CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!

Written by on October 19th 2010

This week, the Customer of the Week is LESLIE!

Leslie was tons of fun to help as she tried on and ultimately chose this awesome Francis Klein sunglass frame.

Many of you may know Francis Klein as the company that makes glasses with rhinestones and flowers and carving and painted details. But they also know how to tone it down just enough, when necessary.

We love Francis Klein frames and the many personalities they can compliment. We also love this frame and think Leslie is a genius for choosing this style!

Congratulations Leslie, you’re our Customer of the Week!


We are giddy with anticipation for our trunk shows every Saturday in November which will feature all of the new frames from our favorite lines! Hundreds of new frames, in every style and color imaginable…we’re getting dizzy just thinking about it!

And if, during the month of November, you bring canned food for donation to Lakeview Pantry, we will take $25 off your complete Rx purchase!

Lafont’s totally awesome webpage for kids!

Written by on October 14th 2010
If you’ve visited Eye Spy recently, you know that we’ve increased our selection of frames for kids. It all started when we fell head over heels for all of the new styles Lafont was creating for kids under 12 years old. We also saw a demand from our customers for more interesting and colorful kids frames.
Now, we are doing cartwheels all over the store because Lafont has created a web page where you can see several of the Lafont kids styles online! They also have coloring pages to download and games to play!


To check out the website click here!
To check out more styles for kids stop by Eye Spy and check out our kids display with frames by Lafont, ic! berlin and Italee!

When the Specs Therapist turned 12, she got a puppy. As Eye Spy turns 12, we’ll give you something almost as awesome. Stop by the store on Saturday, October 16th from 10-6 and celebrate with in-store specials, give-aways, and food and drink! We’ll not only be celebrating our anniversary, but also the awesome frames we have in stock, including new plastic Theos, cool metal Anne et Valentins, and limited edition Rapp frames! Turning 12 is soooooooo great!

CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!

Written by on October 6th 2010

This week our Customers of the Week are Randy and Dennis! Yay!

Randy and Dennis had been customers of Eye Spy for years! Then they moved to Santa Fe where they were regularly asked where they got their awesome glasses. “Chicago” they’d say. Well, wouldn’t you know they missed Chicago so much they moved back! One of their first stops, once they were all settled in, was to Eye Spy where we welcomed them home with open arms and awesome new frames from Anne et Valentin and Theo!!!!


Randy looks so great in his new Theo frame!

And Dennis looks totally rad in his new Anne et Valentin frame!

Great choice, guys! We missed you! Congrats on being the Customers of the Week!

New Eyes for the Needy

Written by on October 1st 2010
After you’ve purchased your awesome new glasses from Eye Spy, what will you do with your old frames?

1) Create a work of art to show visitors how much time you have on your hands:

2) Donate your old glasses to New Eyes For the Needy!

New Eyes for the Needy recycles donated glasses for distribution to indigent people in developing nations worldwide.

Last year, New Eyes provided eyeglasses to 5,167 needy residents of the U.S. and 161,000 people in developing nations.

Eye Spy Optical has a donation box in the store where you can donate your old eyewear and brighten the view of someone in need!

Customer of the Week!

Written by on September 28th 2010
This week’s choice was a tough one! Our customers have really been awesome at trying new looks and choosing frames that highlight their features so well that we were tempted to name every customer from the last week as the Customer of the Week!
But one person definitely stood out from the crowd, so congratulations go to Kathy! Her choice of this new Theo frame in a purple fade really highlights her gorgeous skin and sparkling eyes!

Kathy, you look great! Congratulations, you’re our CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!
