Do You Really Need Distance Vision? (Ghost Tower Edit)
In BackTo20/20 we talk a lot about process. Measurements, lens use, and all the steps and details that yield the most potential for progressing towards better distance vision. I figure it makes sense to have it that way. 20 minute sessions, you know exactly what to expect. Follow the process, no fluff, and a consistent platform to help you troubleshoot challenges and field questions. It's the most efficient system I could come up with. And yet ... I struggle with [...]
James: -4.00 A Year Ahead Of Schedule (plus: crashing Ferraris on Hollywood Boulevard)
As you read this, bear in mind: Off-topic Sunday. A mash-up of off-topic and on-topic today. James posts an update in the forum: Update time! It took two weeks but I got my glasses re-lenses to -4.75. In the intermediate period I used an old pair of -5.25s. Oh how my eyes got tired and started hurting… Good way to reduce close-up time though, when you can’t stand looking at anything! Now, a “problem”. When I got my -4.75 [...]
Contacts For Peripheral Vision? (Q&A #6)
Quick Q&A today. We'll take a look at whether it makes sense to start wearing contact lenses just for peripheral vision. And, if you should concern yourself with single eye exercises. These are from the support forum, feel free to add your own observations. And if you're not sure whether to ask? Then definitely don't. We can't have silly questions. That or do ask. Always. You can't even imagine how many months I went chasing answers for the most seemingly [...]
To Buy Or Not To Buy: The Best (and worst) Fashion Frames
Before you ask, yes. That is the original quote and no, I have no comment on the man's frame choice. Best and worst frames you can buy. Or in this case, best and worst fashion frames you can buy. I have them both (best and worst), because I have about a zillion frames and I keep buying more. For clients, for demo things, for my own amusement, plenty to go around. Trouble with where fashion is headed, is the trend towards [...]
(Video) Q&A: Why There Is No Sign-Up Link
Here's what I'm thinking. I'm working on making some glasses related short stories for you. "A Brief History of Glasses", right now looking at me accusingly from it's folder on my desktop. It's saying, why Jake. Why aren't you right now editing my bits. Why aren't you shooting more footage. Why, Jake! Instead of letting the lacking skills and slow progress drive me crazy, I'll be working on that, and also considering much simpler short Q&A chats. Little chats, you and me, [...]
Meet Me In Fancytown: Roseman Boutique Frame Maker
If you know me, you know how much I'm fond of people making things. Not giant corporations somewhere, and their fashion label empires. Whenever possible, I'd rather put my money in the pocket of the person actually involved in a creative process. In particular when it comes to glasses, real designers are hard to find. Recently I went on a little designer discovery mission. For a couple of new projects I had a perfect excuse to go try to find [...]
