Our standards
Claims are sourced and dated. We link to the studies, spec sheets, and sources behind our numbers — and we date our evidence, because eyewear moves fast and last year's lens launch may be this year's discontinued line.
Independence first. No brand pays for placement; no advertiser edits our words. We're attached to a real optical store in Manchester, CT, which gives us real try-ons and optician expertise — but editorial stays independent of the sales floor.
We don't diagnose. We're journalists and opticians. Our opinions are opinions, not medical diagnoses. Anything touching eye health comes with the reminder we print in every issue: talk to your eye doctor.
Corrections are fast and visible. When we're wrong, we fix it quickly and note it here — not quietly, not buried. Trust is the only currency we have.
Corrections
October 19, 2026
- Quiz scoring (Issue #1, p95). The results page showed the scoring key only in the page metadata; the scoring text wasn't rendering on the page. Fixed: the scoring key and all four result archetypes (Minimalist, Maximalist, Classicist, Futurist) now display in full, with frame recommendations.
- Live translation languages (Issue #1, p31). Corrected the Meta Glasses live-translation figure to 20 languages.
- Editor's letter (Issue #1, p4). Rewritten to match the shipped issue — it previously described the issue as fit-only; the debut covers fit, trends, lenses, pricing, craft, and smart glasses.
- Issue #2 tease (Issue #1, p98). The "Fit Science" tease duplicated Issue #1's fit coverage. Replaced with the Holiday Gift Guide and community try-on threads, matching the Issue #2 plan.
- Frame-ID desk (Issue #1, p52). Reworded to reconcile with our About page: the desk is powered by and run out of our real Manchester store, not "without a store attached."
- Lens Lab precision (Issue #1, pp37–39). Stellest: added the FDA indication (ages 6–12, −0.75 to −4.50 D). MyoActive: the 0.60 D figure is now stated as 12-month data.
- Matsuda specifics (Issue #1, pp54/87). Film heritage now names the frames and wearers: the 2809 worn by Linda Hamilton (Sarah Connor) in Terminator 2, the M3023 worn by Robert Downey Jr. in Iron Man. Added the Fukui history nuance: eyewear-making began June 1, 1905 in Asouzu (now part of Fukui City); Sabae became the cluster's centre later.
- Cover (Issue #1). Corrected pricing/printing copy and removed unverified story lines from the cover.
