Happy Featured Frame Friday!

This week we are highlighting 2 frames from Maui Jim. They got their start in 1987 selling sunglasses on Ka’anapali Beach in Maui, and now offer over 125 frame styles. Inspired by the beauty and culture of Maui, their glasses focus on vivid color and clarity while protecting from glare and UVA/UVB rays. Additionally, their glasses are fully customizable so you can mix and match any frame style with any of their 10 lens colors!

Pictured below are frames Alika (in tortoise and gold) and Castles (in matte dark ruthenium with black). Stop by for a try-on today!

Off-hours schedules can disrupt sleep and eye comfort. Dim screens at night, use night-mode filters, wear sunglasses on the commute home, and aim for a consistent wind-down routine.
Protect sleep, protect sight.

Neck strain from leaning in at screens? Consider office lenses for near/intermediate zones or progressives for seamless near-to-distance vision.
Right task = right lens = happy posture.

This week our team took a field trip and toured Art Optical, a contact lens lab based right here in the Grand Rapids area! Founded in 1931, they originally produced ophthalmic lenses but shifted their focus to custom contact lenses in 1958. Since then, they’ve produced RGP, scleral, and custom soft lenses that have served nearly 5 million patients throughout the United States and overseas!

Custom contact lenses are a game changer for those who’d like to wear contacts but have prescriptions that don’t fit standard parameters. These lenses start as blanks, and through the use of special lathes are made into the correct size, shape, and prescription. Pictured below you can see some of the blanks used, which vary in material and oxygen permeability.

Thank you Erik for the wonderful tour and to the entire team at Art Optical for the care and attention to detail that is poured into every lens.

Wrap styles reduce wind and debris, grippy temples stay put, and polarization cuts road glare. Swap lenses for changing light to keep your route clear and comfortable.

Trimmers, branches, and dust move fast—protect your eyes with ANSI-rated goggles. If debris gets in, rinse with clean water or sterile saline—never rub.
Safety first = vision protected.

Save this before spring cleanup.

Happy Featured Frame Friday! This week we have another double feature, this time with two WOOW frames.

WOOW was founded in 2011 with a vision to transform the everyday into a celebration of joy. They craft eyewear for the adventurous, the spirited, and the optimists. This is evidenced in the name of each of their frames, which is featured in the frame’s temples.

Take a look at the Super Soul and Try Harder frames below! Both feature a fun shape with a bright pop of color. And don’t forget we have just days left of our sunglasses sale where you can save up to 50% off! Stop by for a try-on today 😎
