Imaging launches and handcrafted eyewear

Barton Perreira’s new collection explores sculptural design and architectural influence with geometry, beveling, and transparent detailing.

The colourways include warm translucent neutrals with classic tortoiseshell, gradients evoking sunlight refracted through glass and ombré lenses inspired by Murano glass and dusky skies.

Craftsmen in Japan bevel and polish the eyewear by hand, with Patty Perreira, brand co-founder and creative director describing it as “a lost art in today’s world. It’s slow, precise, and it’s what makes our eyewear exceptional.”

Optos has launched Silverstone RGB, a new system building on the Silverstone platform with a suite of nine imaging modalities in a single device.

The device combines a 200-degree ultra-widefield imaging with swept-source optical coherence tomography (OCT).

The nine modalities include optomap colour RGB for retinal colour imaging, optomap colour RG, optomap fluorescein angiograpgy for vascular evaluation and disease detection, and optomap indocyanine green angiography for choroidal and vascular imaging.

The optomap Sensory Red-Free is included for highlighting nerve-fiber and vascular structures, optomap Choroidal Imaging for deep tissue visualisation, and optomap Green Autfluorescence for identifying retinal pigment epithelium changes and metabolic activity.

Finally, the optomap Blue Autofluoresence is featured for visualising subtle retinal pathology, and Swept-Source OCT for high-resolution, navigable imaging.

Masayuki Numako, director and executive vice president head of healthcare business division for Nikon Europe B.V described the Silverstone RGB as “transformative” for eye care professionals.

Numako suggested: “By combining 200-degree single-shot ultra-widefield optomap technology, true-to-life colour accuracy, and advanced swept-source OCT, clinicians can evaluate retinal pathology with unparalleled confidence, and efficiency.”

Eyespace has spotlighted the latest optical release from the Aspinal of London collection.

Inspired by the chain strap of Aspinal’s ‘Mayfair’ bag, the ‘ASP L589’ features a metal accent inlaid along the top line of the temples.

The frame, incorporating eco-friendly materials, is available in a black with gold colourway or a glossy jewel-like blue.

Eyespace suggested the frame suits a wearer looking for “modern heritage luxury with a sustainable edge.”

Haag-Streit UK announced the global launch of the Elara 900 slit lamp and the Refractor 900 digital phoropter.

The new silt lamp features a projector-based P-Type light source, one-touch presets, and motorised height and magnification controls. An optional dual-camera setup enables immerseive 3D image and video capture in 4K.

The Refractor 900 features ultra-fast lens changes, 1/8 diopter adjustments in sphere and cylinder and real-time video imaging for accurate vertex distance measurement.

Kaleos Kids takes off with its latest collection designed for “young dreamers” with the campaign set in an airport.

The collection features kid’s versions of Kaleos’ iconic frames, reimagining them in colourful styles.

Highlights in the collection include the hexagonal sunglasses ‘Valka,’ the square sunglasses ‘Shelbourne,’ and the rounded ‘Brent.’
