Our Customer of the Week this week is Eileen!

Eileen has been a loyal Eye Spy Customer for years! The other day, she came in to the store to have new lenses put in some of her own fantastic Eye Spy frames. While she was here, she wanted to look for something NEW, something NOW, something MODERN and COOL!

Well, she hit it out of the park with this one. Eileen’s new Theo frame is so fresh and lively, it just brightens the whole room when she’s around.

Way to go, Eileen! You’re our CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!

Customer of the Week!

This week we have TWO Customers of the Week!

Glen and Anne came in to the store looking for new, funky frames. We loooove when customers want to try new styles and colors. Especially when those customers look so good in so many frames!

Anne and Glen had a lot of options and it took a while to narrow down the choices. After some debate and consideration, they settled on Rapp and Anne et Valentin frames and, WOW, do they look great!



Glen and Anne look great in their new frames! We love the color and the shapes they chose, so flattering and awesome, and that’s why they are the CUSTOMERS OF THE WEEK!

You know what’s great about funky glasses? They allow you to show the world a little bit of your personality without having to say a word. They’re a silent handshake “Hello.” No, they’re more like a hug.
When Grace came in to Eye Spy last week and saw this Francis Klein frame with little bumble bees painted in the corners, she found her new look. We love this frame on Grace and we can’t imagine it on anyone else.

I know, Right?!

Congratulations, Grace! You’re our CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!

What’s this anti-reflective coating everyone’s always talking about?

Written by on August 26th 2010

When I was a New Year’s party this year, I kept getting asked the same question…

“How do you fix this?!” my friends howled in my face, their eyes hidden by fogged up glasses as they had just walked inside from the freezing cold outside. Knowing that I am an optician and work in a super-awesome optical shop, they looked (well they tried anyway) to me for the answer to the fogged lenses question.

I gazed back from my clearly bespecled face, the fog of temperature change had faded so quickly I barely noticed it existed and was able to make my way to the bar for a drink and a New Year’s kazoo before they even managed to Mr. Magoo their way to our table.

“Anti-Reflective coating” I replied. Cool. Collected. Clear.

What is this anti-reflective coating you speak of?

I’ll tell you, anti-reflective coating is actually a treatment that enhances eyewear lenses. It allows less glare which is extremely beneficial for night driving and computer work. Anti-reflective coating is perhaps most known for reducing eye fatigue and making the lenses look super-clear. So in pictures (and in person!) friends and family can see the wearer’s eyes and not the reflections of lights and windows.

The above video is also pretty cool. It’s summarizing some scientists in Florida working on the ULTIMATE anti-reflective coating!

This week, our Customer of the Week is DANTE!!!

Dante came in to Eye Spy a while back looking for new frames. He could tell that this Theo Eyewitness frame was the one, but….. he wanted a second opinion.

So, we took some pictures, emailed them to Dante and he was able to show his friends what he (and we) hoped would be his new specs.

Well, first instincts are usually right and Dante’s friends (wisely) supported his choice!


Check it out! Dante looks awesome in his new Theo Eyewitness frame!

It’s finally here! The August Sunglass Sale is in effect! For the entire month of August every single pair of sunglasses is on sale from 10%-30% off! Come on in and get that frame you’ve been dreaming of!!!

Virtually Indestructible

Yesterday, one of our favorite customers came in to Eye Spy with an emergency.
She had run over her ic! berlin Nan frame with her car:

This is after 20 minutes of repair work…
Our Specs Therapist (me) didn’t bat an eye when she saw the twists and bends in the metal.
Our customer had to run to a meeting at work and, while she was away, the Specs Therapist carefully and patiently returned the Nan to her previous glory:

Yaaaaaayyyyy!


Now, the Specs Therapist isn’t going to take all the credit here. You see, ic! berlin makes incredible frames. Absolutely magical frames. That can take just about anything one can throw at them. Really, truly, AWESOME frames. And those lenses? Trivex. Impact resistant, UV protected, and STRONG.
And as a side note, Eye Spy also carries Mykita frames which are just as durable and well-made! The original designers from ic! berlin started Mykita to bring to market a new and improved (!) hinge and designs. Come on by and see them both.

It’s finally here! The August Sunglass Sale is in effect! For the entire month of August every single pair of sunglasses is on sale from 10%-30% off! Come on in and get that frame you’ve been dreaming of!!!

Our Customer of the Week this week is Larry!
Larry came in to Eye Spy looking for a new pair of sunglasses. We immediately knew that Larry wasn’t going to go for any ordinary frame, so we chose this Anne et Valentin frame.

Gotta stay cool in this heat!

Anne et Valentin made some really sharp sunglasses this year and we love the way our customers have been rocking their new shades all over town!

Way to go, Larry! You’re our CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!

CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!

This week our Customer of the Week is Philippe!!!

Philippe had known about Eye Spy for a while before he ever set foot in the store. In fact, as a concierge at the Palmer House, he has often referred guests to our fine store, but never had the chance to stop by himself.

Until last week!

Philippe and our frames instantly fell in love with each other. The Anne et Valentin’s looked strong! The ic! berlins looked sleek! But it was the fun and class of this Francis Klein frame (as well as a pretty bold and nifty Theo frame) that finally won Philippe’s heart.

We think he looks awesome in his new frames and we’re super-psyched to have a new friend in Philippe!

It’s finally here! The August Sunglass Sale is in effect! For the entire month of August every single pair of sunglasses is on sale from 10%-30% off! Come on in and get that frame you’ve been dreaming of!!!

This week, our Customer of the Week is JAKE!

Jake chose a fantastic pair of Kaenon sunglasses! The lucky guy, these frames were a gift from his wife, Christina!

Check out Christina in her Maui Jims and Jake in his Kaenon frames!

If you’ve been in the store and noticed a couple of really fantastic paintings on the wall, those were done by Christina! You can check out more of her work at www.christinabody.com


We love her paintings and we love that both Christina and Jake wear awesome sunglasses that look great, but also provide exceptional sun protection. Gotta protect those eyes!
