Eye Wear Fashion Icon: Dr. Stanley Pearle has New Book

New York, NY, May 27, 2007 --(PR.com)-- "Men seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses," quipped Dorothy Parker, the legendary critic for Vogue, Vanity Fair, and the New Yorker.

But then came Dr. Stanley Pearle, who changed all that when he single-handedly revolutionized the eyeglass industry by bringing fashion to old-fashioned glasses and thereby living up to his famous slogan: "Nobody cares for eyes more than Pearle."

There was a time not long ago when being told you needed glasses was tantamount to a fashion prison sentence. But Dr. Pearle reprieved millions of kids and adults by introducing them and the world to designer frames, lightweight plastic lenses and contact lenses.

A Man of Vision is Dr. Pearle’s “rags to riches” story behind one of America’s greatest business successes. Published by Arbor Books, Dr. Stanley Pearle’s book tells why he ranks as the leading innovator in his field.

While he revolutionized the eye care industry, Dr. Pearle also helped pave the way for the merging of designer fashion with what, at one time, was considered the more mundane, such as glasses, shoes, watches and even most everyday clothing.

Dr. Pearle brough elegance, class, and distinction to what otherwise was seen as a necessary evil. Wearing glassses was like wearing a prescription on your face. But not anymore.

“Arbor Books is proud to be the publishing company that Dr. Stanley Pearle and Luxottica Group chose for his book,” says Joel Hochman of Arbor Books. "Arbor Books has been involved in bringing hundreds of notable books to the general public, but this one has been particularly exciting for us."
