Katrina has been wearing glasses since she was 8 years old. She describes her first pair as ‘yuck’, and tells me she had no choice in frames. She is more positive when she talks about this pair of glasses!

Frame: Anne et Valentin Baudelaire, titanium, colour H38, size 39-22

Lens: Hoya Mystyle Profile Modern progressive, 1.67 index material with BlueCoat

You are an Anne et Valentin fan.

Katrina: It works. They are crazy light, it is comfortable and the frame keeps its shape.

Are you rough on your glasses?!

Katrina: My glasses have a realistic life. I swap between my clear pair and sunglasses (Maui Jims). The nosepads work and the frame does not slide.

You have two screens here at work. How do you find the optics of this progressive design?

Katrina: Good no issues with that range.

How do you find the BlueCoat?

Katrina: Good especially for night driving, although I am also considering trying the EnRoute lens.

Here is a little background on the BAUDELAIRE, these all titanium small octagonal frames. “Sophisticated and intelligent, yet thoughtful and political, introverted and precious, quite serious, never boring.” We think this sounds like a good match!
