Introducing our newest collection –Frieze frames, made in France and hard to find in NYC. We fell in love with their modern versions of classic shapes and bold colors. Some of the female shapes and sunglass models have embedded crystals, done in an understated manner. We will offer a 25% discount on this line of frames until the end of the year. To make room for our many new frames we have also heavily discounted some of our older frame lines.

Thanks to your interest in the John Lennon article, I’ve decided bring to the office my personal copy of Bob Gruen’s Sometime in New York City, a rare limited-edition book of stunning photographs and memories of John and Yoko when they lived in Manhattan.. The book holds special meaning for me, as I supplied John with many of the glasses he wore in the pictures. This copy is signed by Gruen and Yoko Ono.
If you wish to see it, please call us first to ensure it will available for viewing at the time you come. The book will remain the office until December 31.

A patient of mine, knowing that John Lennon had been my patient, gave me a copy of Into The Sky With Diamonds: The Beatles And The Race To The Moon In The Psychedelic ’60s, by Ron Grelsamer, a friend of his. I really enjoyed the book, and even posted a review of it on the Amazon page.
It so happens that Ron is also a renowned orthopedic surgeon at The Mount Sinai Medical Center. The three of us recently met up and had a fascinating conversation about our shared interest in the Beatles.

“Dr. Tracy, can I sleep overnight with my contact lenses?”
The short answer — I strongly discourage it.
Studies show that people who sleep with their contacts are almost 20 times more likely to develop eye infections, sometimes leading to permanent corneal scarring and loss of vision. The odds of getting an infection increases with each consecutive night worn.
Despite the risks and warnings, some patients still sleep with their lenses. If they do wake with redness or irritation, they should, of course, remove the lenses right away. If symptons continue, I urge them to see me immediately to check for infections or abrasions. Appropriate treatment, if started promptly, will usually prevent serious consequences.

Do you have old unused prescription glasses? We’d be happy to collect and send them for you to New Eyes for the Needy, a New Jersey-based non-profit that distributes glasses to poorer people in the USA and worldwide.
New Eyes has been around since 1932 and has served more than 7 million people. We’re proud to support their efforts.

We’ve bolstered our selection of sunglasses this past year. One of our favorites — Reptile Sunglasses. “The Microbrewery of Polarized Sunglasses” is their tagline, and for good reason.
You won’t find Reptiles everywhere. They’re made by Reptile Eyewear, a proudly independent American company headquartered in Massachusetts.
These high definition polarized sunglasses do it all – combining great technology with great looks and comfort. Perfect for both athletes and casual wearers, year-round (remember, I always encourage clients to wear sunglasses year-round, for health reasons).
Come in, try them on.

Flents, our favorite!
Here’s a great upgrade, both functional and stylish.
These colorful cases — for hard or soft contact lenses — offer rubberized tops for superior grip, a leak-proof design, and are color coded left and right for easy identification. And they come in great colors!
We carry Flents Soft Grips in various colors.
Thanks to our patient Ann Brown for recommending this case!
