for durability and clarity.
Also, you’ll want to
make sure they feel as
good as they look.
Harsh sun and eye
strain outdoors
Summer is around
the corner. And if you
like to sit outside, your
standard prescription
glasses likely won’t protect
you. The sun can
shine light directly on
you when you’re trying
to read. And if it’s
hot and bright enough,
it can be risky if you’re
reading for prolonged
periods outside.
Fortunately, Foster
Grant Fits Over sunglasses
can protect
eyeglass wearers from
the sun’s UV light and
provide polarized protection
from sun exposure,
allowing you
to kick back and relax
outside while you enjoy
your favorite book with
ease. Learn more at

“Our vision correlates
so much with our quality
of life,” says Matthew
Coon, Senior Vice President,
Product Design and
Development at FGX International.

have eyewear that provides
comfort and clarity
no matter what you’re doing,
the possibilities are
endless.”

A lot of people take
their eyesight
for granted, but
eyesight allows
you to connect to your
surroundings, keeps
you safe and helps you
maintain mental clarity.
According to the
Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention
(CDC), approximately
12 million Americans
have vision problems.
If you don’t take the
proper precautions to
take care of your eyes,
you could end up hurting
them unintentionally.
Fortunately, eyewear
products in recent
years have allowed for
innovative solutions in
the ways we take care
of our eyes. Here are
some of the innovative
eyewear solutions that
solve the most common
problems:
Switching glasses
frequently
Some people need
different glasses for
reading, computer use,
talking with others and
more. If it’s bothersome
to take your glasses on
and off from one task to
the next, Multi Focus
glasses can help!
The magnification is
strongest on the bottom
of the lens, and smoothly
decreases to about
half that magnification
at the top of the lens.
Whether you’re reading
a book, working on the
computer or just spending
time with a friend,
Multi Focus helps you
see clearly.
Excessive screen time
and blue light
People are constantly
connected to their
phones, computers and
tablets these days, especially
those who are
working from home or
distance learning. And
even when they’re off
the clock, people are
still looking at screens,
streaming media or
video chatting with a
friend.
Fortunately, blue
light glasses can help
reduce your exposure
to blue light throughout
the day. Many blue light
glasses brands come
with patented lens technology.
Active lifestyle and
frequently broken
glasses
If you’re an avid
hunter, fisher or runner,
you need eyewear
that can protect you
from all of the elements
the human body and
Mother Nature throw
your way. Whether it’s
your sweat, the blinding
glare of the sun or the
unpredictability of the
weather, maintaining
good vision is important
for both your health and
your survival.
With state-of-the-art
performance eyewear
from Gargoyles, you
can have an undistorted
view of almost anything
that stands in your line
of vision. If you’re looking
to get active eyewear,
make sure the
brand you buy meets or
exceeds ANSI standards
