Fall in love… with new, limited edition colors in two of our True Original styles.🕶️ We've taken our iconic Saratoga and Sirmont frames and given them a berry twist to complement the season’s favored palette. The latest color trends blend cozy fall tones with unexpected, bold shades. When paired with our signature frames, these colors are more than just a passing trend; they’re a timeless addition to any wardrobe, offering effortless style and sophistication. Always available in polarized and non-polarized options, find these limited colors and other new releases online or at your local AO retailer or opticians’s office.

Happy World Sight Day! Your sight is invaluable. If you haven’t already, choose today to make eye health a priority by scheduling an eye exam for you and your family. Don’t need a check-up? Make sure you’re choosing sun lenses that offer 100% UV protection. It may be autumn, but UV rays won’t take the season off, and neither should your eyewear.

Best overall? Thanks, Business Insider! "The acetate frames have a nice heft to them—they're slightly heavier than Ray-Ban Wayfarers, but less chunky design-wise. I've had a pair in regular rotation for more than two years. They still look brand new — no scratches on the lenses, the hinges still have a smooth action, and the frame's color is still pristine — I'm not super careful with them. AO reintroduced the Saratoga in 2020 after being unavailable for decades." https://lnkd.in/gjXbAisK

We kicked off summer with an outstanding product placement in 'The Fall Guy,' and we're not ready for the season to end just yet... Check out this great article from Men's Health with Ryan Gosling, featured wearing American Optical OP, and David Leitch, connecting over stunt work, pain, and purpose.

And we're still just getting started! "For those who like some pedigree, AO has been making glasses since 1833, predating the radio by 60 years. They’ve been worn by presidents, NASA space crews, military pilots, baseball players, and basically everyone else in the intervening years, and haven’t fallen off a bit." - GQ Magazine https://lnkd.in/g_NtxqjZ
