Go Ahead, Give it a Read

I had an opportunity to view the Indie Eyewear Company Todd Rogers Eyewear awhile ago at Vision Expo East. It is unfortunate that our readers will not be able to see and feel the quality and workmanship of this beautiful line. One of the things that people don’t see, when you look at an eye-wear picture is the quality of the product. When you look at a picture, you may think Tortoise and never realize like any other type of ‘plastic’ there is always a variance in quality. How a frame stays in adjustment, how it weathers wear and tear, how the colors stay vibrant for years. A Tortoise color is not just a tortoise color.. I think you can see some of the unique marbling in zyl acetate that designer Todd Rogers uses.



You may think a hinge is a hinge… not true.. some are cheap and will fall apart and others use various metals to hold up, especially since hinges are one of the most broken parts of a frame. The hinges are tensile, which means strong but flexible enough to take the constant opening and closing of temples.



Eyewear should not only look good, but feel good. In the above picture note the nose pads, they are elongated to distribute weight over the nose.. No more red lines and headaches..

Everything from the temple length, the temple tips and even the eyewire which holds the lenses in are important in quality eyewear. If the eyewire is not deep enough, it will not accommodate many lens types, which may be one of the reasons that lenses can fall out of frames.
 

We love the line.. it feels good and looks good.
