Tuaco Opticians lay out the joy of pairing eyewear

-

Many households in Malta are equipped with multiple TV units and screens, yet it is uncommon for individual­s to own more than one pair of spectacles despite eye health being an important festive season resolution for them.

There are a number of scenarios that make expanding one’s “optical wardrobe” an essential. These range from protecting oneself from the harmful UV rays by owning eye and sun glasses, to near and distance visions, night and day visions, sports and fashion.

“Whether one wears any form of corrective lenses or not, most eye care experts recommend a comprehens­ive eye exam every one to two years, depending on age and risk factors. The festive season which culminates with the New Year is an important and ideal time for starting fresh. Checking one’s eyes and getting a second pair of eyewear either for oneself or for a loved one makes for a very appropriat­e and practical gift both to have a new pair for 2017, but even more importantl­y to have a spare pair when they are most needed,” said Adrienne Despott, manager of Tuaco Opticians.

Tuaco Opticians is an establishe­d name in Malta’s eyewear trade and is home to a wide selection of latest frames and sunglasses for all ages. Brands available from Tuaco focus on vision correction but also on making a fashion statement: Ray-Ban, Oakley, Versace, Burberry, Michael Kors, Persol, Oliver Peoples, Dolce & Gabbana, Giorgio Armani Vogue, among others.
