Astigmatism is a prevalent eye condition that leads to blurred vision. It results from the irregular shape of the cornea or lens in the eye, which prevents proper light focusing on the retina. If you have astigmatism, you may wonder whether you require glasses to correct your vision.

As a proud Australian-owned and operated eyewear brand, Dresden Vision is delighted to announce that we are now officially a part of the Australian Made campaign. We've been manufacturing our own frames in Sydney since 2014, and now we're incredibly proud to be part of the Australian Made community.

Are you struggling to read your eye prescription? At Dresden Vision we know the importance of understanding your eye prescription to ensure that you get the correct glasses or contact lenses

Have you been all around the shops this year realising you have picked up at least one of these gifts previously? Dresden’s revolutionary concept gives you options to gift like no other year before! Why not treat your loved ones this Christmas with a gift that they need? At Dresden we offer a wide range of gifting options, the choice is yours.

“It takes a lot of money to look this cheap.” (Dolly Parton, Entrepreneurial Genius). In fact, it takes about $2500 in cash to make each our new Limited Edition Recycled Money frames. Yep, we’ve gone and done it again (humble brag). We sourced off-cuts, rejects and ex-circulation banknotes of all denominations from the Reserve Bank of Australia to create our latest frames. Aussie banknotes that have reached the end of their useful life as currency, and RBA production waste materials are processed and then made into the classic Dresden shape, (by us) in Sydney, Australia.

One of the things that brings us so much joy at Dresden is seeing customers visit our stores and find a pair of frames that truly reflects their personality and individual style. This may be a case of trying each and every one of our 20+ colours before narrowing it down to a winner (or two), or experimenting with the 400+ possible colour configurations you can get when mixing frames and arms. Come on try it!

We’ve been champing at the bit to share some very exciting news with our community!! This October we’re launching a new range of protective eyewear designed to meet our emergent global conditions. The world is changing at a rate of knots. We’re living in a period where climate change, digitalisation and screen culture are omnipresent in our lives. These factors are having a big effect on one of our most precious assets: our eyes.

Many factors can contribute towards Dry Eyes, including the Environment, Ageing, Hormones, Medications, Medical Conditions etc. The most commonly seen causes in the clinic are generally due to extended screen use, eyelid inflammation (Blepharitis and Meibomian gland dysfunction), and air conditioning.

We’re well on our way to becoming a truly global omni-channel business, with our commitment to manufacturing in Australia, with sustainable materials, being our unique platform.

We’re making glasses simple, accessible, affordable and ultimately sustainable with an ethical and environmentally responsible manufacturing process.
