We just received a divine German eyewear collection…
It kinda feels like a gift from heaven…or maybe just a fab present for the holidays;-)
Blutgeschwister is an awesome German apparel line with kitschy styles and patterns. They asked a local German optician (and DJ!) to design and line of eyewear with the same philosophy…and voila! Inspired by the 70′s and 80′s, Wonderglasses mixes top-quality metals and acetate with fresh colors and designs. This line is brand-spanking new and only has one other account in the whole entire U.S.!
Here is a little taste to get you in the mood…
Wonderglasses Soron & Florida Scrub Jay
Wonderglasses Rollergirl & Lass Mich Kussen
Wonderglasses Expedition Everest & Private Eye

Our Customer of the Week is Roger!
We are so sad to see Roger go. He is moving to Spain in one month and Eye Spy is going to miss him!!! He is a load of fun and an eyeglass fanatic. He just purchased this Theo Ockers frame in blue with black pinstripes. He just had to get one more pair before he left and these glasses were calling to him.
Roger we are gonna miss being entertained by you! You are the best.

He set his sights on these awesome Theo Moser frames and didn’t look back. His eyes are perfectly centered in these glasses for a great fit. The Tokyo tortoise, accented by a pop of tangerine, beautifully contrasts his dark hair…and his *big* grin tells it all!!!

Our Customer of the Week is Chris!!!
Chris was not too happy that he needed to start wearing glasses. To the surprise of his parents…his eyes lit up when he tried these blue Lafont frames. The frame model is Rock and its easy to see why. They really do rock!
Chris is so handsome wearing the iridescent blue frame, which is such a contrast against his dark hair and big brown eyes. We love that these frames fit him like a glove since fit is so important with children. Kids are rough on their frames so they can’t be slipping and sliding around.
Congrats Chris, you are our Customer of the Week!
Stay tuned for a posting about the Lafont trunk show on Saturday, November 26th. Phillipe and Laurence Lafont started their company in Paris in 1972 with the goal of creating a line that was timeless. They have a great eye for balancing shape and color and are known for their exquisite patterns.

As promised, Dr. Brad Newton is
sharing his eye health wisdom
every week. This week we asked doc…
Are carrots good for your eyes??? Carrots do have Vitamin A, which is necessary for retinal function but they are also right up there with potatoes as one of the starchiest veggies. They can cause a spike in your blood sugar that is not good for your eyes or any other organ in your body. Spinach or other dark green leafy vegetables contain the vitamins your eyes need including lutein, which is very important for retinal health. So when the dust settles, Popeye wins! Thats all Folks!!!
Do you have any eye health questions? Post any questions and Brad will do his best to answer them. Don’t forget to eat your greens!!! Yum
