Trends

Like many other areas of fashion, eyewear trends and technology have changed drastically throughout the years. These days, they're more than just an accessory. With endless combinations of frame designs, materials, lenses and coatings, glasses can become an extension of ourselves. To highlight these changes, here's a blog outlining the history of eyewear and how it has changed.

These early glasses had lenses that aren't as refined as the ones we use today. They had a tendency to bend light which led to a blurry rainbow-like image appearing on the outer edge of the lens. This problem was eventually solved in 1730 by combining two pieces of glasses together in one lens. This was known as an achromatic lens.
