AMD Awareness Week
By Peter - 16 August 2012
AMD Awareness week starts on the 22nd September 2012 and will last a week, finishing on 30th September 2012.
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD or ARMD) is a progressive eye condition which destroys the central focus of your vision. Its devastating effects prevent you from being able to see clearly when you read, drive, watch TV, identify faces, basically any activity that requires you to look forward and focus on it. You do not completely lose your vision, but AMD certainly makes your daily chores a challenge.
AMD is estimated to affect as many as 20% of the aging population worldwide. Although there are certain treatments that can cure AMD to an extent, it is still a very costly treatment. Therefore people should look at ways to prevent AMD rather than treating AMD.
The AMD Awareness week is about getting people more aware of AMD and finding ways to prevent AMD. AMD is caused by several factors such as age, but not all factors are completely out of our hands. One of the biggest cards we hold over AMD is our lifestyle such as smoking, nutrition and exercises.
To prevent AMD with the actions we can control, ideally we should avoid smoking. We should be eating lots of healthy food such as vegetables, green vegetables such as spinach are highly recommended. We should be consuming a balanced diet consisting of fish for their oils and vitamins. The intake of fruits and nuts provide us with sufficient nutrients. Doing regular exercises helps maintain our weight as well as improve our blood flow. This helps keep our blood pressure and cholesterol under control. Experts always recommend us wearing 100% UV protective sunglasses when the sun's out. Finally, having routine eye exams with the opticians are always advisable to ensure our eyes and general health are maintained.
Macushield eye vitamins are great supplements to take for the eyes concerning AMD. Macushield contains 3 important ingredients that work directly with the eyes to improve, maintain and protect the eyes and its visual function. Although Macushield are great for the eyes and sometimes seen as a miracle drug, Macushield eye supplements should not be seen as an alternative to a healthy diet. Macushield isn't even considered a drug, but vitamin and nutrient supplements.
During AMD week 2012, doctors, patients, opticians, caregivers and more will be highlighted through the public awareness campaign on how to prevent AMD and protect our sight.

Cheap sunglasses causes allergies?
By Peter - 17 July 2012
There was a recent newspaper article in the Daily Mail where a lady bought £1 sunglasses for a holiday. She claimed she had a severe allergic reaction to them which cut short her holiday, and the article is basically about her trying to warn everyone about the perils of wearing "cheap sunglasses".
This article doesn't highlight the correct points of what would have been a more informing and important article. Firstly, the girl is trying to place the blame of her allergy on her sunglasses because they were cheap. This is not correct. The price of the sunglasses has no relevance to her allergy. If someone is allergic to alcohol, it doesn't matter if you pay £5 or £5,000 for the bottle, you will still get an allergic reaction to both. Being cheap or expensive is not the cause of an allergy.
Plastic sunglasses contain dyes and waxes which may or may not have caused the allergy, but all sunglasses contain dyes and waxes, albeit in different amounts. Plastic sunglasses are made from different raw materials, and it just so happened that the sunglasses the girl worn on holiday contained a raw material she was allergic to. Still, allergic reactions to plastic glasses and plastic sunglasses remain rare.
The most important part of the article was the medical experts saying, "The sunglasses do not always offer adequate protection from harmful UV rays (ultraviolet rays) and wearers may be putting their sight at risk." This is very true. A lot of people think the main role of sunglasses is to dim the brightness of sunlight to allow better vision. This concept is wrong. The main role of sunglasses is to provide UV protection against the sun.
UV rays can cause the eyes to age, can induce cataracts, can damage the retina and the lens of the eyes and cause irreversible damage leading to blindness. These are possible results from long term exposure to sunlight. The true role of sunglasses is to protect your eyes, providing them with a layer of protection to reduce or filter out the dangerous UV rays.
The problem with cheap sunglasses is that they may not provide enough or any UV protection. Therefore cheap sunglasses cannot be trusted for this reason. When buying sunglasses, always look for sunglasses that have a wide lens area that can cover as much of the eyes as possible. Light travels and bounces from different directions and angles. Wide rimmed sunglasses can act as a shield from all angles. Last of all, if you don't know what sunglasses offer 100% UV protection, eyebuddy.co.uk only sell designer sunglasses that offer 100% UV protection. Although not as cheap as £1, our designer sunglasses are much better quality. eyebuddy.co.uk are also cheaper than most authentic online sunglasses suppliers.

What are polarised lenses
By Peter - 7 December 2011
A lot of objects can reflect light. Some of the light is horizontally polarised and some vertically polarised, depending on the angle the light is hitting the object. The light that reflects from an object which obstructs our view is known as glare. Usually it is an intense ray of reflected light, often horizontally polarised. Polarised lenses in designer sunglasses contain a special filter that reduces the horizontally polarised light. Objects that can reflect such light include water, snow and glass.
People who enjoy a lot of water related activities such as fishing will feel the fuller benefits of polarised sunglasses. As water reflects light, it makes it difficult for fishermen and fisherwomen to see under the water. Polarised sunglasses remove or at least reduce some of the glare making the water seem clearer.
Snow, similar to water can reflect light. This is very dangerous for people who are actively partaking in snow based activities such as skiing. Skiing is already a high risk activity. Skiers have enough to deal with when it comes to the ice, hidden dangers, slopes and more. Polarised lenses are highly recommended for skiers as by reducing glare, it removes one of the possible risks of injuring yourself. Removing the glare from the snow allows skiers to have better vision ahead allowing them more time to plan ahead as they enjoy themselves. Polarised snow goggles exist for skiing and other similar activities.
Roads reflect a lot of horizontally polarised light which is why polarised sunglasses are recommended for frequent drivers. Drivers don't want to be hindered by sunlight being reflected from the road surface. It's dangerous for drivers if they are unable to have good vision ahead of them. Removing the glare from the road allows better clarity of vision, more time for judgment and can save lives.
The advantages of polarised lenses are that they remove glare, allow the wearer clearer vision under certain conditions, are comfortable for the eyes and selectively decrease the amount of light. Polarised lenses do come with its disadvantages which should be made aware of. The lenses can reduce the visibility of LCD screens used in the dashboard of some cars, bank machines and other equipment and vehicles. Polarization is heavily affected by the angle you look at objects and also by the time of day (the location of the sun). Overall, polarised sunglasses are far more recommended for outdoor activities, especially for exercises, sports or driving.

5 Reasons for Visiting the Opticians
By Peter - 14 September 2011
-
Detecting Health Conditions
Optometrists can detect health conditions including cholesterol, diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney disease, liver disease, stroke, multiple sclerosis, cancer and more. Many people are unaware that a lot of the conditions mentioned have symptoms in the eye that the optician can pick up in a regular check up.
-
Spotting Eye Conditions
Not all eye conditions have symptoms we can be aware of instantly. Symptoms can be gradual and some you won’t notice at all. Optometrists are trained to spot all eye conditions including glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, cataracts, myopia and others. Not all eye conditions when treated return your eye sight back to original capacity, therefore regular visits to the optician regardless of your eye health is highly recommended. Optometrists also have the power to refer you to the hospital if necessary.
-
Style & Fashion
Opticians aren’t just for eye tests. You can go to an optician to try and buy glasses and sunglasses. You may have perfect eye sight but wear spectacles and shades as a fashion statement. Dispensing Opticians usually can help you with the look and size of spectacles to go for. Sunglasses are also highly recommended accessories for protecting the eyes from harmful UV rays from the sun.
-
Repairing & Maintenance
If your specs are broken, your glasses are uncomfortable or appear misaligned on your face, don’t attempt to fix them yourself. The first stop should be the opticians where trained staff can offer their services and try to help. If the problem is missing nose-pads or missing screws, these are minor things that the optician can take care of. Adjusting the glasses to align with the head is also part of their services.
-
Contact Lenses, Hearing Care & Miscellaneous
Most opticians can offer the services of contact lenses for people who find glasses a hassle. Some opticians also offer hearing care services for people who believe they may have hearing loss. Hearing loss is not easily detected at the beginning but will usually be noticed quicker by friends and family who talk to you often. Opticians will have any eye related accessories you may need such as eye vitamins, solutions and glasses cases, etc.

Back in Trend 2011: Bright coloured designer sunglasses
By Peter - 24 May 2011
The summer season is fast approaching and this year it has been predicted to be the hottest summer yet! Early preparation will help you avoid suffering in the searing heat as the sun will be roaring down whichever destination you choose.
Sun cream lotion, check. Suitable clothing, check. Sunglasses, nope?
If you haven’t gotten your hands on a pair of sunglasses or you’re unsure what pair to buy then let eyebuddy help you decide!
UV Protection
The first and most important thing to be aware of is to ensure your sunglasses offer 100% UV protection. This is to protect your eyes from the harmful UV rays the sun emits. You don’t want sunglasses that block 33% or 80% of the harmful UV rays. You want to go for maximum safety, therefore 100% UV protection is highly recommended and at eyebuddy, all our sunglasses are 100% UV protection guaranteed.
Colour & Trend
In previous years, dark colours were setting the trend for designer sunglasses such as the traditional blacks, browns and gun metals. In 2011, however, fashion experts have predicted a return of bright colours for clothes, designer shoes and designer sunglasses. With such a beautiful summer to come, people want to embrace the warmness by going simple but original in style and colour.
So far this year, people have been targeting warmer colours such as taupe, pink, mauve and lavender. An alternative to these fair colours would be white framed designer sunglasses which match well with the current trending fair coloured dresses for summer.
Brand name
Some of the biggest designer brand names in the sunglasses industry are Ray-Ban, Oakley, Maui Jim and Dior. They’re always coming up with new innovative designs to match the current trending fashion styles and colours. There are plenty of other well known sunglasses brands such as Nike, Miu Miu, D&G, Jimmy Choo, Bvlgari, Police, etc … but one of the brands that have grown considerably and been very successful in 2011 in the UK is Tom Ford. The brand’s concept is perfectly suited to the Anglo-American look and the popularity associated with Tom Ford designer sunglasses is rising at an incredible rate. They have been described as clean, elegant, chic and original.
Celebrities
The media fascination with celebrities has turned them all into potential fashion idols. A lot of people are influenced by what certain celebrities wear and want to model themselves with similar fashion styles. In the recent James Bond films, Daniel Craig has been seen wearing Tom Ford and Persol designer brand sunglasses which led to an influx of orders for identical models. Ray-Ban Wayfarers have always been a big favourite among celebrities. To name a few, those spotted wearing them include actress Jessica Alba, singer Katy Perry (seen above), singer Rihanna (seen above) and British singer Tinie Tempah. Ray-Ban Wayfarer models can be searched on eyebuddy by searching for "Wayfarer" in our search bar at the top.

How to invite the best eyebuddies
By Peter - 11 May 2011
To make the most of our buddy system and attain as much discount as possible, you need to register with us and send invitations to your friends. If your friends make purchases with us, your discounts and savings will increase. Further more, your future purchases will also affect your friend’s discounts and savings. For more information about how our buddy system works, please read here. eyebuddy have devised an interesting system where you have control of your discounts and savings when buying glasses online from us.
The big question is how do you invite the best eyebuddies? Not everyone you invite will register with us. Not everyone you invite will buy from us. Let’s be honest, most of the people who see the email invitation you sent will assume it is spam mail and delete without even reading it. Therefore we have come up with a couple of tips on how to invite the best eyebuddies to eyebuddy.
Tip #1 – Seek out potential buddies
Begin by drawing up a list of friends and family who wear glasses. They are people who are quite likely to purchase a new pair of prescription glasses in the future. Build on your list by adding friends or family who you have been on holiday with recently. Do you remember any of them wearing sunglasses or snow goggles? eyebuddy have a fantastic range of designer sunglasses that may appeal to them. Lastly, add any names of any contact lens wearers that you may know of. If you know someone who used to wear specs regularly but now no longer does, they may have changed to contacts. They may have had laser eye surgery or alternatives, but you can always ask to be sure.
Tip #2 – Talk to them
Now that you have a list of possible eyebuddies, you want to learn more about where they purchased their eyewear. Ask them where they bought their designer glasses, designer sunglasses or contact lenses. Find out what model their eyewear is (so you can search for it on the web). You can even ask if they remember or know how much they cost. If you have any friends or family going on holiday soon, you can tell them about eyebuddy’s range of sunglasses. If they’re interested, you can invite them and tell them to register through the email!
Tip #3 – Homework
Now you have the model, brand, and price and where they bought it from, you can compare the price they paid with our prices. Our default discount upon registering is just 15%, but with a little help from buddies you can reach 40%. For example, if you find a pair of frames that costs £100 without discount at eyebuddy, by registering you now pay £85. If all your buddies help you, you now pay £60. Does your homework show eyebuddy’s price to be cheaper? If yes, you can help us by spreading the word to your friends and family! Word of mouth can work wonders.
Tip #4 – Word of Mouth
If eyebuddy’s prices are indeed cheaper than its competitors, why not spread the word to your list of names? If your father tells you he got his wonderful glasses from his local opticians for £200 and you find the exact same frame could be bought from eyebuddy for £85, tell him! Everyone loves a bargain; everyone wants savings and plenty of it! Once they’re aware they could save a lot of money by buying glasses direct from eyebuddy, tell them you will send them an invitation by email and tell them to register through it.

What sunglasses should I buy?
By Peter - 3 February 2011
People often look for different qualities in sunglasses such as purpose, comfort, optical quality, UV protection, weight, warranty, price and brand.
Define 'purpose'.
For example, outdoor sportsmen often wear nylon frame sunglasses (flexible frames that don’t snap easily when pressure is applied). There are plenty of sunglasses in various shapes, sizes and colours if you are looking for fashion. If you want sunglasses for sunbathing or hiding your identity, you should go for wide frame sunglasses.
Can you elaborate on comfort?
Think of your clothes. If they are too large and baggy or too small and short, you’ll end up fidgeting with it. It’s the same story with sunglasses. You want a pair that fit well on your head. The nose bridge is also important as they help relieve pressure on your nose and cheeks. The height of the nose bridge is dependent on the size of your nose. Bigger noses need lower bridges, smaller noses need high bridges.
What do you mean by optical quality?
The clarity of vision, contrast and colour distortion of sunglasses. There are many coloured lenses with differing intensities. Grey and green lenses are neutral lenses with no colour distortion. Turquoise lenses increase contrast enhancement without colour distortion. Brown, yellow and orange lenses increase contrast enhancement but have some colour distortion. Blue and purple lenses are for fashion purposes. As for colour intensities, the darker the lens, the less light will pass through. Last of all, glass lenses offer better visual clarity compared with plastic.
What should I know about UV protection?
Not all sunglasses offer the same amount of UV protection. The European Union require sunglasses to have 95% UV protection (this means reflect or block 95% of the harmful UV rays emitted from the sun). Most opticians would recommend 99-100% (also known as UV400). There is no relation between the price of sunglasses and the amount of UV protection. The best sunglasses for UV protection are wide frame sunglasses with lenses that cover the whole of the eye area. A lot of designer brands are UV400 and have these large round frames for sale.
How about the weight of sunglasses?
The weight of the sunglasses depends on the frame and lens. Frames made of metal are heavier than plastic or nylon but there are lightweight titanium metal frames. For lenses, glass lenses are heavier than plastic. Heavy sunglasses will often leave indentation marks on the face upon removal.
What’s the difference between glass and plastic lenses?
The only advantage glass lenses have over plastic lenses is the better clarity of vision. Plastic lenses are lighter than glass, will not smash apart as easily and can be made much thinner.
Anything else you think I should know?
These are probably useless facts to you and me, but it makes an interesting read. Most people admit the look of the sunglasses is the biggest factor when deciding which one to buy. Some people wear sunglasses indoors not because they want the attention but rather, they just don’t want to make eye contact during a conversation. The biggest problem associated with sunglasses is misplacing them and forgetting where they’ve been laid. This is especially common on holiday, so take care when you have a good pair of designer sunglasses. You don't want to lose them!

FIVE reasons why STUDENTS should wear GLASSES and SUNGLASSES
By Peter - 28 January 2011
-
Changing appearance
You don’t need bad vision to wear glasses. Whoever said you did? Glasses are a fashion tool. You want to look sexy, sophisticated, geeky, cute, cool or regular plain; glasses are the answer! Putting makeup on can only do so much, glasses can help enhance the look you want. Students are always out and about, we all want to look good in front of others right? Who doesn’t?! If you’re someone who doesn’t usually wear glasses, try them out. Instant attention success!
-
Sleeping in class
Student life, most people have been there. Socialising, partying, drinking, lectures and then there’s … well … sleeping. After a heavy night of partying, you’ve somehow managed to drag yourself to an early morning lecture. Just like everyone else you’re half awake, about to drift off but afraid of being caught and thrown out by the lecturer. Here’s the solution, get yourself a pair of wide frame sunglasses! Now you can relax and doze off looking perfectly cool and in the zone!
-
Heavy partying
After a long and, perhaps in some cases uninspiring day at uni, you need to chill and let loose. You head off to a night club and after a few hours of drinking, your inhibitions have lowered. You wake up the next day full of regret but fear not! As always, we offer you some awesome solutions! First of all, ditch those beer goggles of yours. Everyone knows they’re rubbish for your eyesight! Get real specs! You’ll see a lot better and hopefully you won’t make the same mistake next time. Don’t let them get lucky again. You deserve better!
-
Holiday sunbathing
It’s been known that students somehow manage to go on holidays together despite the cost. When students do go, it’s may be to Ibiza or Ayia Napa because of the sun, partying, alcohol and music (perhaps students learn this genetically). When you’re not sleeping or partying, you’re probably on the beach sunbathing. Make sure you’re wearing sunglasses. Your eyes are important so look after them! The effects of UV are very strong and the UV protection feature of quality sunglasses is often over-looked.
-
Most obvious
This bullet point is probably the most blindingly obvious. Apologies for the awful gag. If you’ve been reading this blog with your face almost kissing the screen, chances are you need to wear spectacles. If that is the case, please see your local optician as soon as possible for an eye-test.
On a final note eyebuddy would like to state they are not liable for; your inability to attain instant attention success when wearing glasses; you still ending up being thrown out of the lecture because your sunglasses illusion didn’t fool the lecturer; you getting beer goggles again even after you got some new glasses; any eye-related problems you got from holiday because your sunglasses do not provide UV protection, get a pair of designer sunglasses instead or consult your opticians for their advice before going; stress to your eyes because you were reading this blog too close to the screen. Get yourself to an optician right this instant!

Geek Chic never grows old
By Peter - 4 January 2011
No idea
what geek chic is? No worries, I’ll slowly break it to you since it really is
that big. It’s pronounced “geek sheek”. It’s been rumoured to turn back time on
your appearance. Is it being hailed as the next miracle cure for aging? Not
quite, but geek chic is on a completely different level in terms of popularity.
Many celebrities and famous people have geek chic and love it. To describe it

back on trend.
Geek chic
fashion is a stereotype of what “geeks” wear, such as thick black rimmed
glasses, T-shirts with hidden geek in-jokes, childishly cute accessories, etc. For
the fashion world, geek chic glamour is gradually changing. It’s no longer
about the geek chic clothes or accessories you wear, it’s about the glasses.
The geek chic glasses provide a retro yet simplistic look which beautifully
accentuates the curves on your face.
The
increasing number of celebrities and well known people seen embracing geek chic
glasses and sunglasses have pushed it right back on trend. Fashion icons such as David
Beckham, Myleene Klass, Johnny Depp, Gok Wan and Jay-Z are big fans of the geek
chic look.

well. So, liking geek chic? If you’re interested in the geek chic look, eyebuddy can help you out! You can try the geek chic look from eyebuddy for as
