One year on: Top 10 most-read Eye Wear Glasses posts

Happy birthday to Eye Wear Glasses, which turns one today. We kick off the week with a list of the 10 most-read posts of the past 12 months. They're not necessarily the best that we've featured, and celebrities take more than their fair share of the speccy limelight, but they are what you, collectively, looked at most:

Who makes England football manager Fabio Capello's glasses?

I've been inundated with emails from people asking where to buy glasses like those worn by Fabio Capello.

They are by an Italian brand called ZeroRH+. He actually wears a couple of styles. The RH132 Andro, left but in black, are similar but not the same as those above.

While these left (RH136 Iter) are the more recent pair, which he wears in grey and in black, such as in this picture from Saturday's 1-1 draw between England and the USA.

So where can you buy glasses like these? Many opticians stock Zero RH+, find your nearest one here.
