                             elcome to our new issue of The ODMA eye talk
                             LOOKBOOK 2020. In today’s age, eyewear
                             no longer serves one simple function – to improve our
                             sight. The right pair of frames can add dimension to
                             the face and make its best features pop.

 That’s why it’s essential to choose a suitable pair for your face and
 personality. Whether you want to appear youthful, fun loving, or
 sophisticated, the right pair will reflect your unique personality and
 identity. As glasses are the focal point of our appearance, choosing the
 right style is critical to the impression we make on the world.

 Inside the third edition of our LOOK BOOK you’ll find a range of the
 latest styles in eyewear to help you find a suitable look.
 To guide you through this process, we’ve included information on
 choosing the right frames for each face shape. Keep in mind that while
 eyewear improves your appearance, it also protects your eyes from UV
 rays and blue light exposure.

 As Australians increasingly use smartphones, computers, and tablets,
 we are also being exposed to greater levels of blue light.
 So please remember there are a variety of light sensitive lenses available
 in the Australian market. The latest in eyewear is as much about lenses
 as frames, and as much about eye health as appearance.

 So whether you’re looking for retro sunglasses, corrective lenses,
 or bespoke designs there is something inside for everyone.
