Reniel wearing the Etnia Brighton

We were lucky enough to have our Etnia Rep come into our Europtics stores today, to show off some of the new eyeglasses they’ve come out with already this year. He had 5 new styles, but my favorite was called the Brighton. (You may or may not know; Etnia names all of their glasses after cities all over the world.) The Brighton is an extremely wearable rectangular frame. It works well on so many Read the rest of this entry »

When Europtics (our brick and mortar stores in Denver, CO.) was at Vision Expo West in Las Vegas, we saw a marvelous new line made by BaumVision. Shane Baum calls this line Leisure Society, and it hearkens back to a gentler era in our history. He envisions these frames as “heirloom frames;” something you’ll want to hand down to your children, and grandchildren. More importantly, he envisions these glasses and sunglasses as something your children and grandchildren will want to receive from you!

Shane Baum has spent over 3 years designing the 4 sunglass and 5 optical frames, and has been working with the finest artisanal craftsmen in Japan. Each frame takes 6 hours to engrave; which means production is limited to 4 frames a day. He has vowed to use only the best materials available, with the end result being stunning glasses that will last, both in terms of durability, and in terms of fashion. The styles are classic, and will look as wonderful 5 years from now as they do today.

If you would like more information on these marvelous frame, please contact us @: info@eoptics.com or right here on our blog.

Some of you may know about Maybach cars. They are the height of luxury, and use only the finest materials. Well, now Maybach has come out with a line of sunglasses and eyeglasses, and they use some of the very same materials! The line is very Read the rest of this entry »

I wanted to take some time today to remind everyone out there that eOptics.com is able to accept HSA (Health Savings Account) and FSA (Flexible Spending Account) money for prescription products. This includes eyeglasses and sunglasses. The great thing about both HSA’s and FSA’s is that the money comes out of your paychecks is pretax dollars, therefore you end up with more of it to spend. As it sounds, this money is really for medical payments, such as doctor’s visits, medical prescriptions, reading glasses and eyeglasses! As long as the eyeglasses have your prescription in them, they are eligible for HSA and FSA payments. Of course, sunglasses are also on the list, as long as they are prescription.

The money you save ends up being quite significant (up to 25% in some cases), and really helps out when you’re looking at larger out of pocket expenses. You can also use this for your dependents, as well. It really allows you to buy what you want and need, not just what will get you by. I am a huge fan of these types of accounts, because it forces you to save the money for medical expenses.

The one thing you really need to remember, though, is that most of these plans expire at the end of each year. This means, if you haven’t used the money in the account, you can’t get it back. They often don’t carry over from year to year, so make sure to spend your money before you lose it!
