David in Flexon

Not every guy looking for new shades is as lucky as our David C! He was looking for a fashion assist on his decision so we asked you to vote on which pair of shades was the best choice. Remember – David’s got an oval face, pale skin with a rosy cast, a professional lifestyle that includes outdoorsy stuff, and a fairly bold style.

The style masses have spoken. And it’s time for frame choices 2 & 3 to make their concession speeches.  You decided David looks best in frame 1. Fashion democracy at its finest!

Frame 1, the Flexon Sun Force (in Coffee),  not only compliments David, but it has this cool feature. You can twist the metal frame around your finger and it will pop right back to its original shape. Shades that come with a party trick! What’s not to love?

P.S. If you don’t have a group of people to help vote on the best frames for you, get some expert fashion advice on eyeconic.com.

How Buddy Holly Got Those Famous Glasses

Did you ever wonder where Buddy Holly got his iconic glasses? It’s quite an interesting story. His eyesight was terrible; he couldn’t even read the top line of the eye chart. But he didn’t want his glasses to affect his rebellious image. So he tried contact lenses, but he couldn’t deal with them on stage because they were too uncomfortable. Finally it was his eye doctor who found the perfect frames for him…and the rest is history.

I had a friend tell me once that she found eyeglasses egodystonic .  “That’s unfortunate,” I thought, “because, you’re getting old and we all know that like hairy ears and sagging buttocks,   presbyopia is but one harbinger of our gradual physical decline.”  I didn’t say it out loud because a tendency for over-emotionalism also often accompanies the plight of the aging.  At any rate, I put on my optician’s hat and advised her of her options: mono-vision contact lenses or laser surgery, a secret stash of reading glasses, refraining from anything requiring near vision, or sucking it up and getting a pair of specs.

With long teeth, she saw her eye doctor and then embarked upon a tear-laden journey to find frames that would not disrupt her lens-free self-image.  Naturally, I assumed she’d find something nearly invisible, like a pair of drilled rimless mountings that would perch imperceptibly on her petite little snout.  That was not to happen.  Miss Egodystonic found the haute couture equivalent of the optical world and availed herself of their exotic wares.  Not only was she old, but she was bold as well.  As an added bonus, she could read again.
