find a storeIn February, OneSight volunteers headed to South Africa for a Global Clinic to give the gift of sight to locals in need. Thousands of lives were transformed with new eyewear, including those of 3866 patients in Mtubatuba, 1282 patients in Khula Village, and 1090 patients in Hlabisa. With so many stories to tell, from so many perspectives, I wanted to hone in on a few quick, personal experiences from some of the amazing OneSight volunteers in South Africa.

Is 3D Viewing Safe for Your Eyes?
Technology is changing the way we see the world—and Hollywood is changing the way we see movies. Namely with a visual piece of tech that makes us feel like we are live in the vantage point of the movie ourselves: 3D. From live action to animated films, there is an increasing trend toward movies in 3D—even classic blockbusters from past years are even being re-released in theaters in the new form. With all the cinema popping out at your eyes as you watch behind your issued glasses, you may be wondering: is 3D safe for your eyes? CONTINUE READING
Try-On Tool Dress Up
As a child, like most young girls, I enjoyed playing dress up—perhaps for me it was a little bit of foreshadowing to my future fashion design studies all the way up to my present post as Director of Frame Buying at Pearle Vision. As a working adult, does the child-like dress-up desire still flow through my veins? I’ll answer that with another generality: like most grown-up women (whether secretly or on display), I still enjoy playing dress up.

Yes indeed, they bring May Flowers! While the pattern isn’t the most groundbreaking concept, it’s certainly rooting its fashionable flare on many of Pearle Vision’s frames this season. So we’ve come full circle from April to May, and once again, I’m letting my surroundings influence my spec style choices—and right now I’m putting the petal to the metal with flower print and blossom embellished frames.

Contacts & H20: Yes or No?
When one thinks of summertime, often the mind is flooded with images of combating the sweltering temperatures through various water-subversive means. Daily dips in swimming pools, running through the sprinklers, boating on the lake—it seems like our time during the season (just around the corner!) is spent largely in close contact with water. So what about contacts in the water? You may be wondering how contact lenses fare in these aquatic situations. For contact wearers, is H20 a yes or a no? Before you cannonball into your water-centric activities this summer, consider these tips to ensure the best experience possible. CONTINUE READING
