Countdown to the holidays

The countdown to the holidays has begun. Whether you celebrate Chanukah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, all of them, or nothing at all, deals always make us feel better when we are shopping and certainly when on a budget.

At this time of year and particularly in this economic climate, it is important to stretch one’s hard-earned dollars as far as possible. The economy remains sluggish, but that does not mean we cannot spend money on gifts for our loved ones and friends.

Stop by My Optician in downtown Manhattan or in Brooklyn and see the great deals we have going on for the holidays. Our friendly staff will be happy to assist you as you choose from a wide selection of designer lenses, frames, sunglasses and prescription glasses to suit your needs.

My Optician – where fashion meets the eye.

Designer frames sans prescription?

It works for the beautiful Penelope Cruz, who admits to changing a pair of prescription specs that she received from director, Woody Allen into plain glass spectacles. Woody was admittedly enamored by her beauty, so much so he stuttered through a shoot that they did together recently.

Some believe that wearing plain glasses is a slap in the face to those who must rely on prescriptions in order to have good vision. Glasses have become such a fashion statement. Even individuals who wear plain old readers can find them in all shapes and sizes in very upscale stores and yes, even discount stores such as the dollar stores found in most American towns. There are even websites devoted to glasses exclusively sans prescriptions. Who knew that this would continue to be a trend years after it started?

Years ago, it was considered gauche and in poor taste to be seen wearing glasses for the sake of wearing them when one did not need a prescription. Today, they have become the fashion statement and accessory seen worn by stars and everyday people around town.

It is not just the likes of Penelope Cruz who are taken with the idea of beautiful frames to accessorize their faces. Drew Carey recently underwent laser surgery and continues to wear his black spectacles sans prescription, as they are a part of his signature look. Everyday citizens are flocking to stores in search of plain glasses. Men and women are on the hunt for the perfect accessory – and not just one pair – several pairs to complement wardrobes of varying styles: evening and formal attire, business wear, students, and job hunters – they are all seeking the look that comes with a pair of smartly fashioned lenses.

What better gift to give than a pair of designer sunglasses, eyeglass frames with plain glass or even prescriptions?

Drivewear is here!

Overcast weather? Bright light behind your car windshield? Bright light outside? Drivewear is here! It is the first lens specifically designed to meet the needs of driving.

Drivewear, Transition and SOLFX lenses are all lenses that are designed to darken behind the windshield. This makes it easier for the driver's eyes to shift their focus based on glares from the sunlight or other weather-related light changes. This glare can be the most dangerous of all driving conditions. Additionally, in these new lenses, there is a polarized filter that removes the glare from the road and provides ultimate comfort in conditions with high light.

Most consumers do not realize that Drivewear lenses do not go completely clear indoors. The tint is light green but remains light enough to see indoors.

Stop by MyOpticianNyc and see these amazing new lenses. We can add these lenses to your prescription eyeglasses, prescription sunglasses or your regular sunglasses - they just might work for you: http://www.myopticiannyc.com
