In addition, technology has eternally altered the mechanics of eyewear. Thanks to liquid crystal-activated sensors on the frame, new "smart" prescription lenses can now alter focus automatically from far to near and back again.

The glasses have evolved from a “geek necessity” to a “fashion accessory.” National Eyewear Day invites us to celebrate the reality that, in addition to correcting our vision, glasses can help us achieve a completely new look. Many of us wear non-prescription glasses because we simply enjoy the way they make us appear.

The glad tidings? Today, virtually limitless options exist for designs, shapes, and hues.
