Any age restriction for Ortho-k?

No, both adults and children can wear Ortho-K lenses. The youngest patient we have was 6 years old, her mother worked with her every night and after 2 months, this cute girl was able to insert and remove the lenses by herself under her mom’s supervision. Also, we have few people in their 40’s and 50’s who love the freedom that Ortho-K brings to them. One eye was corrected for distance vision and the other for reading, this is known as “monovision”.

How quickly is my vision to improve with Ortho-K?

Your vision will improve after the first night and it will improve further and stabilise over the next two weeks of Ortho-K wear because your eye shape remodel with the treatment. For higher degrees of short-sightedness and astigmatism will take longer time to achieve optimum vision.

What prescriptions are suitable for Ortho-K?

Ortho-K typically works best for myopia (short-sightedness) between -1.00 to -6.00. The amount of astigmatism reduction depends on the type of astigmatism and amount. The upper limits for astigmatism reduction are 1.50 diopters of “with-the-rule” corneal astigmatism and 0.75 diopters of “against-the-rule” corneal astigmatism. Ortho-K will not have an effect on the internal astigmatism.

Read on to find out more about what makes Gucci frames such a craze among people worldwide.

About Gucci

Founded in 1881 in Florence, Italy by Guccio Gucci, the brand has found a place in popular celebrity culture. Gucci is the go-to brand for celebrities such as Mariah Carey, Jennifer Aniston, and Ludacris. The products offered by the house range from Gucci apparel and perfumes, to Gucci glasses.

When it comes to eyewear, Gucci has successfully carved a special niche for itself. Gucci glasses are available for both men and women and come in a variety of shades, shapes, and sizes. Both sunglasses and Gucci prescription glasses are available from the brand.

What is special about Gucci frames?

Gucci’s thick-rimmed, cat-eye prescription glasses such as this Cat-eye optical frame are out of the ordinary but carry the uniqueness that is the hallmark of every Gucci frame.

They have always opted for choices that are out of the ordinary. For instance, Gucci glasses often use tortoiseshell, horn, gold metal, or mother of pearls as the materials of their frames. These are not products that are used often. Hence, Gucci eyewear is unique which makes them even more sought-after and popular.

Apart from optical frames, Gucci also sells sunglasses that are, again, quite popular, especially in the fashion industry. The Gucci sunglasses are classy and timeless and make for a quintessential addition to luxury wardrobes.

Gucci is one of the leading premium luxury brands in the world, hence, most of their pieces are quite expensive as well. But be it normal prescription eyewear or sunglasses, Gucci always opts for fashion pieces that are bold and one-of-a-kind.

The most popular Gucci frames you can buy in Malaysia

Here are a few Gucci frames that are available at Malaya Optical. The top three choices from Gucci prescription glasses are:

GG03830 006: These Gucci glasses are for men. They are rectangular, with a full-rimmed frame. The upper rim is comparatively thicker than the lower part of the glasses. It is sturdy, durable, and sits on the nose bridge lightly. The frame colour is usually dual-tone, with a mix of gold and blue. The handles are of tortoise shells. Made from the best material, Gucci prescription glasses last for a long period. This frame style is evergreen and never goes out of fashion.
GG03960 001: It is a thin-framed prescription glass with a smooth metal finish. The metal frame is made of Monel – which is a mixture of copper and nickel. They are corrosion-resistant. Hence, you need not worry about colour fading or any such issues while selecting your frame. The frame type is squarish and has an overall smart and elegant look. As with all Gucci glasses, they are highly durable, adjustable, and sit comfortably on the nose bridge.
GG 1910A 006: These sleek gold-black prescription glasses impart a fashionable and timeless look. From modern to vintage, this classic frame type fits both categories. It is one of the most popular and sought-after frames from the house of Gucci. They are square with thick-rimmed frames and are strong and sturdy.

And here are some of the popular sunglass frames from the house of Gucci you can shop for at Malaya Optical:

Round frame sunglasses: This sunglass has unique gradient lenses in one variation, and pink lenses in the other. The handles are also available in two types, there is the signature tortoiseshell and the shiny black injection frame. They are round frames, with Gucci lettering on the handles.

Malaya Optical’s extensive collection is not restricted to just these frame types, as there are more options to choose from. Shop Gucci from the Malaya Optical store, and get to choose from a wide range of the latest Gucci eyewear.

How to choose a Gucci frame for yourself?

One way to decide on the correct frame for yourself is based on your face shape. Here are a few examples –

Round faces: If you have a round face, we recommend you go for a square-ish frame. A square or rectangular frame for prescription glasses will look great on a round face since it will balance out properly. You should go for full-rimmed frames.
Oval face: The best frames to go with an oval face are quite similar to round faces. Since there is an overall softness to the face, it is better to opt for sharp angles when it comes to choosing frames. Horizontal rectangles will suit this face type well.
Square faces: The reverse is applicable if you have a square face. To soften down the angularity of the face, you can opt for a more rounded frame. Hence, round or oval prescription glasses are the best choice for you.
Oblong faces: When it comes to this face shape, oversized glasses that are wider than the cheekbones can add balance to the face. Hence, frames such as wayfarer, thick-rimmed rectangular or square frames are popular choices. It is better not to select frames that are too narrow, as it may tend to give your face a less symmetrical look.
Heart-shaped faces: You would need a frame that does not add too much volume to the top of your face. Get frames that are rimless or semi-rimless. Light and thin frames will not give your face a top-heavy look. It is better to avoid thick-rimmed prescription glasses.
Diamond-shaped faces: For faces with a diamond shape, as with the previous face types, glasses with softer angles are preferred. Because diamond-shaped faces generally have high cheekbones, frames such as cat-eyes, horn-rimmed glasses, or oval glasses are a perfect choice.

After you have decided on the perfect Gucci prescription glasses for your face shape, you can select shop Gucci glasses that are available at the Malaya Optical store. Frames suitable for both men and women are available in all the branches.
