Color doesn’t whisper in the Etnia Barcelona Chroma collection.
It leads.
Chroma is where bold acetate, sculpted volume, and saturated color meet modern architecture. These frames are designed for people who don’t want their eyewear to disappear into their face. They want it to say something.
Every angle is intentional.
Every tone is expressive.
Every frame is wearable art.
If you believe glasses are part of your identity, not just your prescription, Chroma was made for you.

Throwback Thursday.
Last year, Dr. Shaun Ravana, OD wrote about burnout in optometry.
Not as a complaint. As an observation.
After years in practice, the work can become repetitive. Patient interaction changes. Pressure increases. And pushing through starts to feel less effective than it used to.
His point wasn’t that optometry is broken.
It was that ignoring burnout doesn’t fix it.
A year later, the takeaway still applies across professions:
Burnout is often a signal that how you’re working needs adjustment, not that you’re failing at your work.
Still relevant. Still practical.
