Below is a sample of the type of panoramic imaging we can take with this amazing technology!

Introducing: Optifog!

Those of us who wear glasses, we've all had this experience. It's cold outside. You've been walking down the street and you arrive at your destination. You walk in and suddenly everything in front of you is a blur. Your glasses have fogged up. You have to either wait it out or fumble for a cloth to wipe them off. You hope no one notices your embarrassment. It's not always just about inconvenience, either. As anyone who wears glasses under a motorcycle helmet can tell you, fogging lenses can be dangerous. Imagine you're on the freeway and suddenly your lenses have fogged to the point of obscuring your vision, in the middle of traffic! And those who wear sports glasses know too well that fogging often happens right when you need to see the ball. Whatever your experience, most of us just put up with it, because lenses just fog. It's just a fact of life.

Or rather that used to be a fact of life. Because now there is a lens that breaks up fog before it has a chance to form. Crizal Optifog is a new coating from Essilor that prevents fogging. Apply an activator once a week and your lenses won't condense with temperature change. Simple as that. Of course, we've all seen the cheesy infomercials about products to apply to your lenses to prevent fogging. The difference between those products and this coating is that the anti-fog properties are inherent to the actual coating of the lens, allowing far better durability and scratch resistance as well as Crizal's famous anti-reflective properties. The activator merely works with the coating in the lens allowing it to accomidate to weather change without condensation. And it works.

Here at the Eye Studio we're all super excited about this new lens coating technology, and we hope you will be too. Check out the manufacturer's website for some funny videos and some actual science: www.optifog.com

Fresh From Paris: Gold & Wood!

This week the Eye Studio has been blessed with a shipment of some our favorite frames straight from Paris. Gold & Wood frames are handmade out of exotic wood and buffalo horn farmed in Luxembourg and crafted to exacting standards of quality. These frames have to be tried on to really appreciate the luxurious comfort of natural wood, soft and super lightweight. Today I thought I'd show off a few of our new crushes:


The first frame, codename B14.2, is made of bubinga and gives a great balance of style between the openness of a rimless frame and the thick and chunky top half.

Hiding amongst the reeds of bamboo is B11.2A, an anthracite/aluminum hybrid with a bold modern style that looks even better when you put it on.

In the super-hot sunglass category we have two entries: This one (named H23P) hearkens back to an aviation style with a smart browline wood detail and matching wood temples.

And finally we have an amazing horn/ebony wood combination sunglass (B09.04) with an old-school soul.

There were lots of contenders for photo documentation this time that didn't make the cut, so you really must come by and try these frames on. You'll be glad you did. Also, feel free to check it out at home: Gold & Wood.

The New Season of Eyewear Is Approaching...

...and some of it is already here! Here at the Eye Studio we have been so busy stocking exciting new product from our favorite designers, we almost forgot to share. Well, rest assured, we haven't forgotten you. Here are some of the best:

Oliver Peoples has released a fresh collection of winter/spring eyewear, with a stunning image campaign featuring musician Devendra Banhart and his girlfriend, Rebecca Schwartz. Check it out at www.oliverpeoples.com, and see some of the collection right here!

Our favorite new line is l.a. Eyeworks, and we have many lovely new styles and more on the way. Check out the frame of the week at the l.a. Eyeworks blog, l.a. Eyeworks Wide World.

Lafont's bold new campaign features some great new colors and shapes. Classic handmade French eyewear has never been this fun. See some more at www.lafont.com.

Finally our favorite designer turned movie director, Tom Ford, brings us fabulous forward fashion in a sleek modern package. We have lots of new styles with more on the way, and this line is definitely worth the trip. More at Tom Ford's website.
