On and Off the Slopes, Protect Your Eyes from Winter UV

On and Off the Slopes, Protect Your Eyes from Winter UV

As the winter season hits full tilt, it's important to remember that eye protection is just as important in the cold months as it is during the summer.

The sun's UV rays can still cause damage to your eyes in the winter. The reflective nature of the snowy, icy landscape reflects the sun’s UV rays during winter, increasing exposure and possibly leading to snow blindness.

Finding Ways to conduct "Business as Usual" in a most unusual time.

Finding Ways to conduct "Business as Usual" in a most unusual time.

We're living through an unprecedented time in our lives. In many ways, COVID-19 has put the world on "pause" and businesses around the world are looking to find ways to keep working and connecting with clients and consumers remotely while we wait out this pandemic.

For business owners, the best thing you can do right now is to keep the lines of communication open with your patients.

Reach out to them and let them know what your policies are for sanitizing your stores. Let them know what your interim measures are for handling their eyecare needs during this crisis and be a resource to them if they need you.

FALL IN LOVE WITH A NEW HUE THIS VALENTINE’S DAY

FALL IN LOVE WITH A NEW HUE THIS VALENTINE’S DAY

Last month we explored Pantone’s 2020 color of the year, Classic Blue, with a look at some of our top-selling-blue frames. But this month, we want you to fall in love with a new hue! Just in time for February, we dare you to rock the red, look pretty in pink, or step out perfectly flawless in purple. Whether you are an extrovert or an introvert, a fashionista or couch surfer, love-colored frames allow you to experiment with a pop of color and make a statement in your own wonderful way.

At Väri, we love how comfortable people tell us our frames are, and we certainly love the way they look on YOU, but we also know love is more than what we wear. It is the foundation for how we feel and how we interact with our world. Sometimes we can be our own worst enemy when it comes to loving ourselves. So, in celebration of Valentine’s Day we wanted to focus this blog on sharing a few ways you can remind yourself to be kinder and more loving to the all-important YOU!
