During June, we celebrate Cataract Awareness Month! Optometrists of Colorado want to alleviate any concerns you may have about aging. You might not know it, but cataracts are the leading cause of blindness worldwide. A staggering 70% of adults over 75 in the U.S. have cataracts or have undergone cataract surgery. If you are wondering, “What is a cataract?” Cataracts occur when the lens inside the eye becomes clouded, resulting in reduced vision. If you are older than 55, it is especially important to get a comprehensive eye exam each year.

As 2016 comes to an end and 2017 begins, there is always a change in everything, and this is no exception for eyewear. From prescription eyewear to sunglasses, eye wear has become a fashion lover's delight. We live in a time and age where eyeglasses have become a fashion item, not just a necessity for better vision. Many fashionistas consider frames to be their best friends, as they frequently complete an entire outfit. Some people collect a variety of frames just to change their look or to express their mood.  In this article, we will explore the most popular trends in eyewear, from style to color. So, what does the upcoming "hot" look in eyewear look like?

There is something about the right pair of frames that sets the mood, and we all strive to look good, great, and confident. From James Dean to Marilyn Monroe, these icons were always seen sporting iconic frames and lenses that enhanced their personalities.  But why? Could it be the allure or the sense of mystery behind the frames? Great shades can create a sense of allure and attractiveness.
