U.S. sales of sunglasses are expected to grow about 20 percent in 2009 over 2008, according to Marshal Cohen, chief retail analyst for the NPD Group, a market research company in Port Washington, New York.

That’s in contrast to the flat to slightly higher growth other consultants see for the entire U.S. luxury sector.

“You can thank the youth market,” Cohen said. “The teenagers and college students have jumped all over sunglasses as the ‘must have’ fashion accessory.

“For the generation before them, it was jeans. ca jeansAnd then it was the handbag. Now designers are jumping all over the sunglasses licensing category,” he said.

NEW YORK, Sept 11 – If there’s a winning look on New York’s fashion runways this week, sunglasses may trump the spring clothes from top designers.

Shades, from huge Jackie Onassischina shoes frames to dashing aviators, 1980s rocker specs and nerdy squares, popped up in spring 2009 collections and attracted notice as an affordable way for style-conscious consumers to don designer wares.

Showing sunglasses were Michael Kors, Diane von Furstenberg, Derek Lam, Perry Ellis, Lacoste, cheap gucciCarmen Marc Valvo, Nicole Miller, Gottex, Catherine Malandrino and others among the 200-plus designers at the semi-annual New York Fashion Week.

The sunglasses trade can benefit as even the wealthiest consumers become more budget conscious as the U.S. economy faces a possible recession by year’s end, experts said.

Green tea could help protect against glaucoma

No Comments »

New research suggests Green tea could help protect against eye diseases such as glaucoma.  The researchers, based at Hong Kong Eye Hospital found that antioxidants known as catechins were present in the eye tissue of laboratory rats following ingestion of green tea.

The antioxidant Catechin belongs to the family of antioxidants that includes vitamin C, vitamin E, lutein, and zeaxanthin. These antioxidants are well-known for their disease-fighting properties.

Upon examination of the rats, which had been fed green tea extract, evidence was found that the cornea, lens, retina, choriod-sclera, vitreous humor and aqueous humor all showed significant amounts of absorption of individual catechins.

The studies are very interesting however further studies in humans will need to be conducted to verify the same effects will occur. The full articel on “Green Tea Catechins and their Oxidative protection in the Rat Eye” can be found here: Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 10 February 2010.
