As we pay close attention to our Farmer’s Almanacs and check weather.com daily for any sign of snow in the future, we at Eye Spy know that winter is right around the corner.
So why, you may ask, are we getting all giddy and hyper over sunglasses?
Because, the sun’s rays shine bright whether we like it or not and the glare off that snow and ice that is on its way is gonna beBRIGHT!
So, to get ready for the winter glare and shine, we have a TON of new Maui Jim frames in stock!
They’re all polarized so driving on those winter roads will be a little easier on the eyes when the sun hits the ice and snow.
They’re also pretty.
We can’t wait to outfit our Eye Spy customers in these Maui Jim frames!
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!Come in next weekend for the LAFONT Trunk Show on Saturday, November 20 from 11-5!
And
if, during the month of November, you bring canned food for donation to Lakeview Pantry, we will take$25 off your complete Rx eyewear purchase.
Here at Eye Spy, we pride ourselves on carrying frames in the funkiest colors in town.
But, we also know that many of our customers are not quite ready for lime green frames.
So, we’d like to tell you about Special Orders.
The majority of our frames are available in six to twelve colors. We always have two or three of those colors in stock, but we have the availability of the entire repertoire of our designers at our fingertips and we are happy to order in any frame for our customers to see.
Take Anne et Valentin, for instance. This frame is gorgeous in green:
But what if you like the blue?
With a deposit of 50% of the cost of the Anne et Valentin frame, we can order your dream color so that you can try it on and make sure you like it in that particular hue. If you don’t like the frame, the deposit becomes a store credit that you can use toward another eyewear purchase.
Francis Klein is a small, family-owned company, like the majority of our lines. They make all of their fabulous frames with various options for decoration, including frames without any embellishment. They can also make any Francis Klein frame in *any* color from their current collection.
Yes. You can pick any Francis Klein color and they will make your favorite Francis Klein frame in your selected color. It takes 6-8 weeks (good things come to those who wait!), but at the end of that short little 2-month gestation, you will have a one-of-a-kind frame. Marvelous.
So if you like this frame:
But want it in red, like this frame: No problem!
Each eyewear line has their own protocol regarding special orders. Here at Eye Spy, we know most every frame in stock, as well as the various color and design options for these frames, like the backs of our hands. In addition, most of our designers have online catalogs that we will gladly peruse with you in order to find that perfect marriage of style and color. We can’t wait to help you find or create your perfect pair of simply spectacular specs!!

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 video is pretty awesome and is all about optical illusions!
