The world of YouTube has become an internet sensation, with over a billion users and every interest and hobby covered by an array of videos, there really is something for everyone.
With this roaring success the producers of these videos have become celebrities in their own right, who now often branch out into other areas such as books and merchandise. Approximately 60% of the UK population wears glasses and/or contact lenses meaning, of course, so do YouTubers!
Since they’re at the cutting edge of new entertainment, maybe they’re at the cutting edge of eye wear too, so here are a collection of my favourites!
1. PewDiePie
PewDiePie or Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg is a Swedish YouTuber with a mammoth 43 million subscribers and 11 billion views and he is unsurprisingly one of the most viewed people on YouTube.
Originally Felix gained popularity through videos on gaming and quickly gained a large fan base, he has since branched out in his content including vlogs and more conversational videos. His best selling book ‘This Book Loves You‘ and upcoming The PewDiePie Movie show his success is nowhere near over as his continues to go from strength to strength.
PewDiePie seems to be a fan of Persol as seen in this post for all his eye wear, and prescription specs are no exception. It looks like he’s wearing the Persol PO3046V here with a statement silver bridge and stylish round shape he shows off his fun style. You can’t expect be a good gamer without perfect eyesight! 
2. Zoella
