Mike Hale: Heating up

Going on holiday abroad is usually the best opportunity of any given year to briefly set aside your professional interests and obligations. However, in foreign climes I often find myself involuntarily noting the eyewear sported by my fellow tourists and local people, along with the similarities and differences presented by any optical practices encountered compared to those in the UK.

A recent trip to the Mediterranean was no different and I did spot several sunglass styles sighted first at a trade show many months ago being worn by some of the more on-trend beachgoers. Certainly, those shades and others are often needed to help keep wearers cool as temperatures soar during the summer months.
