Our CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK this week is SHELDON!
Sheldon came to us looking for a round tortoise frame a la William Gibson:
I’m William Gibson, I wrote Neuromancer.
We liked the inspiration of a round frame for Sheldon, but we knew he could pull off something a little bolder. He looks *great* in this frame from the Anne et Valentin Factory series.
makin’ Gibson jealous
Not only is this a great look, but the frame itself is nice and strong with reinforced hinges. The design of the frame is really special, with edges hand cut to give the sides multiple angles.
Great choice, Sheldon, and congratulations on being our CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!

Now that you have awesome new glasses, what are you going to do with all those old specs?
Whatcha gonna do?!
1) Be a responsible glasses-wearer and keep one pair as a back-up!
2) Bring the rest to Eye Spy!
Eye Spy Optical is sponsoring a campaign to collect used eyeglasses, jewelry, and hearing aids!
The donated glasses and other items will be sent to New Eyes for the Needy, a non-profit volunteer organization whose mission is to improve the vision of poor children, adults and seniors in the United States and throughout the world.
Last year, New Eyes paid for new prescription eyeglasses for 5,945 needy residents of the U.S. In addition, over 200,000 pairs of recycled eyeglasses were sorted, tested and shipped to medical missions and international charitable organizations in 24 developing nations.
For additional information, visit their website at www.neweyesfortheneedy.org. We have a collection box in our store located at 3350 N. Lincoln Ave. in Chicago
We also have collection boxes at the Lakeview YMCA on Marshfield and at Wishbone at Lincoln and School.

Wow, it was a tough choice this week! Everyone had big smiles not only because of their awesome new specs! But also because (even though it’s been cold and windy) the sun came out this week!
After a difficult deliberation process and many long hours in the judges room, we have decided upon a CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK! So, congratulations to JOHN P!
John chose a classic frame by Lafont. It is part of their reedition series of frames. Classic shapes made modern with improved materials and manufacturing.
Don’t they make his blue eyes BLUE?!
Congratulations, John!

Yes, it is true….we are trend-setters here at Eye Spy….even in the fashion capital of Paris! Last year, we gave away Eye Spy canvas tote bags for Earth Day, designed by our former employee and artist extraordinaire, Amanda Browder. Now, this bag is highlighted in a Paris fashion blog, as part of a fashionable ensemble…”un sac Eyespyoptical.”
See the full story, en Francais, HERE.
This was a limited edition bag, so they are all spoken for…but Earth Day is in a few weeks, so look out for this year’s new eye-catching design:-)
