Alain Mikli in the London Times

Monday, August 13th, 2007
Appearing in the London Times today: French Eyewear designer Alain Mikli trained as an optician, but decided that designing would be more fun. He started his brand in 1978 and opened his first boutique in Paris in 1987. He was the first to specialise in high-end frames by the likes of Jil Sander, Sonia Rykiel and Donna Karan, and his own dramatic, colourful and high-quality designs are worn by celebrities such as Uma Thurman, Bono and Kim Cattrall.

Alain has some top glasses tips…

  • Follow your own personality. Don’t we have enough rules in life already?
  • Smile when you look in the mirror when trying on glasses
  • Glasses are like wine: you get what you pay for
  • Designer glasses might seem expensive – until you add up the cost per wear

Anatomy of the Eye

Saturday, August 4th, 2007
The eye has been called the most complex organ in the body. It’s amazing that something so small can have so many working parts. But when you consider how difficult the task of providing vision really is, perhaps it’s no wonder after all.

The eye is like a camera. It lets light in through the cornea, which is like a camera’s opening. The amount of light allowed in is controlled by the pupil, which opens and closes a bit like a shutter. The light focuses on the retina, which sends the image to the brain, acting as film would in order to record the light (the photo itself).

Other eye structures support the main activity of sight. Some carry fluids – tears and blood – to lubricate or nourish the eye. Others are muscles that allow the eye to move. Some protect the eye from injury – lids and the epithelium of the cornea. And some are messengers, sending sensory information to the brain – pain-sensing nerves in the cornea and the optic nerve behind the retina.
