Eyewear has become one of the biggest fashion statements in Canada. Whether you live in Aurora, Newmarket, or Richmond Hill, your glasses say a lot about your personality. Two major trends dominate today’s optical fashion: big bold frames and minimalist styles. The question is—which one is right for you?
