We told you about glasses sooo miniscule that they fit inside of a pen.

We told you how to look totally gorgeous in eyewear.

We didn’t whine to you about our $300+ designer sunglasses that broke after a day. We didn’t tell you that their customer service person told us that they cracked because one must pay special care in the art of eyeglass removal…quack!

But, don’t say we didn’t tell you about this one.

Magnesium, the metal alloy of jets and space vehicles is the next big thing when it comes to techno eyewear.

Oakley Switch frames use this incredibly strong, yet super lightweight alloy in combination with a Plutonite®– love that blue– lens that blocks 100% of all UVA, UVB, UVC and harmful blue light– the intense reflected light of snow.

Incredibly durable on theslopes and super hip in the urban jungle, thankfully,these glasses don’t need a manual to figure out how to place them on top of your head! Whoosh.
