years, spring hinges have been very

* Move the sun lens in front of your
eye to be sure no distortion exists. Any
lens distorlion can cause visual dis-
comfort. Remember, if, your eyes are
tired and distressed, you: wiil be, toa.

«[F you are onc of those people
prone to lasing or even sitting on your

sunglasses, consider the following ,

advice. Whenever you take your sun-
glasses off, immediately put them into
a hard eyeglass case.-[f that’s not
always possible, purchase a fashion-
able neck chain. or cord and let them
hang. In fact, some designers, like
Gianfranco Ferre have incorporated a
neck cord into some of their newest
sunglass designs.
