If there was ever an excuse to wear glasses as a statement without a prescription, now’s the time. With countless hours spent staring into the digital world that has become an integral part of our daily lives—whether that's a computer at work, a tablet at home, or a phone at frankly any time of day (Instagram calling!)—having our eyes glued to our screens can lead to bad cases of tech neck and strained eyes. Even if Apple has introduced tools that monitor and track screen time, spending most of our time in front of screens has become inevitable for both work and study.
Feeling the effects? As summer vacations come to an end and the back to school period swiftly approaches, there’s no better time to pick up a new pair of opticals or blue light blocking glasses, even if you have 20/20 vision. Eyewear brands like Warby Parker offer blue light filtering lenses to their selection of prescription readers for an additional $50, and plenty of other optical brands are following in their footsteps. Having doubts? You can give simple blue light blockers a try with frames from The Book Club for as little as $40.
Whether you’re in the market to change up your look, channel your inner chic librarian, or just want help protecting those eyes, there are glasses for every personality and face shape. Go bold in red cat eyes from Burberry, or opt for classic and smart in a pair from the original Lower East Side label, Moscot. From light wire frames to chunky acetates—and everything in-between—shop 15 chic opticals worth geeking out over this fall. Who knows: they may even make you look and feel smarter, too.
