Eye Care and Eye Wear in New York

Eyeglasses for the 2010 season are likely to be more retro then new and trendy. While new styles will be available everywhere, you can count on seeing some of the retro styles coming back in full force. Both prescription and sunglasses will have that look from the 1920’s through the 1970’s, depending on which brand you decide to invest in. The good news is that you will have plenty of options that will keep you stylish this year.

Here are some features to look for in the best that the 2010 eyeglass year will have to offer to you.

• Colors will include bright and stylish red colors. Green will also be a big player in this year’s eyeglass lines. You will even see some metallic in place as you shop for the latest looks. Do not be afraid of color. Black is not the best option this year.
• Do look for wrap around lenses. This is a big trend this year and it is one that you can count on staying for some time. Designers and off shoots are creating new sunglasses that do put a lot of focus on this wrap around look. However, they are not all about style. Most are still highly stylish and comfort all the same.
• The professional look is in. Think of that librarian look. That is the type of look the eyeglasses will take on this year. In particular, you will find a wide range of these “bookish” styles becoming the modern trend. Not only do they give that sexy allure to them, but these sunglasses also provide a higher sense of professionalism. In a time where showing that you are the best for the job is the focal point, it is now more important than ever to choose a professional looking pair of glasses.
• UV protection is in. One thing that is still very important to today’s eyeglass wearer is their eye’s health. In short, you need a pair of sunglasses that are highly protective of your eyes against ultraviolet light. However, more designer brands, as well as off brands, are now incorporating UV protection in the lenses they offer.
• Trends in men’s eyewear for 2010 will include the 1950’s movie look. This includes those large frames that surround darker lenses. Even black and brown sunglasses will be a popular option. Focus on those sunglasses and eyeglasses that have you looking professional and sexy at the same time.

When it comes down to it, the retro look will play a role in eyewear going forward. This includes eyewear from new designers, but with a focus on looks from the 50’s and even before. You will find that many of the new styles incorporate protective elements for your eyes. This includes both eyewear options such as prescription glasses as well as sunglasses for both men and women. Choose looks that you love since loving your look is going to be an important role player when it comes to style trends for the 2010 season.
