Students from the Royal College of Art have been invited by the Federation of Manufacturing Opticians to put forward designs for eyewear that will be displayed at Optrafair in April.
‘Eyes to the future, frames of 2009’ will aim to build on the success of previous Optrafair awards. The MA students’ sketches will be displayed in the Optrafair arena alongside the winning Optra Award frames put forward by exhibitors.
Students’ entries have been invited in five categories, men’s ophthalmic, women’s ophthalmic, men’s sunglasses, women’s sunglasses and children’s ophthalmic; the same categories as for the 2009 Optra Awards.
The students have been briefed by the FMO on the construction of spectacles, materials and relevant commercial factors, particularly for the accommodation of ophthalmic lenses.
