Part of the convenience of AVIEW eyewear is that you can travel more lightly. First of all you don’t need prescription glasses and prescription sunglasses. Our frames provide both in one. And with AVIEW, you have the ability to travel with multiple colors at all times! You don’t need to bring multiple pairs of sunglasses, your AVIEW frames let you switch from Blue, to Green, to Black, in seconds. All safely tucked away in your pocket sized, leather lens wallet.

Having different colors with you when you are out in the world provides some real tangible benefits. There is a reason why hunters use yellow lenses, or why pilots made green lenses popular. There is is even a reason behind the phrase “see the world through rose colored glasses”! Civil war doctors prescribed rose colored glass to veterans suffering from PTSD because it helps improve mood.

The Basics

Depending on how far you’re going and how long you plan to stay, consider the following basics:

• Comfortable sneakers or hiking boots. And, if you’re so inclined, Birkenstock EVAs for relaxing.
• Sunglasses. There’s nothing worse than driving with the sun blaring in your eyes. With Aview Sunglasses, you buy just one pair of frames and then any number of the colored lenses, which come in slim packs that make them ideal for throwing in a bag. You can switch them out every day or with every outfit, and they won’t take up too much space.
• Extra socks and underwear. Consider period underwear if you’ll be traveling during menstruation.
• Face masks. You’ll likely have to interact with people at some point, and you may feel more comfortable in certain situations with a mask.
• Hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes. Most stores should have these in stock by now.
• Disposable gloves. Even if you’re not so worried about catching the coronavirus, these are handy for when you need to touch things like bathroom door handles and gas pumps. Especially if over-washing has made your hands super dry.
• A bag. You probably have one already, but if you need a good weekender, we really like this one from Baboon to the Moon ($169). It comes in fun colors and styles. A lot of our favorite laptop bags can double as a short-trip pack as well.
