Stigmas For Astigmatism? Eyeglass Fashion Catches Up!

You’ve just stepped into a new world in eyewear! This new world centers on your personal style instead of strict utility. It’s like a sleek new hybrid over the Pinto of the 70’s. Like a 50 inch flat screen on your wall versus the bulky old floor models. Stylish pumps to bunny slippers. Personal style now dictates your choice of eyewear.

We’ve all seen pictures of the 1980’s and years before with those giant and bulky eyeglasses they used to wear. I still cringe when I see them. The optics in those glasses may have worked, but they tended to be thick and bulky, not to mention heavy and uncomfortable to wear. Last but not least, they were ugly!

And granted, those big bulky glasses may not have been frowned upon in terms of fashion back in the day.

But this is only because we didn’t know any better – and we weren’t offered any alternatives.

Of course, times have changed. We are flush with options for almost everything in the present day. The world of eyeglasses is replete with styles, colors, fits, shapes, models, materials, and designers that would make our grandparents proud! You are no longer stuck with the status quo. Your options have multiplied.

This change has occurred in part because optical technology has changed as well. Scientists have discovered material that is denser but lighter to manufacture prescription lenses. This denser material means thinner lenses with greater optical precision. Thinner lenses means there are more exciting options in ways the lenses can be shaped, which of course translates to more options in eyeglass fashion.

We may have become accustomed to these options in the last twenty years or so, but it’s important not to forget where we’ve come from. It’s easy to take our freedom of choice for granted sometimes. If you remember where we’ve come from, you may better appreciate the plethora of style choices you have in your eyeglasses and rejoice!
