NEOSTYLE: Personality Eyewear

"The story began in 1961, when Walter A. Nufer founded the company NEOSTYLE. He immediately implemented his concept of developing eyewear frames, which were not merely functional but also met up-coming trends. Thus originated an avant-garde eyewear style. Details became of major importance. The features become harmoniously emphasized and the personality of the wearer put at the forefront of all designs".

Check out some of our in-stock NEOSTYLE frames available as part of our half price frame sale!

the Neostyle "Nautic" Model was favoured by Elvis Presley

It's All Man Monday

That's right - it's All Man Monday at Ratas Optical. Today we are showcasing a few favourites from The Victory Optical Collection.

Our inspiration began with this ad that we found in an old magazine...and now we will be making this a regular blog feature. We need models by the way, any takers?

Fellas, come in on Monday, try on some frames, send us your selfie to use on our blog and like us on Facebook. We will do you a solid with a sweet kickback on some awesome new eyewear. Monday, Manly Monday!

The times are a-changin'

After a whirlwind summer of remerchandising, adding the Retro Room, and launching Ratas Retro Eyewear, we are slowly finishing off the last touches of our shop renovation.

Thanks to our friends at Syllogy Home Decor across the way, we have been adding new wood shelving which has really warmed things up. Many of our customers have asked if the store is under new management or been sold - nope, just a few new faces and some changes! In fact, next year Ratas Optical will be celebrating 50 years as a family owned business.

So come by and see what we are up too! We are open daily from 11am until 6pm Monday through Friday, and Saturday from 11am until 5pm. Sunday, we are closed. We have new frames arriving weekly, and the biggest selection of retro eyewear in town.

Transitions Signature VII Graphite Green

We are so excited about the new Transitions Graphite Green Lenses! You can read more here about Transitions Signature VII lenses, or come in to learn more!

From essilor:

"Jointly developed by Essilor and Transitions Optical under a patented colour technology, Crizal Transitions Signature VII Graphite Green Lenses offer more natural vision and truer colour perception. While traditional tinted lenses distort colour, Crizal Transitions Signature VII Graphite Green lenses represent colour very accurately, nearly as well as a perfectly clear lens."

A True Molecular Breakthrough

"This new colour also benefits from Chromea 7 technology, an exclusive dye formulation that allows the lenses to be more responsive in more lighting conditions across all temperatures. As a result, they are more reactive to indirect sunlight and more reactive to get darker on hot days."
