Why Luxottica is a Top Company in the Sunglasses Market?

  At a sunglass counter or any department store and people are willing to pay hundreds of dollars for the perfect pair of designer shades. Luxottica , a ‘little-known but very big Italian company’ appears to have gained total domination over the world’s eyewear production by making 65 million sunglasses last year; making prescription frames and sunglasses for nearly every designer brand, from Prada and Chanel to Ralph Lauren , Versace and Tiffany ’s, Bulgaria Coach, Ray-Ban and more but they don’t own these brands. Other than these brands around 80% of the sunglasses market has nothing to do with Luxottica, from cheap import knockoffs to designer lines like Gucci , or high-end sunglass specialists like Costa and Maui Jim, Luxottica is not involved with them. Luxottica started as a small tool shop in the Italian Alps has turned into a company that made 65million pairs of frames last year, bringing in $ 8 billion. Luxottica’s global wholesale distribution network includes more than

How to Fix Scratches on Plastic Sunglasses Frames and Lenses?

  Although most standard-order prescription glasses and sunglasses come up with a protective coating, making your glasses somewhat resistant to the wear and tear that is inevitable with daily usage, it is still not impossible to get scratches on your  plastic sunglass  lenses, because these can also bypass the coating in many cases. Note that not all scratches can be completely removed. If you find your glass with too many deep-seated scratches on the lens, it would take anything between four and six hours of toil to try and alleviate them to an extent. That said, there are a couple of home remedies you can attempt if you don’t want to turn them into the glass store just yet. The classic solution is to use a microfiber cloth that usually comes as a complimentary add-on when you purchase glasses to gently apply a non-abrasive, i.e. sensitive toothpaste to the glass. Note that you will first need to clean your glasses with cold water first. Alternately, you can also try to buff the area

Difference Between Shades, Sunglasses, Goggles, Glares and Aviators

  Shades:  I think most of us know what shades are but do we know the meaning and use of them? many people say that shades are used for pointing to different colors of lenses. But sadly, this is not exactly what shades are for. Shades are used for protecting our eyes from sun rays and dust particles. They are not fancy ones and are just used as a shield. Sunglasses:  I think whenever we visit a market or mall during summer the salesmen always recommend us to use sunglasses for the protection of our eyes from the sun. So basically, sunglasses are frames with Polaroid coating. Goggles:  from my perspective goggles are the same as sunglasses but now they are coming in different styles and with various technology. Glares:   these are also the same as sunglasses used for cutting sunrays. Aviators:  These were first created by the famous company Ray-Ban. Usually, this eyewear is created to cover most of the parts of the eyes. Where the classic glasses were square, these came in rimmed frame

Why Eyeglass Lenses Are So Expensive Compared to Complete Eyeglasses?

  It is a known fact that spare parts of products are always sold at a higher price than that of the original finished good. One of the major reasons for this is companies have to maintain inventories for spare parts which generally cost them a bulk because of the handling and maintenance charges. Separate  lenses  are more expensive because they are low-volume items requiring different and more handling leading to an increase in the ultimate and final price. Sometimes the consumers end up paying 10 to 20 times more than the actual cost of the lenses and frames. In fact, the lenses are usually the most expensive part of the eyeglasses. Making a good sunglasses lens is a skill. It takes a person with a great eye, accuracy, and hard work to get it right, and hence the price as a lot of labor goes into it. One of the major factors is that the price of the lens is based on technology. The better the technology used in the process of manufacture, the higher the price. The more features you

  Choosing the correct glasses according to your face shape is important as it determines the looks of your face. Though a fashionable pair when worn with the wrong face type can destroy the looks. You need to know your face shape before buying glasses. Here are some of the lists of  glasses  which will look good on that particular face shape. Round face:  Frames that are narrower like cat-eye will be best suited for your face as they will define your contour.
