We wanted to sell as broard a range as possible without making choices complicated for our customers whilst shopping on the Glasses4Less website. Once again we turned to Hilco Europe for our optical solutions. The Plastic Temple Tips are available in three of the most popular core sizes, 1.6mm, 1.4mm & 1.1mm for ultra thin sides, often found on titanium rimless frames.

Keeping things simple we have also opted for the most popular colours, Black, Brown, Clear & Tortoise. We believe we now have the makings of a comprehensive collection of frame parts available for the consumer to buy on-line and don’t forget to visit our Downloadable Forms & Documents section for simple instructions on carrying out simple spectacle repairs using your newly purchased spare parts.

The revolutionary new format in the Optrex range, Optrex ActiMist™ Eye Spray is applied to CLOSED EYELIDS to repair and restore dry, irritated eyes. The easy to use spray provides clinically proven relief and is even suitable to be applied to closed eyelids to repair the tear film and restore dry, irritated eyes.

We’re all susceptible to dry, irritated feeling eyes. One of the main causes is our modern lifestyles – staring at a computer screen, driving long distances, air conditioning and central heating are all culprits. Contact lens wearers and older people (particularly women) are also prone.”

These are the advertising claims made by Optrex Eyecare so we thought we would check out this new product over the coming weeks and post some reviews. I’m not so sure that the spray idea is new and revolutionary, except to Optrex of course, as we first saw this concept used with a product called Clarymist if I’m not mistaken. We weren’t that keen on Clarymist, my wife found it slightly irritating and felt it did very little for her dry eye condition.

Optrex has a good track record and is pretty much a household name, right up there with TCP and Germolene. There can’t be many people out there who haven’t used the little blue eye bath full of Optrex Eye Wash at some time in there life! Optrex ActiMist is not cheap , priced at £14.33 for a 15ml bottle, however thinking back I loved the way my eyes felt after using Optrex Eye Wash and the only thing that stopped me making it part of my regular routine was the ‘faffing’ around with the eye bath, solution running down your cheek and trying to open my eye in the solution. For some complaints only an Optrex Eye Wash will do, but if I can get that refreshing feeling in a simple, no fuss spray that would be great. 

We will try out some samples and report back. Watch this space!

Our sight is precious, without good vision we can’t live comfortably and happily, without the benefit of glare protection life can be tiring and stressful. Transitions VI lenses provide healthy sight in every light. 

Did you know?

That in the last 10 years, the earth has lost 12% of its ozone layer! This means that our skin and eyes are at a greater threat of damage from UVA and UVB rays than ever before.

For every percent of ozone lost, scientists register a corresponding increase in cancer of 4% and cataracts of 0.8%. (source: World Health Organisation)

People just aren’t aware of the harmful effects that UV can have on their eyes. While prolonged or excessive sun bathing is associated with skin cancer it is not often linked to ocular lesions which is why the public need to be made aware of these facts. It’s not just associated with hot sunny days and foreign holidays in warmer climates, even in the UK people can be exposed to UV rays, even on cloudy days! 

The very latest Transitions VI lenses react quickly to the changing light conditions and protect eyes from the damaging effects of Ultra Violet rays, just like sunblock protects your skin.  Transitions lenses help preserve eye health as they block 100% of harmful UV rays
