A recent University of Cambridge report has shown the world is growing myopic (short sighted) and more than one study has shown that this may be related to not spending enough time outdoors.
The incidence of this myopia is soaring in industrialized countries and it appears that we're spending far too little time outdoors. It's not actually all the reading or computer work that causes it, it's just something about being outdoors that helps.
Sunday Picnic anyone?

NEW ARRIVALS: Young Wills Collection for our Smaller Clients
Occhiali Newmarket has just received our new collection for children and tweens, Young Wills.
"Young Wills are for boys and girls who love retro mixed with colour. They are streetwise when it comes to fashion and are not afraid to be individuals and to express themselves.
They are style gurus of the future, creating their own look rather than having it created for them. Young Wills wearers are the future when it comes to promoting fashion eyewear and facial accessories." - Robert William Morris
