Our Customer of the Week is Pam!
Excitement is in the air in the windy city with the weather being unnaturally warm and sunny these past few weeks. Sunglasses are a perfect solution against harmful UV rays and discomfort from the blinding sunlight. Pam was excited to get her prescription in the brown and blue Anne et Valentin Solo frames. We recommended polarized lenses to give her crystal-clear vision and to eliminate glare. Pam looks glamorous in her new sunglasses and her peepers are protected!!!
Congrats, Pam, you look amazing…and you are our Customer of the Week!

Our Customer of the Week is Martise!
Martise was overwhelmed on his first visit at Eye Spy. He was tired of constantly finding similar shapes and muted colors at other opticals. We love the aviator Wonderglasses he chose which were inspired by the color of a post-it note! He also chose a pair of chunky black Theos with bold white graphics…and a pair of geranium red and black Theos that are not pictured.
Congrats, Martise…you rocked it and you are our Customer of the Week!!!

Spring has sprung and it’s time to start those outdoor projects, but don’t forget to wear your sunglasses! Wearing sunglasses provides benefits beyond the obvious comfort and looking even cooler than you already are. A good pair of sunglasses blocks 100% of the sun’s UV rays. Why is this important? The eyelids are the second most likely spot to get skin cancer and exposure to UV rays is a proven cause of skin cancer. Pterygin, a non-malignant but vision threatening growth on the cornea, is another harmful effect of UV exposure.
But, wait…there’s more!
The acceleration of the onset of cataracts and macular degeneration are caused by the accumulated exposure of UV throughout your life.
So now you have all the excuses you need to get yourself a fantastic pair of sunglasses!
Cheers,
Dr. Brad

Our Customer of the Week is Carl!!!
Mr. Carl Sweets posed for a sweet glamour shot with his new Francis Klein frames! We love how great the black to gray fade and the bold shape looks on him.

Eye Spy has always been a big fan of Mykita frames, but when we saw their line of Mylon Sunglasses…we flipped out! They are a perfect blend between fashion and function. They are made of a polyamide-based material which is lightweight, durable, and great for an active lifestyle. Not to mention, they are super stylish! Each frame in the Mylon collection provides lots of coverage from the sun’s harmful UV rays. Also, a special hydrophobic coating makes drops of water or particles of dirt immediatly bead up and roll of the lenses, keeping visiblity to an optimum. Wow, Mykita has thought of everything with this collection!!!
