Lizzy's style notes

OT's columnist, Lizzy Yeowart, considers a dispensing scenario. This month for a 45-year-old architect with presbyopia

Lizzy says...

One must assume that a 45-year-old presbyopic architect will have an interest in the aesthetic and will spend a lot of time in front of a computer screen.

For women

Caroline Abram
‘CH12567’ in rose gold by Caroline Abram

The ‘Vibrant’ by Caroline Abram is a soft, flattering cat’s-eye made entirely from titanium. It comes in six colourways, each offering a beautiful contrast between the top of the frame and the temple.

For men

Bruce and Booth
‘BB2004’ in colour ‘Reflection’ by Bruce and Booth

The ‘BB2004’ by Booth and Bruce combines style with practicality. It is deep enough to accommodate an intermediate prescription or varifocal, and lightweight enough to wear all day.
