurry to get rid of their ray ban wayfarer glasses at any point. The mythical inconvenience of having to carry and wear a pair of sunglasses somehow escapes the stigma attached to other sets. I can't see the contact lens market making much of an inroad into the shades market either, I briefly flirted with a tinted coloured pair a few years ago, but dark or black lenses are strictly the preserve of TV and horror films.
