Thinner, Lighter Frames and Cosmetic Tints Are In
Global colour authority Pantone has revealed its Colour of the Year for 2025, and it’s a shade we can wholeheartedly get behind! The chosen colour is Mocha Mousse, a warm brown hue with earthy undertones. This comforting colour is unpretentious as a timeless classic with a depth of richness and sophistication. Think of coffee and chocolate – warm, comforting and soothing. It’s giving 2010 Ripple advert vibes!
As we age, most of us will need some help with our vision, whether for reading or for reading and seeing things at a distance. With age, just like the muscles in our body, the muscles in our eyes stiffen, so adjusting to different focal lengths can become difficult. However, at Respectacle Company, we have all the solutions to help.
At Respectacle Company, we often talk about our services, which include eye examinations, contact lens checks, teaching contact lens handling, and showcasing our outstanding eyewear collections. However, we have yet to mention what happens once our customers select a pair of frames and how we customise them based on their unique prescription.
There are many different types of spectacle lenses available on the market. As we age, there will most likely come a time when your optician recommends switching to a varifocal lens. Varifocal lenses are the most advanced type of lens you can buy. They provide vision for all distances in a single lens and are an option for people over 40 who have presbyopia.
A lot of people cringe at the prospect of wearing varifocals. Even when they are the best solution for a customer’s prescription and lifestyle needs. We frequently get told they have tried varifocal lenses in the past and didn’t get on with them. For example, they made the wearer feel odd or sick, they struggled to find the reading area or felt a swimming effect. Another popular comment is that the intermediate area isn’t big enough for the computer work they do.
Many of our clients fall into the 40 plus age category. So we thought we would talk about the many different varifocal or progressive lenses available. And why sometimes wearing them doesn’t always go to plan.
