Spectacle Lenses
Albert I’mStein
This emerging eyewear brand originates from Poland and is manufactured using high-quality materials in Korea. Their designs feature original shapes with great colour combinations. By mixing the main elements of acetate and titanium, Albert I’mStein has managed to produce some truly fresh and stylish pieces.
One of the things we love most about Albert I’mStein is their willingness to flirt with colours that very few eyewear brands would dare to mix together. But they blend so well and provide the wearer with bold statement eyewear that definitely stands out from the crowd. Each and every piece in their collection is fun and unique.
Albert I’mStein wants their customers to feel bold, unique, and confident when wearing their eyeglasses. They describe their collections as witty and fun, and we couldn’t agree more. To some, their collection may sit on the fringes of outrageous, but the experience of wearing their eyewear is nothing but joyful.
Anne Et Valentin – Frames
Structured by metal and softened with plastic, the focal point of this series is its association of materials, equaled only by its association of subtle colours.
Its the chameleon of the eyewear world, adapting to all personalities.
Clean and gentle lines become chic and cheery in certain subtle colours. These original and bold frames make for a challenging and completely unique line that anticipates a clientele of eclectic tastes, interested in style, yes, but also in substance.
Anne et Valentin – Sunglasses
The strong, distinguished lines of certain models, the beveled face, carefully sculpted temples and geometric proportions of others…: this line is entirely focused on density, energy and light. The essential pair of sunglasses.
The women’s frames are incredibly sensual, sexy and playful, and come in hot shades, with syrupy, opaline, translucent tones (olive green or candy pink) as well as classic colors like black and tortoiseshell.
Bellinger
The focus of Bellinger is to make a statement and leave a lasting impression. Inspired to be refreshing and innovative, Bellinger frames will always have that extra flavor that makes the brand interesting. The fun shapes, the unique color combinations, the fine details, or the precision cuttings – these are all things that make Bellinger stand out.
Blackfin
Japanese titanium, Italian talent.
It all starts with a titanium slab. But not any old titanium – it has to be the purest in the world.
Faced with a slab of titanium most people just see the metal, but the team at Blackfin can glimpse the soul of their eyewear. Blackfin want to create the best titanium frames, therefore there can be no compromise on quality.
Titanium is the heart around which they build their products. It is a truly special material with unique features, suitable for the realization of optical frames. A frame made of titanium is 48% lighter than a similar one made of the more common nickel / silver. The high mechanic performance, together with the lightness, make titanium the material with the best mechanical strength / weight ratio.
Blue Control
Blue light
LCD and LED computer and television screens, smartphones, tablets and GPS devices all emit blue light, also known as high energy visible light. As the quality of such screens improves continuously, their blue light emission is increasing. Although blue light in itself is a natural phenomenon – it is present in daylight and helps us to stay awake – excessive amounts can have an adverse effect and cause eye strain and fatigue.
BlueControl is offered in combination with HOYA’s unsurpassed Diamond Finish anti-reflection coating. This durable coating layer offers 75% more scratch resistance than its predecessors and adds even more comfort to lens wearers.

Dutz
Everybody can be so Dutz!
The Dutz collection targets men and women of all ages. Dutz has paid special attention to those with large and small faces who have difficulty finding a frame that fits. Meeting the needs of those that require a larger or smaller size, yet do not want to compromise on design.
Dynamic Sync
The way we look at the world and use our eyes has changed over time. We used to spend most of our time looking at far and intermediate distances. Today we primarily focus on near objects such as computers, laptops, tablets, smartphones, gaming devices and books. Most of us don’t realise the harmful effect this shift has on our eyes and vision.
Growing exposure to digital screens
Nearly 60% of us are looking at digital screens for 5+ hours per day and it’s taking its toll on our eyes, causing eye fatigue and digital eye strain. Symptoms can include tired eyes, blurred vision, headache and dry eyes. You may even experience neck or back pain, through stress placed on your cervical spine, if you’re spending long periods bent forward looking at a screen.
Spending a large amount of time looking at digital screens (or any near object) means our eyes are constantly exerting more effort to focus. Put simply, our eyes are working harder, causing strain.
How do Dynamic Sync lenses work
Dynamic Sync lenses are specifically designed for people who spend long periods of time looking at near objects such as digital screens and require glasses to see things clearly in the distance. Dynamic Sync’s superior design has your ‘distance power’ for everyday use and a ‘boost zone’ at the bottom of the lens. The boost zone reduces eye strain during up-close activities such as looking at digital screens, reading or any ‘near task’ activities. The boost zone allows your eye muscles to relax and focus more easily, helping to relieve eye strain and provide visual comfort. This is even after several hours looking at near distances.
EnRoute
Plenty of us dislike night driving – there’s no feeling quite like getting someone else’s high beams shined in your eyes or driving in low-light conditions.
It can also be dangerous, so Hoya have specifically designed EnRoute prescription lenses to meet the visual needs of drivers, whilst also being suitable for everyday wear.
Wearers will experience reduced glare from oncoming car headlights and improved contrast perception.
Ask us for Hoya’s EnRoute lenses, and enjoy safer and more comfortable driving.
Face à Face
Face à Face frames are hand made in France.
Face à Face glasses grew out of a passion for architecture shared by a small group of eyewear enthusiasts. The creator of the original concept behind the collection dreamt of giving eyewear the power to reflect the character of the person wearing it. Face à Face was designed to reveal the sense of the modern that’s in all of us. They felt that nothing could reflect the look that makes each of us what we are, better than our own eyes.
Like an architect, Face à Face works with volumes, shapes, materials, colours and textures to give its glasses the power to express the personality of their wearer, whether that be bold, carefree, energetic, independent or even seductive. Each new collection is preceded by a research and design stage, resulting in new styles enhanced by innovative concepts and incorporating the latest in fashion.
