The majority of eyewear products available in the market were designed to fit Caucasian features. As Asian facial characteristics are different than those of Caucasians, no wonder Asian Americans have scarce selection of eyewear products that offers them the proper fit. Compared to Caucasians, many Asians have higher cheekbones and lower nose bridges—their hunt for the right eyewear could be a frustrating and tiresome experience.
Eye care professionals would not argue over the long term negative effect that could arise from wearing frames that were not fitted properly, even when most consumers are unaware of the importance of finding the right fit. This is especially true to the Asian Americans—-they are left to believe that, it is simply an impossible task and they have no choice but to settle on products that were not made for them. What’s at stake goes beyond aesthetic: when the frames or sunglasses slide down constantly and aren’t fit adequately, one cannot see properly and could even experience dizziness or headache. As for the sunwear, even when they are wearing one, the tilted sunglasses that sit on their cheeks are not protecting them from the harmful UV ray.
TC Charton has worked in the optical industry for over 15 years and, has participated with the creation of countless European and American designer brands. Being Asian-American herself, she has had her share of frustration with the scarce choices when it comes to finding eyewear that can fit an Asian person.
Thus TC Charton created the very first eyewear collection in North America that is designed specifically to fit Asian features. The collection offers both ophthalmic frames and sunglasses. The idea behind each frame design is based on the fundamentals of distinctive American style — clean, upbeat, sleek and timeless — with modern shapes and careful choices of colors that compliment Asian features and skin tones.
The style of TC Charton is “everyday luxury”. The collection is made for those who desire to be current, but refuse to be fashion victims. It combines functionality and comfort, with design elements that convey both sophistication and individuality.
