Swimming Goggles & Glasses Made Of 100% Fish Scales!


Some food for thought: when fish are scaled so that people can put them on their dinner plates, what happens to the leftover material? That’s the question that one student at the Royal College of Art, Erik de Laurens, asked himself – and the result was an ingenious new substance that he calls “fish scale plastic.” Using the surprisingly beautiful substance, we created 3 pairs of goggles, tumblers and even a table with an inlay of a fish.

Did you know that March is Save Your Vision Month!?

WOW! There's so much going on in March in regards to your vision and eye wellness!

With so much work to do and so many people to educate, there are now two observances in the US to help spread the word... "Workplace Eye Wellness Month" and "Save Your Vision Month."


If you haven't had your eyes checked in a while (or ever, be honest)... and have been using that 'ol "my eyes are just a bit dry/tired lately" it may be time to head over to your local Optometrist to check things out and make sure it isn't time for some reading glasses (don't worry, they are cute now!)

If you already wear reading glasses and are sick and tired of the "on/off" when you are sitting in front of your computer... Did you know there's a solution?!  Yup! Rims & Goggles has just what you need (here's a secret... I wear them and they've changed my life!)

So whether you are new to the art of looking fantastic in glasses, or ready to step it up and rock some of the latest lenses on the market, Rims & Goggles of Marin will help show you the way.

Rescued Miners Wear Oakley Sunglasses for UV Protection!

Oakley sunglasses help miners during rescue!

The 33 miners trapped underground in Chile have reportedly started a regime designed for fighter pilots to prepare them for their ascent to the surface, and would be provided with sunglasses to protect their eyes from the sunlight when they reach the surface.
On August 5, the roof of the Copiapo copper-gold mine collapsed, leaving 33 miners trapped at approximately 700 metres underground.
According to The Telegraph, Oakley, the American-based eyewear giant, will be providing sunglasses to the miners so that their eyes could be protected from ultraviolet rays. Doctors have warned that sudden exposure to light after such a long period of stay underground could damage their retinas. They will also be given medication to protect against common germs.
Dr Jean Romagnoli, a sports physician who is looking after the miners' physical fitness, said that the miners will have to perform 20 minutes of aerobic exercise every day until they are rescued to prevent muscle cramps during the rescue operation. "Finally, they will have to fast for eight hours before they make the journey up," he added. 
The miners will also be closely monitored to check whether they have developed any fungal or skin infection in the humid atmosphere underground, the paper said.
