How old were you when you got your first glasses? If you were still a kid, there’s a chance you might have been teased at school. But who’s getting the last laugh, now that getting the right pair of specs is the ultimate style statement.

We’re not saying eyewear doesn’t come with its own stresses and strains, especially when you add contacts lenses into the mix. In fact, from smears and glare on your glasses to dry, uncomfortable contacts, it can be a bit of a bore.
