I know! Many people think that a pair of glasses is just a burden, something unpleasant to wear, something expensive that might be avoided or something you can economize on. Just because it’s not worth!

But: is it true? Or better is it true even nowadays?

Actually, from a certain point of view, this is a fair question, because in general the choice is very limited and almost forced.

But if you are reading us, you know that at our stores it’s a different story!

It’s another Story!

In the 50’s the optical situation was not simple, there were very few frames for prescription glasses, few colours and the choice was almost forced. Later on, due to the industrialization and thanks to the coming of the Fashion Houses and their advertisements, glasses became objects to be owned and to be showed, a sort of status symbol that was able to tell a dream.

But nowadays, in time of crisis, is it still like that?

In the post-modern and fragmented society where we are all living in, what we are asked to do is to have the courage to make our voices to be heard, to show our own personality and to be present within the same society.

In order to do that, we have to show an authentic image, close to the idea we have of ourselves.

In order to do that we should have the opportunity to choose the frame that fits our face the best.

And this is exactly what we do, with our eclecticism and professionalism.

Like in the old days, when there seemed to be more free time and one could go and browse glasses in different stores in order to get something special and unique, here at Astrologo you get the same possibility: to choose the particular, different and original pair of glasses among a wide choice of frames and glasses. From America, France, Denmark, Germany, handmade ones, vintage ones , long lasting ones, elegant ones, technological ones or simply suitable for the everyday life.
