For your eyes only

You & Eye, the new optical store at Koregoan Park, offers a variety of trendy spectacles and glares, says Barnalee Handique

If you are looking for the right pair of spectacles or glares, which is stylish and enhances your looks, then step into You & Eye. On display is a huge variety of eyewear in assorted styles, colours and designs. Owner of the store Supriya Keswani says, “Often when I went shopping for eyewear, I realised it was very difficult to find the right design, colour and size. I realised that the city needs a good optical store where one can get everything under one roof. It was then that I started putting my ideas together and came up with this store.”
Everything the store has to offer is displayed on the shelves. So, you just have to scan the shelves and can zero in on the perfect pair! You have all the major brands like Carrera, Mercedes Benz, Escada, Ferrari, United Colors of Benetton, Zegna, Givenchy and Ray-Ban. Elaborating on the collection, Keswani says, “We are trying to fulfill the wishes of today's youth who are constantly looking for ways to express their attitude and highlight their personality.”
On offer are designs ranging from lightweight, cool plastics, trendy acetates to smart rimless ones, with three to four colour options under each style. The USP of the collection is that it is funky, trendy and suited to the taste of the present generation.
As for the prices, they start from Rs 399 and go upwards depending on the brand. Keswani reveals, “We have different kinds of contact lenses, progressive lenses, polaroids, which we procure directly from the manufacturer. There are no hidden costs and we sell our products at the actual MRP. So one can buy the perfect pair of glares without burning a hole in the pocket.”
Besides the store offers free eye-testing, so that you have the correct pair of lenses. And you also have Keswani personally guiding you to make the perfect choice! After you are done with selecting the product, a slide show gives you all the information about the particular brand and its dos and don'ts. For instance, if you have settled for a pair of polaroids, you will be given full information on it.
And if the readymade frames don't suit your taste, you can even get one customised. The orders are delivered on the same day at your doorstep.
Interestingly, You & Eye is launching an e-commerce portal in a couple of months with which you can shop online for your favourite pair of spectacles or glares. You can send in your specifications and pay online. Now isn't that appealing? But of course!
