As a respected stylist and member of the Hispanic community, Irma is the perfect person to prove that being fashionable can go hand in hand with eye health.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>Addressing Fashion and Function<br \/><\/b>The web series touches on three main themes ranging from how to choose eyewear that complements the shape of your face, skin tone, personal style and lifestyle to selecting fashion accessories that make eyewear the focus of a complete look. But the webisodes will not only focus on outer beauty.\u00a0 With the help of Martinez, Transitions Optical hopes to motivate viewers to pay attention to their overall eye health by visiting an eye care provider on a regular basis.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>According to a comprehensive study by the National Eye Institute, Latinos developed visual impairment and blindness at the highest rate of any ethnic group in the country. Globally, a recent study found that while sight is the most valued of the senses, 39 percent of adults admit they pay less attention to their eyes than any other health issue. Keeping tabs on eye health is important since even daily exposure to UV rays can have a cumulative effect on eyes, making them more susceptible to serious eye conditions like cataracts and age-related macular degeneration.<\/p>\n<p>Transitions\u00ae lenses continually adapt to changing light, going beyond vision correction offered by ordinary clear prescription lenses. They also reduce glare and eyestrain, making eyes more comfortable. As a bonus, they block 100 percent of the sun&#8217;s harmful UV rays, offering eyes added protection, important for maintaining eye health.\u00a0 In addition to Transitions lenses, an overall sun protection regimen to help protect the eye from harmful UV radiation includes frame size.\u00a0 The larger the frames, the greater the eyes are protected from UV rays.\u00a0 A UV coating on the back of the lens can also provide additional protection. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m excited to share how Transitions lenses are stylish and can complete any great look,&#8221; Martinez said. &#8220;But the fact that I can also inspire my community to take better care of their eyes through fashion is also very gratifying.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Martinez, a Transitions lenses wearer herself, is well-known in fashion circles for her ability to put her fashion-forward clients on best-dressed lists. Named one of the top 25 most powerful women by <i>People en Espanol<\/i>, her styling is regularly seen on red carpets, music videos and the covers of U.S. and international magazines.<\/p>\n<p>To view &#8220;Estilo a Primera Vista,&#8221; go to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.transitions.com\/es-us\" target=\"_blank\">www.transitions.com\/es-us<\/a> or visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLcbMScMP9M2xdtIkujDA2hJ9Rr9-MLqvO\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b>ABOUT TRANSITIONS OPTICAL<br \/><\/b>Transitions Optical is the leading provider of plastic photochromic (adaptive) lenses to optical manufacturers worldwide.
