#ChasingDreams: Many of you know Sid Sidhu, Younger’s former longtime head of business development for the Americas, who retired in January of this year. One of Sid’s longtime dreams / bucket list items was to make it to Mount Everest, the tallest mountain in the world. Well, Sid did it! Here he is at Base Camp, 5,364 meters above sea level, just 10 months after retirement. There is a lesson to be learned here for all of us: never forget to chase your dreams! And here is Sid, catching his. By the way, in this photo, Sid is wearing NuPolar copper with a rose tint. For anyone with dreams involving great outdoors, NuPolar can be there to help you accomplish those dreams! #CONGRATULATIONS to Sid from all your friends in the optical industry! —David Rips, President & CEO of Younger Optics #OpticalIndustry #NuPolar #PolarizedLenses #RxSunwear #Success #Everest

There’s an old saying: the more things change, the more they stay the same. That is certainly true for eyewear fashion trends. Certain styles always reappear in an ever-continuing cycle. Those of us who have been in the industry for a long time have seen every trend come and go, and come back again! You may think this is only true for frames, but it's true for lenses too! Lenses for rimless frames, oversized lenses for oversized frames, faceted lenses, polished edges, the list goes on! Gradient sunwear lenses are one of the mainstays of this cyclical pattern, and they have stronger “staying power” than most. It makes sense, because a lot of plano sunwear is sold in gradients. ECP’s want to be able to show off a style on their plano sunwear frame board and duplicate it with their patient's Rx Sunwear. In the past, if your patient wanted all the benefits of polarization, plus a gradient, you would have had to order a gray or brown polarized lens and add the gradient via a tinting process at the lab. This was a more difficult task than it would appear to be, since both lenses have to match perfectly. And let's be honest, tinting lenses has always been more of an art than a science! NuPolar Gradient lenses makes this all a lot easier. Just order them and you got it! Just remember, with polarized lenses, always please specify NuPolar!
