Welcome back, Nerds! Today we want to talk about quality craftsmanship and how to find it when shopping for eyewear. We know most patients have no idea that not all frames are created equal, but we want to help with that! So if you want to know how to spend your bucks well, take a seat, sip your coffee and enjoy the banter! #EyewearCraftsmanship #PodcastEpisode #handmadeeyewear #indepedenteyewear #QualityMatters" 🎧 The Authenticity of French Eyewear Expertise.

This week we're sitting down to discuss the basic anatomy of your eyewear. Not sure what the heck a temple is? Or what those random numbers engraved on the insides of frames mean? We're here to help! Apologies in advance, we had (yet another) round of technical difficulties this week so if the quality is kind of bad, deal with it. We did. We're still here and we're still unhinged, so share your thoughts and questions with us and lets get to it! BZRK Wear: @bzrkwearhttps://bzrkwear.com/Glasses (2023, August 12).

Welcome back Nerds. Hope you brought your coffee this morning because we're talking about PROGRESSIVES! Finally. We both have a lot of opinions on these lenses and so do their wearers. So lets find out the price to pay for the sake of vanity and not wearing "grandpa's lenses". Lets jump on into it! National Academy of Opticianry.

Woah! We are BACK and more unhinged than ever! We both thank you for your patience with our technical difficulties last week, however, this week we're having a hard time staying on topic. We're trying to discuss Cherry Optical Lab's recent news about partnering with Horizons Optical. How that could affect the landscape of options available available on the market? What are their products like? We're hoping for great things but currently just speculating a LITTLE too hard. Enjoy this episode for the hilarity of our conversation more than the topic itself. Check out our socials for sneak peeks from the bloopers!
