Hello, everyone…this is Patsy, the Specs Wrangler! I am so excited to be taking over the reigns from Mary, so here it goes….
Look at these sassy Ray-Bans Kid’s sunglasses we got in this morning! Protect your kids from harmful UV-A and UV-B in style. Adorable…and functional. As we like to say, sunglasses are sunscreen for the eyes. For a sporty look, we also carry Julbo sunglasses for babies and kids 
Did you know that more light enters children’s eyes than adult’s eyes? As we age, the lens of our eye gets cloudy….which blocks out the light. So, it makes sense that kids have very clear lenses and all of the light passes through them and can do a lot of damage to the retina:-( In addition, most kids spend a *ton* more time outside than adults. By the time kids are 18 years old, they will have been exposed to 80% of their lifetime UV exposure! And while we are on the subject, it is also important to wear sunglasses when it is cloudy outside…because, as we all know, UV rays travel through clouds.
This is why it is vital to have a pair of trusty kid’s sunglasses that your son or daughter loves and will wear all the time…..and s/he can be like mommy and daddy;-)

Well, the time has come for the Specs Therapist to take flight.
After five and a half years at Eye Spy, I’m saying good-bye to the shop and I’m saying good-bye to Chicago. On Friday, I hit the road for Los Angeles (with a little detour to
GRACELAND).
Thanks for being the best customers, co-workers, and friends in town. You all have made working here a totally radical and way cool experience.
I’m gonna miss you!
