You were never trying to stand out.
You just ordered a cortado and adjusted your sunglasses—oversized, unapologetic, and unmistakably you.
The waiter paused.
Someone at the next table lost their train of thought.
Hand-drawn lines on the temple echo the spirit of flight. Corrine Hunt’s Eagle motif, rendered in quiet defiance. Teal Tortoise over Crystal.
You didn’t plan to cause a stir.
You just did.

“I liked the idea of growing something for myself.”
Dr. Anson Tam knew ownership was the goal—but like many first-time clinic owners, the upfront costs and uncertainty held him back.
That changed when he found a partnership model that made the leap feel possible.
Today, he runs a thriving Specsavers clinic and optical store in Markham, ON—offering same-day diagnostics, full-scope care, and a patient-first experience.

The Red Rose collection by @OGIEyewear is minimalism at its most refined—where ultra-thin metals, clean lines, and heritage-inspired silhouettes come together in perfect balance.
Handcrafted in Japan from 100% titanium, these frames are as lightweight as they are durable.
And with their signature screwless hinge design? Every detail is intentional. Every angle, precise.
This is eyewear for those who appreciate modern heritage—a quiet confidence that never chases trends because it sets them.
