The Sun Is Here! (Sort of...)

It may be winter here in Portland for a few more weeks, but the sun is already starting to peek out from behind the clouds. Even in cloudy weather, harmful UV rays can poke through and damage your eyes, causing cataracts, melanoma, and other nasty eye ailments. The solution: good sunglasses. A good pair of sunglasses does more than just make the sun a little more bearable; it filters UV, allowing you to rest assured that you are saving your vision and your eye health, so you can continue to enjoy the sunshine for many years to come. Here at The Eye Studio, we have foreseen the need for sun protection in this time-between-times with a variety of new styles from top designers like Oliver Peoples, Paul Frank, Mykita, Maui Jim, and more! Stop by and check it out, your eyes will thank you.

141 Eyewear: Products With A Purpose

It's a new year at the Eye Studio, and we are super excited to introduce a line of designer frames from our very own Shu-Chu Wu: 141 Eyewear. Handmade in Japan, these high quality plastic frames come with a very interesting idea: What if for every frame we sold, we gave away a complete pair of prescription glasses to someone in need? Shu-Chu got a head start on that dream in Taiwan this January (read about it here: "141 Eyewear Clinic: Jiasian"). And now we are proud to announce the first unveiling of 141 Eyewear exclusively at The Eye Studio for a limited time. Come on in and check it out, after all, how often do you get to meet the person who designed your eyeglass frames?
