BRAND OF THE MONTH
De Rigo Rem presents the Police Eyewear collection.

Since 1983, the brand has evoked vintage detailing, bold personality and a range of modern and fashion-forward styling. “Dating back to the ’80s when it became iconic for its signature blue lenses, Police has quickly grown into a successful global lifestyle brand with over 30 years of heritage—embodying an urban spirit with a bold and unconventional personality. “Transcending style, the collection blends modern silhouettes, cutting-edge techniques and unique material blends with vintage detailing to create one-of-a-kind designs that stay true to the brand.” The collection consists of modern silhouettes and iconic brand elements such as Police’s signature wingtip detail that takes on different forms throughout various styles. For the past four years, Brazilian soccer player and Olympic medalist Neymar Jr. has been the brand’s global ambassador and also provides inspiration behind the collection.

Come in and view our selection!
As the summer draws to a close and we prepare to embrace the back-to-school season, it’s essential to consider the well-being of our students. Amidst the excitement of shopping for school supplies and new outfits, we must not overlook the importance of ensuring their vision health. With approximately 80% of learning in school being visual, it is crucial to prioritize comprehensive eye examinations.

It can be a challenge to choose the right makeup to flatter your facial features.
For glasses-wearers, it can be even trickier. How can you adapt your makeup strategy to complement your glasses too, especially if your prescription is strong enough that your eyes appear either unusually large or unusually small?
 
Staying active is great for our overall health, but it’s also good for our eye health. Eating well, sleeping enough, and getting exercise makes it easier to stay in shape, feel healthy, and grow stronger, and it also reduces the risk of developing chronic diseases, including high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, and various heart conditions. But what does that have to do with our eyes?
Cataracts have been the leading cause of blindness all throughout history. In all that time, treatment for cataracts has unsurprisingly come a long way. Over 20 million American adults over the age of 40 will develop cataracts, and half will have them by age 80 — and that’s just Americans!
