Our “𝗲𝘆𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗼𝘄𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗹,” so says Shakespeare

but it turns out they are also the windows to the heart. There have been many studies on how our eyes affect our behavior towards one another.

On Valentine's day - when it comes to finding 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲,❤️ our eyes can make all the difference.

In several scientific studies it was found prolonged eye contact can cause attraction

𝗘𝘆𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

Two opposite s*x strangers were asked to gaze into each other’s eyes for two minutes and it was found in some cases it was enough to produce passionate feelings for each other. So much so that one of the couples even got married a year later!

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝘂𝗽𝗶𝗹𝘀, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗺

Women are attracted to the size of a man’s….pupils? Edinburgh University found that women ound pictures of men with enlarged pupils more appealing. This is likely connected to the finding that our pupils dilate when focused on someone we find attractive.

𝗘𝘆𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝘂𝘀 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝘂𝘀

Prolonged eye contact has been thought to release phenylethylamine, a chemical responsible for feelings of attraction. It has also been thought to release oxytocin, the love chemical most closely associated with longer term bonding and commitment.

𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘁 𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿’𝘀 𝗲𝘆𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲

Studies in Chicago’s and Geneva found that people tended to fixate on the faces of the images of people that elicited a feeling of romantic love.

𝗘𝘆𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲

A famous experiment by Harvard psychologist Zick Rubin found that couples who were deeply in love after several years looked at each other 75% of the time while talking versus the average 30-60% of the time.

So if you want to make this Valentine’s Day especially romantic, don’t just get chocolates and flowers but gaze into your partner’s eyes for a while. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗺𝗮𝘆 𝗯𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁!

𝗔𝗪𝗔𝗥𝗗

We're thrilled to have received the "𝗕𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗘𝘆𝗲𝘄𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆" Award from Bird Eyewear for 2025.

We are delighted to work alongside 𝗕𝗶𝗿𝗱 𝗘𝘆𝗲𝘄𝗲𝗮𝗿 to provide modern, extremely well-made spectacle frames from a company with a genuine care for the environment.

Hundreds of millions of spectacle frames go to waste each year, most made from crude oil-based plastic with little thought given to lifespan, durability, repair-ability and whether they could be recycled.

𝗕𝗶𝗿𝗱 𝗘𝘆𝗲𝘄𝗲𝗮𝗿 exists to provide a planet-positive option that looks and feels great. they've pioneered alternative approaches to materials and brand impact, from innovating bio-acetates and frames made from castor beans to using recycled metals, sustainable woods and left over materials.

Every pair of Birds are fully repairable, recyclable, low-carbon and fit for purpose, all while championing and protecting our natural world.

𝗕𝗶𝗿𝗱 𝗘𝘆𝗲𝘄𝗲𝗮𝗿 is the world’s highest scoring B Corp eyewear brand, so looking after the environment isn’t just a hollow claim, it’s written into their business code of conduct.

Factors contributing to their growing success includes planting their very own forest in Devon as part of their carbon reduction drive, alongside developing new products made from recycled waste and building out a fully transparent supply chain.

Call in anytime and we will be happy to show you the latest styles from this environmentally friendly UK based business
