The mystery of Tupac's Eyeglasses

Tupac Shakur is back in the news with the Tupac Hologram performance.  If you have not seen it yet, the video is at the end of this post.

Mystery surrounds Tupac.  Who killed Tupac?  Is Tupac Still alive?  Those are real questions for millions of Tupac fans.  We at Vision Source Vancouver Optometrists also have a question.

What eye glasses did Tupac wear?  They are unique and distinctive but as far as we can tell, no one knows the answer to this question.

If you have any idea, let us know.

Study proves that half the eyewear sold online is junk. Why read the study when you can enjoy this cool infographic?

It is becomming more well known that a recent research study from Pacific University has proven  that half the eyeglasses sold online are junk.  This blog wrote about the study just yesterday. 

Today, the BC Doctors of Optometry have come out with this infographic on the topic.  The information is in line with what we actually see in our Vancouver optometry clinic with patients comming in with headches, blurry vision and glasses that just don't work, fit or suit the patient's needs. 

Studies show that half the glasses sold online are junk. What kind of problems might I experience?

A research study from Pacific University has proven what most eye doctors have already been told by their patients, that half the eyeglasses sold online are junk and can cause lots of problems. 

But how might substandard eyeglasses affect you and what problems might you experience if you were the unfortunate owner of a pair of substandard eyeglasses? 

Dr. M.K. Randhawa, of Vision Source Vancouver optometrists, talks about this problem in this video:
