From Cody Mejia, our Optometric Assistant:
Eskimos are famous for their crafty engineering, and are even recognized for creating the world’s first sunglasses! Blinded by glare from the sun shining on the snow, Eskimos were determined to find a solution. They carved a small slit in pieces of bone and placed it over their eyes for protection, allowing them to see better and more comfortably. Come by and check out some fun history facts with us, we have a great mini optical museum, and a great eyewear history book!
We love retro frames at Uptown EyeCare & Optical! By the 1950's “cat eyes” had become omnipresent. This timeless shape was photographed on most stars in Hollywood with the popular explosion of feature films. One of our favorite frames “Gilda” by La Font is a part of their “Réédition Collection” and does an incredible spin on this retro look. It’s a great cat eye shape with new style. Come by our clinic and see our fabulous ABO-Certified Optician, Tina, who wears this model!
Do you ever wonder how clear vision was accomplished centuries ago? Documents show that Emperor Nero watched the gladiator events with aid from an emerald stone. In the first century AD, Seneca the Younger, tutor of Emperor Nero, notates, "Letters, however small and indistinct, are seen enlarged and more clearly through a globe or glass filled with water". The first eyeglasses however, are said to be made in Italy at about 1286. Come by Uptown EyeCare and see our collection of devises from past eras!
This is very impressive post with every minute details mentioned and clearly expressed, great job.
