Creators of ComputerEyed Bifocals - the Interview
Rhonda and I had a short conversation with Dave and Joan Grossman, the creators of ComputerEyed bifocal readers and the Go Green recycled readers. They make really great products and we have been their supporters going on for a couple of years now. They, like us, are mom-and-pop business owners who prefer to deal with small companies and individuals.
Read the interview.

The History of Eyeglasses
Curator, David A. Fleishman M.D., has a great website devoted to the history of eyeglasses. Have you ever wondered what eyeglasses used to look like way, way back in the day? Like pre 1286 AD?
There are lots of slide shows and image collections of eyeglass frames made out of rare materials like baleen, for example. This is a fun and interactive site for the spectacle-curious among you. -Link

A New Report from The Vision Council
Suffering from computer vision syndrome?
A new report from The Vision Council explains why.
The report, "Screens, Phones, Tablets and More: Keeping Your Eyes Safe in a Digital Age.”(pdf) determines that "70% of the U.S. population experiences some form of digital eyestrain, and only half of them are doing anything about it."
In addition to listing the symptoms, the report also lists solutions. “Eye-gonomics 101” illustrates the proper way to position yourself in front of a desktop computer as well as how to optimize viewing a hand-held device." The report concludes, “Take breaks, move away from the screen, and limit the amount of competing light. Increase your comfort with eyewear specifically designed for computer use. Special lenses help to lessen eye strain, allowing eyes—and you—to focus on the task at hand" -link
(Coming soon! Rhonda and I will be posting an interview we have with the founders of ComputerEyed, the creators of ComputerEyed Bifocals! -Stay tuned!)

Phil Collins with BrandX
Did you know that Phil Collins used to play with a great band called BrandX?
Yes, he recorded some great and iconic ballads. The BrandX stuff is my favorite though,
because it showcased what I believe he really did well; -drums.

And they have lots more! And, no, I cannot make lenses for any of these! Sorry.
(Rhonda and I love Neatorama and their store, Neatoshop and we think that it would be really neato if they had a affiliate program. Alas. Not yet.)

Eyeglasses | Vintage Video
This is a great vintage video from "Loveliness Laboratories" on how to choose (then) fashionable eyeglass frame styles and how eyeglass lenses used to be made.
The style half of this video is hilariously dated. The half dealing with eyeglass lens manufacturing is fascinating. Lenses used to be made primarily of crown glass, as shown. What is amazing is the shear amount of equipment, time, energy, and technicians it took to produce them. It looks like it was probably pretty close to smelting steel or creating new orcs, or something...

Some of the best images from the Hubble Telescope. After the lens was "repaired" during a shuttle mission, the images since, have been astounding, and have become iconic in our modern view of space.
