Celebrating Independent Eyewear

Lash eyewear

In a world dominated by mass-produced fashion trends, there’s something truly special about independent eyewear. At ROCKLAND EYE, we carry independent eyewear brands exclusively. The frames are crafted by skilled artisans and innovative designers. They represent more than just functional accessories for vision correction. The designs embody a spirit of creativity, craftsmanship, and individuality. In this blog post, we’ll delve into the world of independent eyewear, exploring its allure, the benefits it offers, and the reasons why it’s gaining popularity among fashion-forward individuals seeking a unique vision of style.

A Personal Statement

Independent eyewear goes beyond the conventional norms of fashion allowing individuals to express their personal style and make a bold statement. Unlike mainstream brands that cater to the masses, independent brands such as LUNETTERIE GÉNÉRALE focus on creating distinctive frames that showcase artistic vision. These frames become an extension of one’s personality by adding flair and character to any outfit.

Quality Craftsmanship

One of the defining characteristics of independent eyewear is the unparalleled craftsmanship that goes into each frame. Independent designers often work hand-in-hand with skilled artisans combining traditional techniques with innovative materials to create eyewear that stands the test of time. Every frame is meticulously crafted, ensuring durability, comfort and a superior fit. When you choose an independent brand such as Lunor, you’re investing in a product that reflects the passion and dedication of the artisans behind it.

Unique Designs

If you’re tired of seeing the same eyewear designs replicated on every street corner, independent brands offer a breath of fresh air. Independent designers have the freedom to explore unconventional shapes, materials, and color combinations resulting in frames that are truly unique. Look to independent brands whether you prefer vintage-inspired classics, minimalist modern designs or avant-garde styles. Independent brands offer a diverse range of options that cater to every taste.

Support for Local Businesses

Choosing independent brands means supporting local businesses and independent designers. By purchasing frames from these artisans, you contribute to the growth of small-scale enterprises and help sustain a thriving creative community. These designers often collaborate with local craftsmen and use ethically sourced materials resulting in a positive impact on both the environment and the economy.

Customization and Individual Fit

One of the most significant advantages of independent eyewear brands is the opportunity for customization and individualized fit. Independent brands such as LINDBERG often offer made-to-order or bespoke options, allowing customers to choose specific materials or colours. This personalized approach ensures that your eyewear not only looks fantastic but also provides optimal comfort and functionality.

Sustainability and Ethical Practices

In recent years, there has been a growing concern about the environmental impact of the fashion industry. Independent brands often operate on a smaller scale and are often well-positioned to embrace sustainable practices. Many independent designers prioritize eco-friendly materials and employ ethical manufacturing processes. Choosing independent brands means making a conscious choice towards a more sustainable fashion future.

Independent eyewear represents a departure from cookie-cutter fashion. Independent designs offer a realm of artistic expression and individuality. Impeccable craftsmanship and unique designs are the hallmark of these brands. Independent eyewear stands as a testament to the power of creativity. So, if you’re seeking eyewear that not only enhances your vision but also reflects your distinct personality, look no further than the world of independent eyewear – a captivating blend of art, fashion, and innovation.

The Art of Japanese Craftsmanship

EYEVAN MONTRÉAL

Japan has a rich history in traditional craftsmanship and manufacturing processes. Many people don’t realize that Eyewear manufacturing in Japan is performed by skilled craftsman with many steps done entirely by hand.

Only the finest materials are used including titanium, beta-titanium, acetate and 18K gold. Handmade in Japan is synonymous with high-quality and luxury.

Eyevan was born in 1972 with a rather particular concept. Its vision is to offer “glasses to be dressed as a fashion item”. In 1985, the brand made a sensational entry into the world of eyewear. Eyevan frames are now known for their timeless design and when we look at the handwritten drawings or archives of the brand, we can see the authentic craftsmanship of Japan. It is a true ode to creativity and enthusiasm.

Finally, in 2013, more than 40 years after the brand’s launch, a new team of designers rebuilt the Eyevan 7285 eyewear brand based on the brand’s ancient archives, redefining the standards of beauty. They drew upon the original hand drawn designs and product research from the 1972-1985 era therefore naming the new collection EYEVAN 7285.


BROOKLYN SPECTACLES X JINROKU SAKU

BROOKLYN SPECTACLES teamed up with famous Eyewear designer Jinroku Saku to create a limited -edition capsule collection made from premium acetate and pure titanium. Jinroku Saku has to years of craftsman experience in the eyewear industry. He is considered one of the best Eyewear craftsman in Sabae, Japan.

BARTON PERREIRA BARTON PERREIRA MONTREAL

What makes Barton Perreira eyeglasses exceptional is their manufacturing process. Extreme care is taken in their design and manufacture. The latter is derived from the great Japanese tradition. It is thanks to this that the brand has a variation of catching colors that remains almost unmatched today.

The cellulose acetate plates (plastic from cotton flowers) benefit from a very long drying time. This method, inherited from Japanese craftsmanship, allows us to obtain a superior quality result.

All this care taken in the manufacture offers a perfect result. The ultra-light and finely chiseled titanium frames are reminiscent of the pop art of the 1950s and 60s.

How to wear sunglasses in winter like a fashion icon

Although sunglasses are often identified with summer, they are actually recommended all year round. UV rays are present every time the sun comes out, not just in July and August. In addition, the sun’s rays reflected off ice or snow are much more harmful than those on sand or grass. The risks for your eyes are therefore high! So, sunglasses are essential to protect yourself. But how to wear them in winter with style? Here are our fashion tips.

Why wear sunglasses in winter?

Wearing sunglasses in the winter can be a great way to improve eye health and overall well-being. During the coldest months of the year, the sun can cause many problems for vision and eye comfort. Ultraviolet (UV) rays can penetrate through clouds and reflect light, providing more exposure to the eyes of people who spend time outdoors. In addition, if you do not wear appropriate items such as a cap or hat and your face is always turned towards the sun, then you may suffer sunburns to your eyes and other serious injuries caused by excessive sun exposure.

Sunglasses are therefore essential to protect your eyes from the sun’s harmful UV rays during the winter. Another option is to buy sunglasses with polarized lenses. Polarized lenses are especially useful because they prevent light reflected from snow or ice from hitting your eyes directly, allowing you to enjoy winter activities without the risk of damaging your vision.

The different types of winter sunglasses

There are different types of winter sunglasses that can offer protection from the sun and weather. One of the most popular and widespread is the wrap-around frame, which wraps around the cheeks and forehead to provide full protection. These glasses are usually made from lightweight but durable materials such as polycarbonate or acetate.

The tinted lenses feature anti-glare and UV properties as well as a variety of colors ranging from dark gray to yellow or even pink for those who want a flashier look.

Aviator glasses are also very popular among winter outdoor enthusiasts, as they offer full UV protection with their large wrap-around rims. They are usually made from polyurethane, a highly impact and wear resistant material, offering optimal UV protection.

Other popular silhouettes include round glasses, which have a circular shape that works well with most faces; half-moon glasses that specifically protect the nose and eyes; and flat glasses, which have a wide rectangular shape to protect the entire width of the eye. Whatever your face type or personal style, there’s sure to be a frame to suit your needs.

How do you choose the right sunglasses for winter?

Choosing the right sunglasses for winter can be a challenge, but by following some sound advice, you can find the pair that’s right for you.

First of all, it is important to understand that winter sunglasses are specially designed to block more light and offer advanced optical protection. Therefore, choosing glasses with polarized or special technology lenses can help reduce eye strain and improve your experience in challenging conditions.

In addition, properly fitted frames are essential to your comfort and safety when wearing sunglasses in winter. Frames with an extra layer often serve to provide better thermal protection against cold and wind. Also, it’s best to opt for something that will fit snugly on your face so that the glasses don’t slip or move around when you’re playing sports or doing any other outdoor activity.

Finally, it’s always a good idea to try different styles and colors before choosing your winter sunglasses. While neutral colors such as black or brown are generally suitable for all situations, some people also prefer to opt for bolder colors that can add an extra personal touch and a great accent to any winter look. Additionally, if you’re considering high-performance activities like skiing or snowboarding, then it’s important to invest in a sturdy pair with a protective, solid frame that will withstand the extreme conditions you’ll face on the mountain.

Kids’ Glasses: What You Need to Know Before Buying

Most parents want their children to have the best of everything, and that includes good vision. Kids’ glasses can be a great way to improve their vision and overall health, but it’s important to make sure they’re fitted with the right pair to ensure they’re comfortable and look good too! In this blog post, we’ll discuss some things you need to consider before buying your child a new pair of glasses.

Factors to consider before buying kids’ glasses

Some factors you may want to consider before buying kids’ glasses include the child’s age, prescription, and style preferences. It is also important to make sure that the glasses are comfortable and fit well, as kids can be rough on their eyewear. You may want to choose a durable frame material that can withstand everyday wear and tear. Kids may also want to choose frames that reflect their personalities and style. Finally, it is important to check if the lenses are impact-resistant and certified by safety standards, especially for younger children. Working with experienced opticians, like our team at ROCKLAND EYE CLINIC, can help you make sure you get a safe pair of glasses that will fit your child’s needs. With a little bit of research and help, you can find the perfect pair of kids’ glasses for your child.

What are the best kids’ glasses brands

There are countless brands of kids’ eyeglasses. We recommend, first and foremost, taking into account criteria such as quality and safety. That is why we suggest brands such as Etnia Barcelona and Nike, both for girls and boys.

Nike Kids Eyeglasses

Nike Kids’ eyeglasses didn’t cut any corners-they meet the same high standards as all of Nike’s other products.

Nike’s children’s glasses feature neon colors to subtly dim too-bright colors that could be overwhelming. So, now your kids can remain active without being distracted. The acetate frames by Nike eyewear with ventilation are perfect for youngsters. The materials make the frames flexible, so they can bend but not break! They will also be a good choice when you want something hypoallergenic.

Best Kid's Glasses

Etnia Barcelona Kids

Etnia Barcelona kids’ eyewear is a high-fashion collection inspired by European style and sophistication. The Etnia Barcelona kid’s eyeglasses offer a wide range of unique patterns, styles, and colors. They are also crafted from high-quality materials for durability and long-lasting wear.

What are the best lenses for kids’ glasses?

Zeiss lenses are the best lenses for kids’ glasses because they offer superior quality and durability. Kids tend to be hard on their glasses, and Zeiss lenses are designed to stand up to even the most strenuous use. In addition, Zeiss provides unparalleled clarity and sharpness, ensuring that your child can see even when performing critical tasks like reading or doing homework.

At ROCKLAND EYE CLINIC we also provide Zeiss lenses for Myopia Management.

In case you are looking for contact lenses for your kid and Myopia Management is an important factor, we also offer the latest technology available: ACUVUE Abiliti, de Johnson&Johnson. It has received approval from Heath Canada. Children who wear these contact lenses have been shown to reduce the rate at which their myopia progresses by, on average, 0.105mm over 6 months.

  • Keep them clean. A little bit of regular cleaning will go a long way in keeping your eyeglasses looking good. Use a soft cloth to wipe them down regularly, and make sure to clean the lenses thoroughly.
  • Store them properly. When you’re not wearing your eyeglasses, it’s important to store them properly. Keep them in a case or in a safe place where they won’t get damaged.
  • Protect them from the sun. The sun can be damaging to your eyeglasses, so it’s important to protect them from the sun’s rays. You can do this by using a pair of sunglasses when you’re outdoors.

  • Get them serviced occasionally. It’s a good idea to have your eyeglasses serviced occasionally, especially if you wear them often. This will help keep them in good condition and ensure that they’re providing you with the best possible vision.

There are a few factors to consider when choosing the best lenses for designer eyeglasses. The first is your eye exam and prescription. If you need glasses to correct your vision, you’ll need to choose lenses that have the correct prescription.

Another factor to consider is the type of material the lenses are made of. Glass lenses are a classic option, but they can be heavy and can shatter if they’re damaged. Plastic lenses are lighter and less likely to shatter, but they can also scratch more easily. Polycarbonate lenses are a good option for people who wear their glasses a lot, as they’re scratch-resistant and shatter-proof.

Designer eyeglasses brands

Designer eyeglasses brands are a popular choice for those looking for a fashionable and high-quality option. Some of the most popular brands include Barton Perreira, Lindberg, and Etnia Barcelona. These brands offer a wide variety of styles and colors to choose from, and their lenses are made with high-quality materials that provide superior optical quality.

These eyeglasses can be a bit more expensive than other options, but they often come with a warranty or return policy, which can make them a more cost-effective choice in the long run. Additionally, many designer eyeglasses brands offer discounts to members of their loyalty programs.

Etnia Barcelona: eyewear with art, irreverence and technology

Barcelona is a unique city. It makes a perfect cross between tradition with centuries of history and the irreverence of modern artistic movements. It has given the world artists and designers that we easily recognize. Etnia Barcelona is faithful to all this heritage and reflects it in its unique eyewear, which leaves no one indifferent. In this article we review those distinguishing elements of Etnia Barcelona.

Check the 

Etnia Barcelona Frames Now!

The know-how of tradition

Although the brand was born as such in 2001 by the hand of David Pellicer, its history is more than 100 years old. Its journey began in a small workshop with Fulgencio Ramo, David Pellicer’s grandfather, and has continued through different generations. That is why tradition is one of the brand’s pillars.

Color, color and… more color

Another pillar of the brand is color. For a long time, the predominant colors were black and brown. The launch of the Ibiza model was a turning point. Since then, Etnia Barcelona has designed glasses with all colors, creating exclusive prints and original combinations of each model, taking into account the trends of the moment, but always with irreverence and exclusivity.

Art and culture

Another differentiating aspect of Etnia Barcelona’s frames is their relationship with culture, art and the movements that are formed around it. That is why it is linked to artists, designers, painters and musicians.

That is why this brand isn’t often for everyone. Etnia Barcelona designs eyewear that goes beyond fashion and trends. Its eyeglasses and sunglasses are sophisticated and glamorous, designed for dynamic, risk-taking persons with strong character.

#BeAnartist… What is it?

One of the artistic movements that has made the most use of the brand is the #BeAnartist, with deep human and ecological roots.

It is a global campaign that associates the brand with art, beyond the distinctive values of Etnia Barcelona: color, quality and design. It tries to define an identity: rebellious, bold, free, an anarchist artist, Anartist.

The glasses express the personality. That’s why this collection tries to connect with people who, in their daily lives, have the same non-conformist and rebellious character.

Some collections of Etnia Barcelona related to art

Ignasi Monreal Collection, OJO

This is an exclusive, limited edition capsule collection of jade-inspired sunglasses designed in three new colors: lavender, green and tan.

David Bowie Tribute Collection

David Bowie shares the free spirit and anarchist attitude that is representative of Etnia Barcelona. Bowie has not only been an icon for artists, outsiders and free thinkers of all kinds.

Jean Michel Basquiat Collection

This exclusive collection is a tribute to the world of graffiti and street art. A collection based on three of his works, all having the same common denominator: the three points of his crown.

Wild Love in Africa Collection 

Collection inspired by the intense colors of the savannah and the energy of its inhabitants.

Art and technology

The lenses

Etnia Barcelona works with Barberini mineral glass lenses and HD Colors technology, which brings out and intensifies primary colors. Thanks to the use of rare earth elements, it offers unmatched durability and an unparalleled visual experience.

All lenses use the best coatings to deliver the best visual experience:

  • Anti-reflective: get rid of those annoying light reflections.
  • Anti-scratch: No more scratches on your lenses.
  • Oleophobic: Forget those annoying fingerprint smudges.
  • Hydrophobic: keep your glasses clean.

The frames

Frames made with natural materials.

  • Acetate: the frames are made of the highest quality natural materials, such as Mazzucchelli acetate, which comes from cotton and wood, ensuring maximum comfort.
  • Metal: high quality metal frames with a unique finishing touch.
  • Titanium: frames are made from pure Japanese titanium to offer the lightest and most durable design. Hypoallergenic material.

Why quality and design matters in sunglasses

Materials and lens

Quality sunglasses lenses can provide a number of benefits to the wearer. Some of these benefits include protection from the sun’s harmful UV rays, improved visual clarity, and reduced eye fatigue.

UV radiation can cause a number of problems for the eyes, including cataracts, macular degeneration, and cancer. Good quality sunglasses lenses can block up to 99% of all UV radiation, thus helping to protect the eyes from these dangers.

In addition to protection from UV radiation, high-quality sunglasses lenses can also provide better visual clarity and less eye fatigue. This is because good quality lenses are made with superior materials that reduce glare and distortion. They also provide a more comfortable fit, which can help to reduce eye fatigue caused by long periods of use.

Additionally, look for sunglasses that are made of scratch-resistant materials. This will help keep your lenses looking new for longer.

The design

If you have personality and you like fashion, exclusive design sunglasses will make you stand out from the crowd. In addition to the quality of the materials, the shape, colors and feelings of the sunglasses must fit with who you are, someone unique who knows how to wear exclusive sunglasses.

In short, exclusive sunglasses are not only a question of fashion, but also of personality. If you want to find the perfect pair for you, keep reading because we will give you some tips.

How to choose the right sunglasses for you

The first step is to identify the shape of your face. This will be key to choosing the right model. For example, if you have a round face, you should choose aviator or square shaped sunglasses. 

On the other hand, if your face is oval, you can choose any type of sunglasses. The important thing is that they are not too big or too small. And if you have a heart-shaped face, the ideal would be to bet on cat-eye or oval sunglasses.

The second step is to choose the right color. This will also be determined by the shape of your face and your skin tone. If you have a light complexion, you might go with lighter colors such as white, beige or pink. 

If, on the contrary, you have a dark complexion, you can choose any color, although dark tones such as black, brown or gray usually look best.

And the third and last step is to choose the right material. This will depend on your style and the occasion you are going to use them. For example, if you want a more sophisticated look, you can choose sunglasses made of metal or acetate.

Lunettes pour golfeur

Vous êtes un amateur de golf? Vous désirez optimiser votre jeu de golf? Vous investirez dans l’équipement haute-de-gamme mais peut-être vous négligez l’atout la plus importante que vous avez: votre vision. Pourquoi vous n’investissiez pas dans les lunettes pour golfeur? 

Savez-vous qu’il y a des lunettes peuvent être adaptées pour le golf?


Premièrement, il faut passer un examen de la vue avec votre optométriste. Par la suite, l’optométriste ou l’opticien va déterminer quelles lunettes à choisir.

Idéalement, vous devez choisir une monture légère et robuste; une monture qui restera stable sur votre visage et qui ne glissera pas sur votre nez avec chaque mouvement de la tête. Des montures en titane avec une bonne ajustement sur la tête font ce travail.

Après avoir choisi la monture, on procède aux choix des verres ophtalmiques. Souvent les joueurs de golf préfèrent avoir des verres solaires, car la plupart du temps, nous sommes éblouis par le soleil lors du jeu. Il y a différentes teintes disponible selon la situation à optimiser.

Quelle couleur de teinte a choisir?

Les lunettes pour golfeur sont souvent adaptées avec une teinte de couleur soit ambre brun ou mauve selon le besoin de joueurs. La teinte ambre va aider à voir la balle sur le fond du ciel. La teinte mauve va améliorer le contraste de la balle sur le gazon.

Verres Progressifs Personnalisés


Les verres progressives avec des mesures standards ne sont pas la meilleure choix pour les golfeurs. Ces verres n’optimisent pas les zones de vision nécessaires pour le golf. Les distances de travail ne sont pas les mêmes que dans la vie quotidienne. Les yeux devraient suivre le mouvement de la balle très rapidement et passer à une distance à l’autre. Des verres personnalisés seront un option idéal pour le jeu de golf. Celles-ci vont corriger votre vision dans les zones de distances spécifiques pour le jeu de golf.

Prise des mesures personnalisées


La dernière étape c’est la prise des mesures afin d’optimiser votre vision spécifiquement dans le cadre du jeu de golf. On prend en considération le port de tête du porteur, la distance de travail (longueur de club de golf), et la forme de votre tête. Notre appareil de mesure, le iTerminal mobile de ZEISS permet la prise de mesures personnalisés pour le golf. 

Demandez à votre optométriste quelles seront les meilleures solutions adaptés pour vous.
