These four standout pieces of eyewear, newly in 2023. I originally chose these styles to feature in my regular column in professional journal Optometry Today. But why keep these amazing frames among the profession?
Theo Eyewear
Swaai Stel is one of four designs from Theo Eyewear’s new Swing collection. The multi-coloured round design typifies the Belgian brand’s bold aesthetic.
Etnia Barcelona
Heptagonal-shaped Punchina is one of the standout designs from Etnia Barcelona’s newly-launched Alter Ego collection which draws inspiration from the world of classical sculpture.

Masahiromaruyama
Masahiromaruyama’s newest collection Kintsigu, is named after Japanese art of putting broken pottery pieces back together with gold- a metaphor for embracing flaws and imperfections. The collection comprises both metals and acetates.
