Fendi have always manufactured top of the range designer glasses for the ladies. This 936 Fendi (604 colour code) burgundy frame ticks all the positive criteria, persuading us to select this as our frame of the month. The 936 Fendi glasses is a full rim plastic frame.

Hugo Boss are a reliable brand when it comes to producing classy goods and the BOSS 0197 Hugo Boss spectacle does not disappoint. This semi-rimless (supra) frame is designed to look sleek, sophisticated and casual at the same time. It is not an over-the-top frame where the designers have put too much effort into making the glasses unique, but at the same time it is not plain enough to look abysmal or boring.

This gorgeous frame is designed for the female population. Our panel of experts decided to opt for a different type of coloured frame this month. Blacks, whites and havanas are by far some of the most popular frame colours people usually choose for their designer frames. We decided to look past these obvious colour palettes and seek a frame that could optimise character and appearance.

This designer frame simply grabbed our attention because of the number of colours splashed across the frame. Usually when so many colours are used, this takes away from the aesthetics of the frame as it becomes too chaotic. However with the Oakley Hearsay Ophthalmic frame, the colours used and the pattern of the arm design is just perfect.

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.

There are simply too many disadvantages when compared to contact lenses. For example, the frame of spectacles has been designed to obstruct as little of your vision yet it still does to an extent. Another example is the distance between the eye and lens of glasses and contact lenses. The small gap of distance for glasses can sometimes cause a distortion in the vision which doesn't happen with contact lenses.

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.
