- Ray-Ban Meta
Smart glasses have come a long way from being a futuristic concept to something genuinely useful and wearable in everyday life. The collaboration between Ray-Ban and Meta has produced a stylish, practical piece of technology that blends iconic design with smart functionality—and crucially, it’s not just for tech enthusiasts (although they will definitely love them!). Ray-Ban Meta Sklyer in Chalky Grey What Are Ray-Ban Meta Glasses? Think classic Ray-Ban frames, but with a clever twist. These glasses come equipped with built-in cameras, speakers, and voice control, allowing you to capture moments, listen to audio, and interact with the world hands-free. You can: Take photos and videos instantly Listen to music or take calls discreetly Use voice commands for everyday tasks Livestream directly to social platforms All without reaching for your phone. Above are a few of the available styles Prescription lenses? No Problem. If you love the idea of smart glasses but rely on prescription lenses, you don’t have to miss out. We can fit Ray-Ban Meta frames with lenses tailored to your exact prescription. So rather than choosing between seeing clearly and seeing smartly, you get both — no compromises. If you like, we can fit your Ray-Ban Meta frames with: Clear lenses Photochromic lenses (which go dark in the sun) Sunglass lenses For all three of the above we can do single vision, occupational lenses, varifocals. In essence we can do pretty much any type of lenses you can think of. If you like, we can even do Ray-Ban Authentic lenses so your prescription lenses still have that iconic Ray-Ban logo on them. A Game-Changer for Visual Loss For individuals with visual loss, everyday tasks can sometimes feel just that bit more challenging. Ray-Ban Meta glasses can help bridge that gap in subtle but powerful ways: 1. Capturing and Reviewing the World The built-in camera allows wearers to take quick photos of things they may want to look at more closely later — from signs and menus to faces and environments. 2. Hands-Free Assistance Voice activation means you can interact with your surroundings without needing to locate or handle a separate device — ideal for those who rely on simplicity and ease. 3. Audio Support The open-ear speakers provide navigation prompts, calls, or information without blocking out environmental sound — crucial for maintaining awareness and safety. 4. Staying Connected Whether it’s making a quick call or sharing a moment with family, these glasses make communication more immediate and less effortful. Here are a few videos showing the astonishing and life-changing power of Ray-Ban Meta for people with visual loss: Be My Eyes Be My Eyes - Call A Volunteer How I Use My Ray-Ban Meta If you know someone with visual loss who you think could benefit from Ray-Ban Meta but you don't know if they could handle the technology, then fear not. Once the glasses are set up and paired with the wearer's phone, there's no more tech knowledge needed. Just turn them on, pop them on the nose, and that's it. Style Still Matters Let’s not ignore the obvious: they still look like Ray-Bans. No bulky tech look. No “wearable gadget” look. Just frames that are timelessly stylish but also happen to be rather clever. After all, feeling confident in the look of what you wear matters just as much as the functionality. Why Try Them at EDGE Eyewear? Firstly, price. Online you can buy them via Ray-Ban or Meta. We charge the same prices that they do. The big advantage is you actually get to try them out first to make sure they fit and make sure they look great. As well as that, you have somewhere to bring them to for help in the unlikely event of any problems. Also, we don’t just hand you a pair and wish you luck. At EDGE Eyewear, we: Guide you through the different frame options Ensure you get the correct prescription lenses, if needed Help you understand and set up the technology Talk through whether they’re right for your lifestyle or visual needs It’s about making sure you get the best out of these glasses in terms of the vision and the technology. Final Thoughts Ray-Ban Meta glasses aren’t just a novelty — they’re a glimpse into a more connected, accessible way of living. They can be bought and worn straight off the shelf, but if needed we can help you combine them with tailored prescription lenses. For those with visual loss, they offer something even more valuable: a little extra independence, a little more confidence, and a new way to engage with the world. And that’s something worth seeing. And for a bit of fun, see what Chris, Chris, and Kris got up to with theirs:

- Night Lenses/Ortho K Lenses
Imagine a world where you can experience clear vision without the hassle of wearing glasses or traditional contact lenses during the day. A world where you simply wear specially designed lenses while you sleep, and wake up with perfect vision the next day. Say hello to the innovative world of Night Lenses (also known as ortho k, ortho-k, or Orthokeratology)! What Are Night Lenses? Night Lenses have actually been around for many years. It is a revolutionary non-surgical approach that corrects vision overnight. These specialised lenses gently and painlessly reshape the cornea while you sleep. Simply take out the lenses and go about your day without the hassle of daytime lenses, glasses, or laser procedures. What Prescriptions Do Night Lenses Work For? Night Lenses are for correction of short-sightedness with or without astigmatism. Who Can Wear Night Lenses? Really, most short-sighted patients. The youngest we have fitted is 7-years old. The oldest is in their 50s, but there's no upper limit to age. Modern ortho-k lenses can correct as much as -10.00D of short-sightedness with up to -3.50D of astigmatism. What If I've Had Laser Surgery? Night Lenses can be used by patients who have had laser refractive surgery, up to around -2.00D of short-sightedness. Why Choose Night Lenses? Oh, for so many reasons. No more glasses or daytime lenses. No need for laser surgery. Ease of use. Whether it’s being able to see underwater, play sports without rain-splattered specs, or the fear of losing your lens, working without dry eyes from daytime contact lenses - all of these problems are a thing of the past with Night Lenses. Sick of how much extra hassle and expense is involved with getting prescription sunglasses? That will be a thing of the past. Buy your sunglasses straight off the shelf! There's also the big one of controlling your child’s myopia (see below). Myopia Management Myopia is the scientific term for short-sightedness. Wearing Night Lenses has been scientifically proven to slow down myopic progression. There is a separate blog post all about this. It is called Myopia, And Its Management . I have fitted many children with Night Lenses with the intent of slowing down their prescriptions. The results are excellent! I fitted my friend's daughter when she was 8 years old. She's now about to turn 11 and her prescription is the same as it was when she was 8. If she'd been wearing traditional glasses or contact lenses this almost certainly would not be the case, her prescription would likely have increased significantly in that time. . My Personal Experience With Night Lenses? My prescription is not suitable for ortho-k, I am presbyopic. However, I fitted my wife with these lenses over 15-years ago and she absolutely loves them. She hasn't worn glasses once for that whole time. She loves the freedom to not have to worry about removing her soft contact lenses to shower, and they make such a huge difference on holiday. You do not want to be getting into any swimming pool with soft contact lenses on your eyes, and wearing glasses in the pool is a pain. No problem any more. Once she's awake and her lenses have been removed, to all intents and purposes, she has the same vision as a non-glasses wearer. How Much Do Night Lenses Cost? The fitting of the lenses has no upfront cost. The lenses themselves, all of the appointments needed to fit them, all of your ongoing check-ups and eye examinations, and any replacement lenses needed due to loss or damage are all covered by a monthly direct debit payment. Almost all of our ortho-k patients wear Scotlens lenses. The cost of these is £44 if the lenses are changed every 12-months, and £50 if they are changed every 6-months. Most people choose the latter option as they feel the small amount extra per month is worth it to have new lenses twice as often . For very high prescriptions a different, more expensive, lens is needed. What if I decide Night Lenses aren't for me after all? To be honest this rarely ever happens, but if it does it is not a problem. With all of the ortho-k direct debit schemes the minimum period that a patient needs to be on them is just one month. If the patient, for any reason, is not keen on the lenses then the lenses can be sent back to the laboratory. The direct debit covering the ortho-k lenses will then be stopped. Why are Night Lenses not common in the UK? Apparently the question "why is ortho-k not popular?" is Googled quite often. This is only my opinion, but I think it is because optics in the UK is dominated by high street multiples. They do not do Night Lenses. Why not? You'd have to ask them. Whatever the reason, they're the only ones with the reach and the money to run national advertising. As a small independent opticians we certainly can't do that. I can say for a fact though that we are fitting more and more of these lenses, but mostly through word of mouth. Once a patient is wearing these incredible lenses they will definitely be telling their friends, family, neighbours, and anyone who'll listen, all about them! It's worth noting that in other parts of the world, especially in south east Asia, Night Lenses are much more commonplace. People from all over the globe come to the UK and are confused when they discover how uncommon Night Lenses are here. Now, close your eyes, dream of clear vision, and let Night Lenses work their magic while you sleep!
- Thinnest Lenses for High Prescriptions
Are your glasses lenses thick? Would you prefer it if they weren't? Of course you would! They don't look great, they're heavy, they're uncomfortable. Do you know what you need to do? Whether you are long-sighted or short-sighted, you need to come and see us at EDGE Eyewear. We can do things that most opticians can't. Award Winning Technology In September/October 2022 Silmo happened in Paris. It’s been running for over 50-years and is the world’s number 1 optical show. Part of the show is the highly prestigious Silmo d’Or (Golden for those whose school French is as rusty as mine) Awards. Winning one of these awards is a very big deal. Here at EDGE, we were delighted (although not surprised) to see that Shamir’s Metaform lenses won the much coveted ‘Vision’ award. It came as no surprise to EDGE because these lenses are incredible. They are exclusive to Shamir and only certain opticians can supply them. Whether you wear distance glasses, reading glasses, occupational lenses, or varifocals, you need them in your life. And if you have a high minus prescription (in other words, are very short-sighted/your lenses are thick at the edges) you definitely need them in your life. Because these lenses are up to 18 times stronger than a standard lens, they can be made up to 40% thinner and also 40% lighter. You’ve probably had your lenses thinned down by other opticians in the past? These lenses are called high index lenses, and generally speaking the higher the index the thinner the lenses. This is still true, but with Metaform any index of those high index lenses can be made even thinner . Ground Breaking Technology If you happen to be very long-sighted (your lenses are thick in the middle) then have no fear! Here at EDGE we've got you covered too. With lenses for long-sighted people the thickness of the lenses comes down to the index of the lens material. As mentioned above most opticians can supply lenses up to 1.74 index. For long-sighted lenses the Metaform technology won't help, but going to a higher index will. EDGE can go to 1.76 ! We use lenses from Japanese company Tokai. They use this higher index material plus cutting edge lens designs to give you the thinnest possible plastic lenses on the planet. Don't Forget The Frame Choice Choosing the right frame is just as important as choosing the right lenses. With over 75 years experience between Graham, Joan, and Danielle we can certainly help you there. And even if we can't find a frame that's just right for your prescription, we'll make one that is! We use a range of frames called iGreen. They are fully customizable. So, we can specially select the exact size and shape of frame that will give the best results. Once that's done then there are hundreds of colours and patterns to choose from. They can be matt or shiny. They can have nose pads or not have nose pads. If you would like, they can even have your name embossed onto them. Sounds pricey? Maybe not as pricey as you think! They are £265 (or £238.50 if you are on an Eyecare Plan). Not bad for a one of a kind, custom made frame! We have also added a range of frames from the Eyewear Café that are ideal for higher prescriptions - both long-sighted and short-sighted. An even more pocket friendly way we can help to make your glasses look fabulous. The Results The proof of the pudding... These lenses are -13.75 . Can you see how much smaller the bottle is through the lens than above the lens? Can you also see how thin the lenses look?! Here's another high minus job we've recently done. -10.25 in the right eye and -11.75 in the left eye. This pair particularly shows the importance of choosing the correct frame. The patient's previous glasses were so much thicker than this, especially in the left eye. Challenge Us So, if you’ve always wished your lenses could be thinner, or know someone who has, then EDGE is the place to come. We can do things that the high street places simply can’t do. Come and test us. We love a challenge!
- Graham's work at The University of Manchester
I have been teaching at The University Of Manchester for over 10 years. I love being able to share my years of experience and knowledge. I also love that I can teach the next generations of optometrists how things are supposed to be done. I feel that this benefits both me and my patients. Graham with some of his students at the 2022 Eyeball Graham all dolled up ready for 2026's Eyeball Benefits to me Life as an optometrist can get a bit samey. I am in the fortunate position that I don't work for one of the big multiples where (and I talk from experience here) you are expected to be an eye test machine. It's a numbers game. How many patients can you get in and out of the testing room in as short a time as possible? That's not good for the optometrist, and it most certainly isn't good for the patient! At EDGE we take a different approach. Our eye examinations are 45 minutes, more than double what you will often get at a multiple. That means we can look after you properly, talk things through in detail, and make sure neither the optom or the patient feel rushed. Even with that said, it's a lovely thing that I can take time out from the consulting room and do something completely different. It's great to give myself the challenge of taking my many years of experience to help the students pass their exams, but also to let them know what's to come once the exams are all done and they've got real patients to see in the real world. Benefits to my patients There are a few ways that I think my patients benefit from the time I spend teaching. Firstly it keeps all of my testing techniques honed. I know from the times when I was qualified, but before I was teaching, that it is easy to let bad habits creep in for the sake of saving time. I'd be willing to bet that there a lot of qualified and experienced optometrists who might struggle to pass some of the exams I now invigilate, due to bad habits and cut corners. Secondly, I need to be able to explain things in such a way that an inexperienced student can easily understand. That skill helps me to explain my findings and results to patients too. After an eye examination with me you'll almost certainly have learned something you didn't know before. Thirdly, contact lenses. This is one of the subjects I specialise in, and that I've been teaching for the longest time. Trust me when I say that some optometrists do not like contact lenses as a subject, and therefore often aren't in a position to recommend the best contact lenses to a patient. I've lost count of the number of patients I've seen over the years who aren't wearing the best lenses for them. It's a lovely feeling when you give those patients new lenses and watch their faces light up when they realise how much better their vision is and/or lenses feel. I've been working at the university for so long now that I actually have input into how the subjects are taught, which is particularly flattering and satisfying. Book yourself in to see me and you too can benefit from the unique perspective that both teaching and working in practice give me. Another shot from the Eyeball 2022. I occasionally scrub up well. 2026's Eyeball - trying (and failing) to recreate the photo above.
- Let's Talk About Recycling
Here at EDGE we'd like to do what we can to look after our planet. We're already doing what we can to bring our patients greener and more sustainable options when it comes to glasses and sunglasses. You can read about that here . We'd still like to do more, so we're trying to set ourselves up as a recycling centre. Here's what you can recycle so far. 2. Contact Lenses They say you can’t recycle contact lenses, but we say yes you can! In partnership with ACUVUE® and global recycling specialist TerraCycle® we are running a Contact Lens Recycle Programme. Collect any brand of soft, disposable contact lenses, contact lens blister packaging and outer foils at home, bring them into us and we will arrange for them to be recycled for no charge. 2. Glasses Frames We will collect your old and unwanted glasses and, working with Recycline , send them away to be recycled. Recycline's operation is funded entirely by the sale of the recovered materials, allowing them to also donate a proportion of profits to charities to help with local and international causes. Of course, this will be done free of charge. You can recycle: glasses, sunglasses, safety glasses, safety goggles, and swimming goggles. 3. Batteries The UK throws away 600 million household batteries every year. At present only one third are collected and recycled with the remaining batteries being sent to landfill as general waste. These will eventually break down and the dangerous chemicals may leach out resulting in soil and water pollution, in turn causing damage to our natural ecosystems and wildlife. The materials held within the batteries can be recovered and reused. This will reduce the demand for raw materials required each year and help preserve resources. As some of the materials are heavy metals such as lead and mercury, it is important that they do not end up in the waste stream. You can bring your used batteries in to us, and working with recycle-more , we will ensure that they are recycled responsibly. And we'll do it free of charge.
- Using Your Own Frame
Have a frame that you'd like to put new lenses into? In the optical business this is known as reglazing . There are lots of opticians these days who won't do it. I can see where they're coming from, I guess. We make some of our money from selling frames after all. But if we're going to look after our planet then we should be trying to reuse where we can, rather than just throw good frames away. So, at EDGE we've made the decision to let patients reuse their own frames. We will have to charge a fee for this because we have to pay the laboratory to do the work. The price to reglaze your own frame ranges from £30 to £50 depending on the frame. If you buy a complete pair of glasses you can reglaze your own frame for half price. Reglazing a frame at EDGE is now even quicker and easier since we got our tracer machine. This machine means if we order from our main lens supplier (Shamir) we don't even have to take your frame away from you while we make new lenses for it. We trace the shape of the frame and Shamir send us the lenses all ready to be fitted. It is always up to you, but what a lot of people have done is buy a complete new pair of glasses and then used our 2nd pair offer (more info here ) to get lenses put into their old frame. This is a great, cost-effective and sustainable way to have a spare pair of glasses, or another look to be able to mix things up. Email us on info@edge-eyewear.co.uk or use the contact us directly button at the bottom of this page if you would like more information.
- Super Fast Deliveries
Did you know that here at EDGE Eyewear we can deliver your spectacles in double quick time? Our main lens supplier, Nikon, design their lenses in Japan but they manufacture the majority of their lenses here in the UK. Milton Keynes, to be precise. Not only does that make the process more eco-friendly, due to their delivery to us having a smaller carbon footprint, but it also means we can get the lenses quickly. Fast Track If you would like your glasses within 3-5 days then we can choose Fast Track delivery. Super Fast Track With Super Fast Track orders the glasses will be ready in 48-72 hours (although sometimes they even come in the next day!). Is the quality affected by such quick delivery? Absolutely not! The lenses will still meet Nikon's and EDGE's very high standards. Nothing is rushed, the orders are just given top priority and moved to the front of the queue. There are only 6 dedicated Nikon laboratories in the world, and EDGE has access to the UK one. How can my frame make it from Warrington to Milton Keynes and back so fast? We'll let you into a little secret - they don't! For most orders we can scan in the exact shape of your frame and Nikon send us the lenses already made to the exact size and shape we need. This also saves the carbon footprint of sending your frames to Milton Keynes. So you'll be happy and so will the planet! Is there anything that can't be fast tracked? Yes. Sports specific glasses, tinted lenses, some Transitions lenses (the XTRActive range), and some coatings. Most orders can be fast tracked, but feel free to ask us about the glasses you're interested in. So if you need your glasses in a hurry, or you just hate waiting, use one of our Fast Track services. EDGE Eyewear will get you into some fabulous new glasses faster than you can say "amazing eyewear".
- Picking the right frame for your face shape
Rules, rules, rules. Don't we have enough rules in our lives? There are supposed to be rules when it comes to picking a frame to match your face shape. I prefer to think of them as guidelines. So let's run through them and you can decide. Round Face Are you a roundy-round face? If so it's likely that the widest part of your face will be the cheekbones with the width and length of your face being around the same. Those with a round face benefit from fuller cheeks, softer angles and a round curved jawline. When it comes to choosing glasses for round shaped faces, angles and squares or rectangular frames are your friends here; the aim is to create contrast so try and steer clear of smaller styles as they may appear tight on the face. Those with a round face need to be wary not to choose styles that accentuate the roundness. A cat eye will lift your face whereas square frames or wayfarers will add angles to even out proportions. Oval Face Could your nickname be Ovaltine? When choosing frames for an oval face shape, think egg! An oval face is typically longer than it is wide and doesn’t have any noticeable sharp angles, much like the shape of your standard chicken egg. The forehead and jawline will be slightly rounded with those great cheekbones making up the widest part of the face. If you’re lucky enough to boast a classic oval shape then we’ve got good news - almost every frame works. Though if you do want to choose glasses that accentuate your well-balanced oval shape, choose frames that are as wide as those enviable cheekbones. Round, rectangle and rimless will all work well for you, so go wild and have fun! Square Face Head like a cube getting you down? Worry not! That broad forehead, wide jawline and strong chin give a square face its defining features and what's often considered a ‘strong’ face shape. You can be proud of a forehead, cheekbones and jaw that are of equal width. A square face will also have length and width of similar proportions. Classic square and angular frames will do a great job of accentuating that amazing square jawline if that’s what you’re after. If not, and you’d like to try something to help slim down your face, making it appear longer, go for a round, or oval shaped style. Heart Face Got a heart-shaped face? Glasses love a heart-shaped face. You'll be spoilt for choice when it comes to eyewear. A heart-shaped face is characterised by a wider forehead with high cheekbones and a slimmer lower half of the face which gradually narrows down to a pointy chin. It’s widely accepted that frames that are wider than your forehead are your friends here, think cat eye styles for feminine styles, and frames with a deeper lens shape. Rounded frames provide a pleasing contrast to the angles of a heart-shaped face, whereas bottom heavy styles such as wayfarers will widen the lower half of your face providing balance. You might choose to avoid semi-rimless (what we call supra) styles as their top-heavy nature will only work to accentuate a heart shape’s wider forehead and narrower chin. Or you could just go wild! Maybe you're still not sure what your face shape is, maybe you don’t care, or maybe your face is just face-shaped. Is that you? Or do you not like being told what to do and want to go against the grain and choose something crazy! If yes then you’re the wild child and I'm all for it! I salute you! Think about clear frames, bright colours, or whatever takes your fancy really! Whether you consider yourself of the feminine or masculine persuasion, or any anywhere in between, the 'rules' work for all.
- EDGE's 3rd Birthday
On Saturday the 31st of May 2025 EDGE Eyewear had a birthday party to celebrate being 3-years old. We can't believe it's been so long already! There were drinks, nibbles, music, and a massive ECO Eyewear event. We had hundreds of ECO Eyewear frames for people to try on, all with 20% off . ECO Eyewear have been around since 2009, making them the world's first sustainable eyewear brand. Through their 'One Frame, One Tree' program they have planted 3.8 million trees. They are carbon negative, which we love! They continue to pioneer sustainable eyewear to this day. ECO only make eyewear from sustainable materials, produced following ethical and eco-conscious values to reduce their environmental impact. A massive thank you to everyone who has supported EDGE Eyewear on our journey so far. And an especially big thank you to everyone who came along to the birthday event. It was lovely to see you all!
- OCT, And Why It Is So Important
What is OCT? OCT stands for Optical Coherence Tomography. In short, it's a way to look after the health of your eyes. It works a bit like an ultrasound scan, but it uses light instead of soundwaves. It also has much better resolution so gives much clearer images than ultrasound. There are 2 ways to simply explain OCT: Like having an MRI scan or your eyes. Or if you prefer a more real world explanation: Imagine the photo you have taken of the back of your eyes is the top of a cake. Having OCT scans done is like being able to take a slice of the cake and look at the different layers of it. EYE TEST Why have OCT done? In the realm of ophthalmology (medical eye care), few technologies have had as profound an impact as OCT. This imaging technique has revolutionised the way eye care professionals diagnose, monitor, and treat various eye conditions. Practitioners can now see much smaller changes than ever before, which when viewed next to the corresponding photographs of the eye, can be quite surprising when the photos appear deceptively normal. In other words, we can spot things that would otherwise have been missed. It can be incredibly helpful in diagnosing eye conditions such as: Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) Glaucoma Diabetic Retinopathy Macula Holes Macula Oedema Retinal Detachment Plus many others besides. Are all OCT Scans the same? Of course some equipment is more sophisticated than others, but I would argue that just as important is the skill and knowledge of the person performing the scans. I believe all scans should be performed by a fully qualified optometrist. That is what we do here at EDGE, in every eye examination. I have worked at the big multiple chains in the past. Some of them do OCT scans, but the procedure is performed by shop floor staff. I've even seen these scans come through to my consulting room upside down! There are many different types of scans that can be performed. The best person to decide which scans are most appropriate is the optometrist. In Conclusion The introduction of OCT has significantly improved the standard of care. At this point, it should be part of any standard eye examination. Here are some key ways OCT has transformed eye care: Early Detection : OCT allows for the identification of eye conditions at their earliest stages, often before symptoms appear. This early detection is crucial for preventing vision loss and starting timely treatment. Accurate Diagnosis : With its high-resolution imaging capabilities, OCT provides precise and detailed images, enabling accurate diagnosis and assessment of various ocular conditions. Monitoring Disease Progression : OCT is an invaluable tool for tracking the progression of eye diseases. Regular scans help clinicians monitor changes over time and adjust treatment plans accordingly. Guiding Treatment : OCT aids in planning and evaluating the effectiveness of treatments, whether it's administering injections for macular oedema or performing surgery for retinal detachment. This guidance ensures the best outcomes for patients. Here are some of the kind of images we can get with OCT. Don't worry if you can't make head nor tails of them, that's my job!
