OPTICIAN SANS

Optician Sans is a free typeface based on the historical eye charts and optotypes used by opticians world wide. Optician Sans is based on the same visual principles as the LogMAR chart, adjusted to be used as a fully functional display typeface. In addition to the basic latin characters we created a set of alternatives glyphs for a more wholesome look. How true you want to stay to the original characters is up to you. You’ll find all characters in the Glyph panel in your preferred layout or type application.

Optician Sans is created by ANTI Hamar and typographer Fábio Duarte Martins. https://optician-sans.com/

i NEED anything with glasses reid or munch reid i’m literally frothing at the mouth 🙏

ty for ur request :D fem!reader

"Emily," you say weakly. "What is that?" 

Emily looks up from her desk, clearly desperate for a distraction, the lip of her coffee mug against painted lips. "What's what?" 

"That." You point. You feel sick to your stomach. "That right there." 

"Oh," Emily says happily. "You finally noticed. Yeah, Spence forgot to renew his contact prescription. He has to wear glasses for two weeks." 

Spencer stands by the photocopier with a perturbed frown, clicking a button, then another. His brow is furrowed and his hair is falling into his eyes. He has the stupidest, dorkiest, prettiest face, and practically every expression he makes has you weak in the knees.

"That long?" you ask. 

Derek looks up in concern at your pained tone, following the line of your eyes. When he realises what it is that's hurt you so, he skirts around the desk to shake your shoulder. "You could always tell him how you feel. I'm sure he'd keep the lenses forever if he knew you liked them." 

"I don't like them," you say. You sound faraway to your own ears. You hate them. They're gonna be your demise. 

Spencer runs a fingertip across the photocopier's screen, in his own world as the machine finally begins to chug out whatever it is he'd been wanting a duplicate of. The frames of his glasses sit snug on his nose. You can tell from even this distance that the lenses make his eyes look a tiny bit smaller. You could probably point out a misplaced freckle if he asked you to.

"Don't be cruel, he looks cute," Emily teases. 

Spencer collects his papers, shuffling them into a straight line as he makes his way back to the bullpen. You pretend to take interest in Emily's things. She sips her coffee too nonchalantly. Derek doesn't even bother pretending. 

"What?" Spencer asks, swift to spot your suspicious behaviours. "Is it the glasses?" 

You wince. "Of course not. You look… you look really nice, Spence." 

"You know he used to wear 'em every day?" Derek asks.

You would've died. "Before I joined?" 

"For a few years," Spencer says, looking you over. "You're unhappy. Is something wrong?" 

He looks to Derek and Emily for confirmation. Emily stutters for an answer while Derek laughs in the background, "She– you know. She just– She missed breakfast!" 

Spencer pushes his glasses up his nose by the leg and drops his copies onto the desk. "I have dried apricot in my bag. Two seconds." 

He bends over his chair to retrieve his bag from under the desk. Your eyes blow wide at his position, the sudden demonstration of well-fitted pants. Derek's laugh echoes up to the eaves. 

"And he has that twenty four seven," Emily says against the rim of her coffee. 

You scrunch your eyes closed and tilt your head back. After a few seconds, a hand touches your elbow gently, a hesitance that comes with only one member of the BAU. "You okay?" Spencer asks. 

"I'm okay. Headache," you lie. 

Spencer presses the apricot into your hands. "Maybe you should see an optician. You know they can tell if you have a brain tumour from one photo of your sclera?" He smiles morbidly, his glasses slipping down his nose. "They measure the size of your optic disk. It takes less than a minute. I can give you the name of my doctor, if you want. She's nice. Not as nice as you." 

Your throat is so dry you can't form words to answer him. He doesn't judge your rigid nodding. 

"I'll write down the number for you. And, Y/N?" 

"Yeah?" you choke out. 

"You look really nice today, too." 

Emily has to kick you in the leg to bring you back to earth. Stupid Spencer. Stupid lovely glasses.

I can see you with me

Short Wangxian fic - Optometrist Wei Wuxian, patient Lan Wangji meet-cute!

‘Oh no,’ Wei Wuxian thinks as he walks his last patient of the day to the door. No, no, no. Absolutely no way is he letting this happen.

He calls a half-hearted farewell to his patient and races to the check-out counter with the speed of a man attempting to stop a horrible tragedy – because he is.

Right there, in the middle of his own clinic, the most beautiful man in the entire, literal world is about to buy the most hideous glasses any incompetent, fashionably challenged manufacturer has ever dared to create.

It all happens like a dramatic slo-mo scene from an action movie. As he approaches the counter, arm outstretched, the patient and his optician, Nie Huaisang, turn to him with wide eyes. He thinks he hears Nie Huaisang call his name in alarm, but it barely registers through the haze of desperation.

“No!” He cries and finally, finally reaches the counter. In one fell swoop, he snatches the patient’s credit card and glasses in his hand and steps back out of reach.

“I cannot let this transaction happen, not in my store.”

From the corner of his eye, he swears he sees Nie Haisang heave a sigh of relief, but when he checks, the man looks as anxious and confused as he always does. The patient, a serious, professional-looking man, glares at him.

“Please return my card and glasses,” he requests, an edge to his voice. Wei Wuxian eyes him wearily. With the glasses out of the way, he supposes it should be safe to return the card. Carefully, he extends the card (a black card, the former broke-ass college student in him notes) out to the man, keeping the glasses hidden behind his back.

The man takes it. When it becomes clear Wei Wuxian is not planning to give him the glasses, he raises a brow.

“The glasses as well. Please. I will not ask again.”

"Gege," Wei Wuxian drawls. "You can do much better than these clunky things! Come on, let's go try on some other frames."

He walks towards the display but stops when the man doesn't follow.

"Those frames are fine,” he clips. “Now, return them so I can be checked out."

Wei Wuxian scoffs indignantly. "Gege, if I let you buy these, that's the only kind of checking out you'll be receiving for a while."

The man's impassive expression doesn't shift, but Wei Wuxian clocks a subtle eye twitch with no small amount of amusement. Pretty, mean, and fun to tease. Crazy how a man with so little taste can somehow still check all of his boxes.

"I am not buying glasses for appearance's sake, I am buying them to see," he bites out. "Those frames are sturdy and comfortable for the occasional times I will use them. I do not care how they look."

Wei Wuxian eyes him, taking in the crisp, light blue button-up and dark grey slacks. Both are well-fitted and entirely uncreased, despite it being late afternoon. When he shifts, his sleeve moves up just enough for Wei Wuxian to catch a glance of a very expensive-looking watch.

Wei Wuxian quirks a brow. The man clears his throat and quickly tugs the offending sleeve down.

"That outfit altogether must cost no less than $500 and you're trying to tell me you don't care about appearances?"

The man glares at him. "My clothes are professional," he says with a pointed look at Wei Wuxians own work clothes – a comfy red button-up and black ripped skinny jeans.

Wei Wuxian laughs loudly at the blatant jab. "That they are," he allows. "But, won't these glasses ruin the whole wealthy businessman-possibly-a-sugar-daddy vibe you got going on?"

The man's eyes narrow. The stony glare from before shifts into something more murderous.

"Ridiculous."

Wei Wuxian swallows down a delighted noise. Teasing him is turning out to be the most fun he's had all week.

He tries (and mostly fails, going off the guy’s unimpressed expression) to mold his face into something resembling concern and holds up the frames in question. The frames are a hideous shade of brown and bulky with round lenses.

"These look like they're made for a 13-year-old going through their 'I’m so different and quirky' phase because they saw it in a movie, not a handsome professional like yourself."

The man storms over, snatches the frame from his hand, and slams them back on the counter by Nie Huaisang

"I would like these," he snaps. Wei Wuxian groans loudly.

"Okay, gege -"

"Don't call me that."

"Okay, not-gege, let's make a deal. I'll pick out five frames and if you don't like any of them, you can buy those."

"I can buy these now," he points out with a sniff. Wei Wuxian gives him a look.

"I know you can, but please at least look at other options before you buy the most atrocious pair we sell."

The man straightens. "How do you know I didn't look at other pairs before?"

Wei Wuxian crosses his arms and leans back, unimpressed. "Did you?"

He looks away. Wei Wuxian glances at Nie Huaisang, who subtly shakes his head. Wei Wuxian smirks and looks back at the man.

"I didn't think so. I bet you just grabbed the first sturdy looking pair you saw and called it good, didn't you, not-gege?"

"There is nothing wrong with wanting to choose a sturdy pair," he answers, still not looking at him.

"Of course not," he soothes. "But, the technology is pretty great these days. We have several options that look flimsy, but are just as strong as the ones you picked.”

The man throws him a suspicious look, then turns to Nie Huaisang. "Is that true?"

Nie Huaisang nods frantically. "Yes, yes, Dr. Wei is correct."

He faces Wei Wuxian again, who lifts a hand as though to say 'see?'.

"How about it then, not-gege? Will you give me a chance to blow your mind?"

The man scoffs, but moves to sit at the fitting table. "You may present five pairs. If I do not like them, then I will buy the original ones."

Wei Wuxian grins brightly. "You're on," he agrees, then sets off to work.

He flits about their display cases, looking closely at each pair. When he finds one he likes, he has Nie Huaisang pull up their information sheet to check their ratings in strength, comfort, flexibility and long term fit. He puts back the ones that don't line up with the man's - Lan Wangji is his name, he has recently learned - preferences.

It takes several minutes, but eventually he ends up with five pairs he thinks will work. He lines them up on the table in front of Lan Wangji and carefully presents the ratings for each pair. Lan Wangji, suddenly picky despite his terrible first choice, immediately axes two of the pairs based on color and shape. Wei Wuxian allows it without comment, though he's admittedly irked he didn't even try them on.

"Not-gege," he interrupts when Lan Wangji begins to speak unfavorably of another pair without trying them. "You agreed to give me a proper chance. At least test them before throwing them out!"

Lan Wangji studies him for a second, then exhales in a way that Wei Wuxian assumes is a heavy sigh for him, though its barely heavier than a typical breath. Wordlessly, he slides on the pair he was about to reject and faces Wei Wuxian.

"Happy?"

Wei Wuxian fumbles for words. He is, at a minimum, very happy, edging closer to completely stunned.

Despite Lan Wangji not liking the color, it looks fantastic on him. Wei Wuxian knew it would – that's why he picked them – but it's a whole different feeling to see him actually wearing them.

The gold of the frames perfectly matches his skin tone and brings out the gorgeous golden flecks in his brown eyes. Wei Wuxian feels himself getting lost as he stares. It takes significant effort to tear his gaze away and check the overall appearance and fit of the glasses on Lan Wangji.

The thin, lightweight, square frames highlight his sharp cheekbones and his even sharper jawline. They do a lot to enhance both Lan Wangji's professional and naturally gorgeous appearance.

If he was a 10 before, he's at least a 100 now. "Dr. Wei?" Lan Wangji questions when the silence stretches.

"I - um," his voice comes out embarrassingly hoarse. He clears his throat and continues. "Yes. Those look very nice on you, Lan Wangji."

Lan Wangji blinks in surprise. Wei Wuxian kicks himself under the table. Could he be more obvious? It's not like him to get this flustered, especially with one of their patients of all people. Hot guy or not, Wei Wuxian needs to pull himself together before he lands himself a harassment suit.

"I think gold is definitely the way to go," he declares, tone thankfully level. He gives hands Lan Wangji a small mirror. "What do you think?"

Lan Wangji studies himself. With some reluctance, he nods. "Mn. Gold is good."

Wei Wuxian cries in victory. "Ah ha! I knew I could pick something you'd like!"

"It's not over yet, I still have not picked a pair," Lan Wangji snaps, but his heart isn't in it. When he looks away, Wei Wuxian notices the tips of his ears have turned an adorable shade of red. He bites back a smile, a pushes another pair towards him, also gold wire frames, but a touch shinier with boxy-round lenses.

"These are similar, why don't you try them next?"

Lan Wangji sets aside the previous pair (in a different spot than the rejects, Wei Wuxian notes gleefully) and puts on the offered one. For all his efforts at being professional, Wei Wuxian can't help the little gasp that escapes when he looks at him.

"What do you think?" He asks, as though he hasn't just changed Wei Wuxian's entire definition of beauty.

"I think you better get those and hope I never see you wearing them outside the clinic or else I'll have no choice but to ask you out to dinner."

The words slip out before he can stop them. He immediately wants to bang his head on the table. Lan Wangji's mouth opens and closes again, at a loss for words.

"I see," he lands on. The blush on the tip of his ears crawls onto his cheeks and he shifts awkwardly in his seat. Wei Wuxian bites down a groan. He's clearly made Lan Wangji uncomfortable. He isn't sure if the fluttering in his ears is his heart, tinnitus or the sound of his job flying out the door.

He opens his mouth to apologize, but Lan Wangji speaks first.

"I will get these, then." Wei Wuxian reels back. "You will? But you haven't even seen how they look!"

Lan Wangji picks up the mirror, quickly looks, then puts it back down. "I will get these," he repeats, then turns to where Nie Huaisang has been watching the whole ordeal from behind the desk. "I believe they need to be fitted now?"

"Yes, yes, of course," Nie Huaisang hops up and rushes over to shoo Wei Wuxian out of his seat.

Wei Wuxian watches in a confused daze as Nie Huaisang fits the glasses, discusses an add ons, like a blue light filter, and charges Lan Wangji for everything.

"They'll be here next week," Nie Huaisang finishes and hands back Lan Wangji’s card.

Lan Wangji nods and turns to Wei Wuxian. "Thank you for your assistance today," he says. "You have proven to be very helpful."

Wei Wuxian might be – definitely is – losing his mind, but he swears Lan Wangji checks him out before he walks out the door to the parking lot. Wei Wuxian balks at Nie Huaisang. "Did he just - ? What even happened?"

Nie Huaisang waves his hands wildly. "I don't know, Dr. Wei, I really don't know."

"Huh," Wei Wuxian says and rests his hands on his hips.

He thinks about the encounter the rest of the week. It drives him a little crazy, if he's being honest. Usually, he's able to brush off encounters with pretty people that are obviously not interested in him - but that's the thing.

Was Lan Wangji really not interested in him? It certainly seemed that way in the beginning, but then Wei Wuxian had shoved his foot in his mouth and Lan Wangji had... bought the glasses. The ones he said made him want to take Lan Wangji on a date. Then there was whatever look Lan Wangji gave him before leaving. He is almost certain Lan Wangji was checking him out – but was it like an 'I think you're sexy' or an 'I could take you in a fight' kind of check-out?

By the time Lan Wangji's glasses arrive, Wei Wuxian is barely holding himself back from violating several HIPPA laws to get Lan Wangji's number and demand he lay his intentions out clearly to spare his poor heart.

As luck would have it though, he's stuck in an appointment when Lan Wangji stops by and misses him entirely.

He groans and drops his head on the desk when Nie Huaisang tells him. Nie Huaisang pats him on the back.

"There, there, Wei-xiong,” he soothes. “He did ask about you, so maybe he'll come back?"

Wei Wuxian's head shoots up, narrowly missing bumping heads with him. "He did? What did he say?"

Nie Huaisang flutters a hand. "Oh I don't remember exactly."

Wei Wuxian glares at him. "Oh you don't? I thought you said he left less than 15 minutes ago. Maybe you should get your head checked out."

"Ah ah ah, Wei-xiong," Nie Huaisang waves a finger. "There's no need for all that, I have a perfectly respectable doctor right here who knows exactly what medicine I need to cure my bad memory." He wiggles his brows.

Wei Wuxian sighs.  He will absolutely regret this, but desperate times call for desperate measures. "Fine, I'll pay for drinks Saturday night."

Nie Huaisang raises a brow. Wei Wuxian rolls his eyes. "And next Saturday."

Nie Huaisang' face lights up. "Oh! I suddenly seem to recall now!"

Wei Wuxian throws him an unimpressed look. "It’s a miracle,” he deadpans. “What was it?"

"He asked if you’re here and what time you get off," Nie Huaisang answers with a grin.

Wei Wuxian's brows furrow. "What time I get off? Why would he want to know that?"

Nie Huaisang shrugs and lifts his arms in surrender. "Now that, I really don't know. I told him you work until closing, he thanked me, then took the glasses and left."

Wei Wuxian hums thoughtfully. He can think of a few reasons Lan Wangji might want to meet him after work, but then again, the man is too much a wild card for him to be certain about any of them.

Though confused, he also can't help but feel excited at the mystery. Lan Wangji may have seemed boring, but he sure is keeping him on his toes.

He checks the clock, crying internally when he sees there's still around 3 hours before he's off.

The door chimes, signaling the arrival of his next patient. With one last longing sigh, he heads off to prep the exam room while Nie Huaisang checks them in.

It's a relatively busy day, thankfully. All his patients pepper him with obscure questions that require his full attention to properly answer. In what feels like no time, he's packing up his things and rushing out the door, excited to see what's waiting for him.

Though he expected it, he's still shocked to see Lan Wangji, standing there, wearing his glasses and looking even more incredible than Wei Wuxian remembers - which should be impossible, but somehow he's managed it.

He stops just a couple feet away, heart pounding. The door falls shut with a soft thud behind him. The world is silent as they stare at one another.

Wei Wuxian reaches for something to say, but words evade him. Thankfully, Lan Wangji has it covered.

“Oh no,” he intones. “You saw me wearing these glasses outside the clinic.”

Wei Wuxian blinks at him. The ADHD squirrels in his brain scramble for an explanation of what the hell Lan Wangji is talking about. Finally, one finds the answer. Wei Wuxian chortles.

"I guess I have no choice but to take you to dinner then, huh?" Lan Wangji nods remorsefully and steps closer. "Unfortunately, it seems there is no other option."

Wei Wuxian meets him halfway, not stopping until their toes are scant inches apart and he can see every fleck of gold in those enchanting eyes.

"Well, I did warn you," he reminds with a grin. Lan Wangji grabs his hand and laces their fingers together.

"Mn. I was careless."

Wei Wuxian squeezes his hand. "I don't mind. After all, you're the one being punished here."

Lan Wangji smiles softly. "Preferably with vegan food."

Wei Wuxian laughs and tugs him in the direction of his car.

"Vegan food it is, gorgeous."

The end!

They go on an excellent date at a trendy vegan restaurant and Lan Wangji can actually read the menu bc of his new glasses 🥰

I hope you all enjoyed reading! 💗

Stray AU | An innocent set of Glasses P3

Mirabel’s breath became baited but the silence that rang was uncomfortable following Antonio’s comment and the knock went unanswered because soon enough, those eyes turned to her.

“Glasses?” Her mother spoke, her tired eyes sharp and her lips pursed but there was a paleness that settled in her cheeks. “Mirabel…”

Her eyes remained down before she reached into her bag.

“Antonio, go answer the door.” Felix requested softly, more to no doubt to get him away from the table. Antonio hopped from his seat, Parce on his heel as they left before Mirabel’s fingers wrap around the wrapped frames and hesitantly placed them down in front of her mother.

Julieta stared down but there was no mistake of the tremble as she unwrapped the glasses, a sharp sound leaving her lips as the frames were once again exposed to the world; the damage reflecting in the dining room lights.

“Mirabel, where did you find these?” Abuela asked and for once in her entire life, Abuela’s tone was soft and faint, her eyes looked wide and she looked…startled by this news like the rest of the family.

“My walk yesterday…they were under some tree roots and dirt.” Mirabel spoke. “I went to the opticians who checked them over. They are Papi’s.”

“No.” Pepa denied, shaking her head “No. He left Encanto. He wouldn’t leave anything behind.” Her cloud thundered but Mirabel just looked to her sadly. Felix’s hand came to Pepa’s back in soft rubs but there was no mistake of quiet fear in his face; like he knew what that meant if her father was truly dead.

Julieta swallowed thickly, her thumb tracing over the crack down the lens

“Abuela, someone’s here to see you!” Antonio’s voice called. Luisa was the first to move and investigate.

“Abuelita?” Luisa’s voice echoed that turned all their heads towards the door where Mirabel watched Señora Rojas alone appeared. In her arms she was carrying a box that was covered with a dark sheet and she looked…exhausted

“Abuelita?” Isabela echoed, “Why’s she here?”

“I spoke to them first.” Mirabel piped up nervously, “I didn’t know who they were. She…encouraged me to show them to you, Mama.” Nodding to the glasses.

Julieta didn’t give much acknowledgement really which was a worry.

“You didn’t tell them sooner?” Señora Rojas asked, eyes lingering on her before Mirabel shook her head. “I got…side tracked.”

“Hm.” Her lips pursed but moved on swiftly and with little care, placed the box she had onto the table, keeping her hand above as she turned her attention to Abuela.

“Mirabel showed us where she found Agustín’s glasses, myself, my husband and my daughter went looking for more proof.”

“Proof?” Abuela asked, tightly. “Of what?”

“Agustín died, Alma.” Señora Rojas spoke. “They both did.”

A clap of thunder echoed before Pepa was on her feet, her cloud ripping with light. “No!”

“Pepa..” Felix’s hand came to her again but she shook of his attempts.

“No. Agustín took our child and left. She’s fine!”

Señora gave her a sad, knowing look before she reached in and for a horrible second, Mirabel thought she might bring out a bone…or a small skull. But what she took out was delicate and small and held it out.

Inside her hand was the broken dolls head, cracked and damaged.

Pepa shook her head, her eyes filling with tears even as it began to drizzle.

“No…. no that doesn’t prove anything! She could have dropped it!”

Mirabel felt a little sick as she saw the state of the doll. No blood and that was probably for the best but…this was a fact.

“Tia….. I’m so sorry.” Mirabel knew this would be the breaking point. But there couldn’t be any more denials now. Her heart thumped in her chest as she reached into her bag and pulled out the vision, tilting it both ways to see both images.

“Dios Mios…” Abuela gasped like she had been physically winded, being the one to reach for it. “This… this…isn’t right.”

“What, Alma?” Señora Rojas spoke, her face bitter with the confirmation of the vision, “him dying wasn’t part of your plan to get rid of him?”

“Mama?” Julieta’s head turned, her breath shaking but as much as the loss looked like it had wiped all the colour from her face, her teary eyes were sharp and wide. Her hands gripping the table top surface.

Mirabel spared a glance to her family. Isabela looked pale and shocked, but surpassingly she and Camilo looked to be holding hands tightly, Camilo himself looked to be on the verge and barely keeping it together. Luisa seemed to move, pushing for Isabela and Camilo and led them away, taking Antonio with them but Mirabel didn’t move. Camilo’s eyes eyes remained on the doll remains Señora Rojas’s hands as they left.

She could only imagine that that was the rest of the things recovered that belonged to her father and Dolores’s. Mirabel wanted to go and see; what he would have been taking with him. What survived so long and elements of the man who never even knew she existed…

“I’d….never—“ Abuela started, generally shocked and for a moment, she looked horrified before it was locked behind a mask. “I thought….he found a place downtown…”

“What? Ignoring the whole Dolores factor here, why do you think he’d risk staying in Encanto?” Rojas scoffed. “You really think your daughter would just simply just accept he’s not living in Casita anymore? That he’d simply…abandon his wife and children…and live in seclusion? He was forced out…and there’s only one person here that had the motivation and authority to do so.” Señora Rojas spoke, her gaze directly to Abuela.

Abuela’s fingers remained on the vision, barely taking calm breaths as she set it down with a nauious look. “I didn’t know where he had gone.” She said. “I thought he was walking into town.”

“You saw him leave?” Julieta spoke, her eyes widening. “You know when he left…you saw him leave alone and yet you happily assumed he had taken Dolores.”

“Julieta… I just it’s not simple.” Abuela's eyes closed as she sucked in a heavy breath, her head bowing a fraction, "Agustín was never meant to die, Hija. He was only to leave the family"

Julieta stared at her mother, agape and horrified as the truth was laid bare.

Mirabel was first to make the connections, to how that could have sounded. "But you never thought to wonder how he understood that statement. He thought you meant Encanto!"

"And Dolores heard everything! She must have tried to get him back!" Pepa seethed, her cloud thundering in rage but her eyes welled in grief, "You got her killed too, Mama!"

Abuela had the decency to look ashamed as her eyes turned to the broken doll pieces before her shoulder’s sunk.

Pepa’s clouds raged as the rain set in, even as Felix pulled his grieving wife into his side, her hands gripping at his shirt as she both cried and rained onto him.

“What did you do?” Julieta asked and for the first time in ever, Mirabel realised how cold her voice had gotten, despite the tears in her eyes, there was cold fury etched into her mother’s face. “What could you have possibly done to scare him away?”

“Julieta…”

“No, unless you’re answer the question, don’t.” Julieta hissed, “Because…all our lives you said that this whole miracle and magic was the result of your lost husband. You know what that loss is like…and you let me endure the whole thing with a lie on top so…. What did you say to my husband to tear our family apart?”

Abuela’s breath was shallow as she took a breath. “I…it was just a simple threat.”

“You blackmailed him with Isabela.” Señora Rojas broke with an exasperated sigh and from the box, she pulled out a wad of paper stuffed in a jar. “He wrote letters in the event of his death. Protected from the elements inside a jar he had on him. He was prepared…in case he didn’t make it.”

“What?” Isabela frowned in confusion, “Me?” She looked to both her Abuela and Abuelita. “How was I a part of this? I was six years old."

All around, no one was paying too much attention as cracks began to show themselves and seep down the walls of Casita.

“You looked nothing like him.” Señora Rojas spoke as Abuela looked like a wish out of water; not knowing where to start, “A simple insinuation but… one that carries impact to a gossiping village like ours.”

Mirabel frowned, not sure what that meant but her mother gasped in outrage and a look of anger washed over her Tia’s devastated face as she seemed to understand what was implied.

“You were willing to damage…my reputation and Isabela’s….just to make a point?! Because you didn’t approve of having him as my husband?! After two children, that wasn’t enough.”

“I wouldn’t have followed through.” Abuela spoke, her voice oddly quietly. “I…just wanted to scare him away. I couldn’t…have actually done it.”

“But it worked.” Señora Rojas interjected, “You hit the right buttons because you knew Agustín wouldn’t have wanted that for his daughter and wife. He was an honourable man…. He left to protect them from you.”

“He wasn’t supposed to leave Encanto.” Abuela reasoned back firmly. “I thought he’d find a place down town and live a low life. That’s all I wanted.”

“That’s not an excuse for how you did what you did, Alma. What you did cost not only my son’s life, but the life of your granddaughter. You let the lies and assumptions grow and didn’t try and change them. There’s no justifying your actions.” Señora Rojas thundered. “None of his children even knew his full name…” her anger dropped away on the last name to sadness.

“She was six years old…” Pepa’s voice cracked, reaching forwards to take the dolls head and cradled it to her chest “she should…she should have woken us. Dios mios…even if…she survived that thing… we didn’t look that far into the woods…”

“Bruno knew.” Julieta sucked in a heavy breath, “he knew and…” she didn’t even get to finish as quite abruptly, a crack suddenly rippled across the tiled floor of casita’s dining room floor and out towards the courtyard but it didn’t stop and fade. This alone startling Señora Rojas mostly who back away picking up the box again with a protective edge.

Mirabel felt oddly detached as the house began to shake. The whole reveal was more impactful than the world around them… and frankly, it felt like overdue karma now hitting the family. Mirabel knew there was nothing she could do to stop it. The damage was done and now they were all paying for it.

She didn’t really notice as Casita’s tiles rippled, pulling them away towards the nearest door and window and quite promptly they were all flung from their home like rag dolls…

Her knee took the brunt and it stung but her attention as to their house as the cracks began to destabilise it; the cracks had spread from Casita itself down the street and to her surprise the mounting split with a quick gluteal groan.

The light of magic in the doors turned off, one by one, the weather dissipated away despite Tia Pepa’s bawling. Animals from Antonio’s room fleeing as the Casita groaned as the tower began to crack. But self-preservation kicked in enough before she dragged both her mother and Abuela up from the grassy floor and called for them to move; to be out of range of the collapse.

Then Casita collapsed with a heavy thunk into a mass of dust and rubble.

Seeing Clearly: The Evolution And Impact Of Contact Lenses

Contact lenses have revolutionized the way millions of people see the world, offering a convenient and versatile alternative to traditional eyeglasses. From their humble beginnings to the cutting-edge technologies of today, they have continually evolved, providing wearers with enhanced comfort, clarity, and freedom.

A Brief History:

The concept of contact lenses dates back centuries, with some of the earliest recorded attempts at vision correction involving crude glass discs placed directly on the eye. However, it wasn’t until the late 19th and early 20th centuries that significant advancements were made in the development of modern medical devices.

In 1887, German glassblower F.A. Muller produced the first scleral lenses, large glass shells that covered the entire eye to correct vision. These early lenses were cumbersome and uncomfortable, but they laid the foundation for further innovation in the field.

One of the most significant breakthroughs came in 1949 when California optician Kevin Tuohy developed the first corneal contact lens made from a lightweight plastic material called polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). This material was more comfortable to wear than glass and allowed for greater oxygen permeability, reducing the risk of eye irritation and infection.

Advancements in Material Science:

Since Tuohy’s pioneering work, contact lens technology has continued to advance rapidly, driven by innovations in material science and manufacturing techniques. Today, they are made from a variety of materials, each offering unique benefits in terms of comfort, breathability, and vision correction.

Soft lenses, introduced in the 1970s, revolutionized the industry by providing a more comfortable alternative to rigid gas-permeable lenses. These lenses are made from hydrogels or silicone hydrogels, which contain water and allow oxygen to pass through to the cornea, keeping the eyes moist and healthy.

In recent years, silicone hydrogel lenses have emerged as the gold standard in contact lens technology, offering superior oxygen permeability and comfort compared to traditional hydrogel lenses. These lenses are highly breathable, making them ideal for extended wear and overnight use.

Customization and Precision:

Another major advancement in contact lens technology is the ability to customize lenses to fit the unique curvature and prescription needs of each individual’s eyes. This level of customization is made possible through computer-aided design and manufacturing techniques, which allow for precise control over lens parameters such as base curve, diameter, and power.

Custom lenses offer several advantages over off-the-shelf lenses, including improved comfort, vision quality, and overall satisfaction. By tailoring the fit and design of the lens to the specific needs of the wearer, custom lenses can provide a more personalized and optimized vision correction solution.

Specialized Lenses for Unique Needs:

In addition to standard corrective lenses, there are specialized lenses available to address a wide range of vision and eye health issues. For example, toric lenses are designed to correct astigmatism, a common refractive error caused by irregularly shaped corneas. Multifocal lenses offer simultaneous correction for presbyopia, a condition that affects near vision as we age.

Furthermore, specialty lenses such as scleral lenses and hybrid lenses are used to treat more complex vision problems, including keratoconus, irregular corneas, and post-surgical complications. These lenses provide enhanced comfort and visual acuity for patients with challenging eye conditions, allowing them to enjoy improved quality of life and independence.

The Future of Contact Lenses:

Looking ahead, their future holds exciting possibilities for continued innovation and advancement. Researchers are exploring new materials, coatings, and manufacturing techniques to further improve the comfort, breathability, and optical performance of lenses.

One area of focus is the development of smart contact lenses that integrate electronic sensors and microelectronics to monitor health metrics such as intraocular pressure, glucose levels, and tear composition. These wearable devices have the potential to revolutionize the diagnosis and management of ocular diseases such as glaucoma and diabetes-related eye conditions.

Furthermore, advancements in 3D printing technology are enabling the rapid prototyping and production of custom lenses with unprecedented precision and accuracy. This technology holds promise for streamlining the lens fitting process and reducing lead times for patients in need of specialized vision correction.

Addressing Environmental Concerns:

As contact lens usage continues to rise globally, there is growing concern about the environmental impact of discarded lenses and packaging materials. Traditional soft lenses are typically disposed of in household waste, where they contribute to plastic pollution in landfills and waterways.

To mitigate these environmental concerns, manufacturers are exploring eco-friendly materials and recycling programs for lenses and packaging. Some companies have introduced biodegradable contact lenses made from plant-based materials, while others offer recycling initiatives that allow users to return used lenses and packaging for proper disposal and recycling.

Furthermore, advancements in lens design and production techniques aim to minimize material waste and energy consumption throughout the manufacturing process. By adopting sustainable practices and promoting responsible disposal habits among consumers, the contact lens industry is working to reduce its environmental footprint and protect the planet for future generations.

Enhancing Comfort and Convenience:

In addition to improving vision correction, contact lens manufacturers are continuously striving to enhance wearer comfort and convenience. One area of focus is the development of moisture-retaining materials and surface coatings that help prevent dryness and irritation, particularly during extended wear.

Advancements in lens design, such as thinner profiles and smoother edges, aim to minimize friction and discomfort, ensuring a comfortable wearing experience throughout the day. Additionally, innovations in packaging and storage solutions, such as preservative-free saline solutions and hygienic contact lens cases, contribute to maintaining lens integrity and freshness.

Moreover, the rise of daily disposable contact lenses has transformed the way many people approach vision correction, offering the ultimate in convenience and hygiene. With daily disposables, wearers enjoy the benefits of fresh, sterile lenses every day without the need for cleaning and storage, making them an ideal choice for busy lifestyles and occasional wear.

Expanding Access to Vision Care:

Contact lenses play a crucial role in providing vision correction for individuals with diverse needs and lifestyles, including those who are unable to wear traditional eyeglasses due to factors such as occupation, sports, or personal preference. By offering a wide range of lens options and customization capabilities, contact lens providers aim to ensure that everyone has access to quality vision care.

Furthermore, initiatives aimed at increasing affordability and accessibility to lenses, such as subsidized programs and telemedicine consultations, help break down barriers to care for underserved communities. Remote monitoring technologies and virtual fitting services also enable patients to receive personalized vision correction solutions from the comfort of their own homes, reducing the need for in-person appointments and travel.

Conclusion:

Contact lenses have come a long way since their inception, evolving from bulky glass shells to sophisticated vision correction devices tailored to individual needs. With ongoing advancements in material science, manufacturing technology, and design innovation, contact lenses continue to offer unparalleled comfort, clarity, and convenience for millions of wearers worldwide. As we look to the future, the possibilities for contact lens technology are virtually limitless, promising even greater improvements in vision correction, eye health, and overall quality of life. Whether it’s custom-designed lenses for optimal comfort and precision or smart lenses that monitor our health in real-time, the future of contact lenses is undoubtedly bright, bringing into focus a world of possibilities for clearer vision and healthier eyes.

Avoid placing your glasses face down on hard surfaces, as this can scratch the lenses or bend the frames. At Eyemira Opticals, we offer expert frame adjustments to ensure a comfortable fit and proper alignment.

Avoid Exposure to Harsh Chemicals: Keep your eyewear away from harsh chemicals such as household cleaners, hair products, and perfume. These substances can damage the lenses, frames, and coatings, compromising their integrity and clarity. If your glasses come into contact with any chemicals, rinse them immediately with lukewarm water and dry them gently with a clean cloth.

A Guide to Choosing the Perfect Eyewear for Your Face Shape

Eyewear is more than just a vision correction tool; it's a powerful accessory that can elevate your entire look. But with so many styles and shapes available, choosing the right pair can feel overwhelming. The key lies in understanding your face shape and how different frames can complement or contrast it. This guide will help you navigate the world of eyewear and find the perfect pair that accentuates your natural beauty.

Identifying Your Face Shape:

The first step to choosing the right eyewear is identifying your face shape. Here are the most common shapes and their key features:

Oval: This is considered the ideal face shape, characterized by balanced proportions with a slightly wider forehead than jawline.

Round: This face shape features soft curves with a similar width and length.

Square: Strong jawlines and a broad forehead define this face shape, with an angular appearance.

Heart: A heart-shaped face has a wider forehead that tapers down to a narrow chin.

Oblong: This face shape is longer than it is wide, with a straight jawline and high forehead.

Diamond: This is a rare face shape characterized by high cheekbones, a narrow forehead, and a pointed chin.

Choosing Frames for Your Face Shape:

Once you know your face shape, you can choose frames that work best with it. Here are some general guidelines:

Oval Face:

You have the most flexibility due to your balanced proportions.

Experiment with various styles like cat-eye, aviator, rectangle, and wayfarer.

Avoid overly large or small frames.

Round Face:

Balance your roundness with angular frames like square, rectangle, and cat-eye.

Avoid round or overly small frames that emphasize your roundness.

Opt for bolder styles to add definition.

Square Face:

Soften your sharp angles with curved or round frames like aviator, oval, and cat-eye.

Avoid square or rectangular frames that mimic your face shape.

Choose frames that are wider than your cheekbones.

Heart Face:

Draw attention to your lower half with bold or bottom-heavy frames like cat-eye, round, and oval.

Avoid narrow or top-heavy frames that emphasize your forehead.

Opt for frames with wider bottom rims for balance.

Oblong Face:

Shorten the appearance of your face with horizontal frames like rectangle, wayfarer, and cat-eye.

Avoid frames with too much vertical emphasis like oval or round.

Choose frames with wider bridges to balance your face.

Diamond Face:

Highlight your cheekbones with cat-eye, oval, or aviator frames.

Avoid geometric shapes like square or rectangle that accentuate your angles.

Choose frames with a wider top to balance your narrow forehead.

Additional Tips:

Material: Consider the material of the frames. Acetate is lightweight and versatile, while metal frames are strong and durable.

Color: Choose a color that complements your skin tone and outfit. Bold colors can make a statement, while neutral tones offer a classic look.

Personal style: Don't be afraid to experiment with different styles and trends. Choose frames that reflect your personality and make you feel confident.

Professional help: Don't hesitate to seek assistance from an optician or stylist. They can help you identify your face shape and recommend the perfect frames for you.

Beyond the Basics:

While these are general guidelines, it's important to remember that individual preferences and facial features also play a role. Here are some additional factors to consider:

Eye size: If you have large eyes, avoid overly small or narrow frames. For smaller eyes, choose frames with a wider opening.

Brow bone: If you have prominent brow bones, consider frames with a higher bridge to avoid them resting on your brow.

Eyelashes: If you have long eyelashes, make sure the frames don't touch them or interfere with their movement.

Facial features: Consider your other facial features like your nose and cheekbones when choosing frames.
