| Hooray for Ray’s SunglassesWe are great jazz fans at Eyesite, so the Ray Charles’ movie, ‘Ray’, was no only a celebration of his great music, but a journey of sunglass design through the 50’s 60’s and 70’s. Ray wore several models in the film, in colours black and tortoise, especially the Rayban ‘Wayfarer’… Quincy Jones also wore Wayfarers, but his sunglass was a 90’s model ?… great movie…great retro specs!

Ozzy Osborne's Round Eyes.Ozzy gets through a lot of specs and we would like to know what happens to them. Does he lose them?, break them?, eat them?, give them away? He recently ordered 30 pairs of the Savile Row Round Eyes to keep up with the usage. We like the ones with the blue tint best of all.
