sunlightSummer is here and now is the time to protect the only set of eyes you have from the sun’s harmful rays. Most people are aware of the dangerous effects ultraviolet (UV) rays have on their skin, but many people don’t realize the damaging effects these UV rays have on their eyes. UV radiation, whether from natural sunlight or artificial UV rays, can damage the eye’s surface tissues as well as the cornea and lens. UV radiation can burn the front surface of the eye, similar to sunburn on the skin. Extended exposure to the sun’s UV rays has been linked to eye damage, including cataracts, macular degeneration, pingueculae, pterygia and photokeratitis (snow blindness) that can cause temporary vision loss. Short of becoming nocturnal, the best way to protect your eyes is to wear sunglasses that block 100% of UV Rays. All of the sunglasses we carry block 100% of harmful UV Rays and right now we want to celebrate lifelong vision health by offering 20% off all sunglasses! Simply enter the coupon code “Ultraviolet” at the checkout and you will receive 20% off the shades of your choice. Be smart, you only get one set of eyes!

Dragon-Sunglasses-Logo-X250[1]All Dragon Sunglasses are designed with safety and durability in mind. Only the highest quality frame materials are used to ensure a bio-technical, symbiotic relationship with the wearer. Our optics also provided an important safety barrier, by providing an impenetrable shield for harmful UV radiation and the reduction of Glare. For added safety on all our nylon frames, the optics are front-loaded into the lens channel of the frame using a custom mounting process available only from Dragon Sunglasses

Spy Sunglasses – Historyspyoptics
Spy Sunglasses goal is to consistently push the limits of design and technology in eyewear, and now we are bringing this same philosophy to softgoods. This new commitment is highlighted in the Spy Sunglasses featured seasonal collections. The RAD collection for summer and the ROCK collection for fall.

Spy Sunglasses is based in north county San Diego, just minutes from perfect surf, legendary skate parks, and a short drive to the mountains. Taking advantage of our location, Spy Sunglasses employees regularly surf, skate, wakeboard, motocross, mountain bike, and snowboard. We are the ultimate free-spirited company, mixing assorted eclectic organic and technological elements of design with action sports and pop culture.

Spy Sunglasses invests heavily in research and development and regularly develops technical product with action sports’ best athletes: surfers Keith and Chris Malloy, Keala Kennelly, snowboarders Mark Frank Montoya and Todd Richards, skateboarders Rob Dyrdek and Danny Way. Spy Sunglasses also has motocross legends Kevin Windham and Jeremy McGrath, BMX riders Jamie Bestwick and Cory Nastazio, Wakeboarders Parks Bonifay and Danny Harf, and MTB athletes Sam Hill and Chris Kovarik.

Every color fade on Spy Sunglasses is hand-painted by an Italian artisan. In addition, every logo on an optical product is hand-painted or hand set as well.

Maui Jim Sunglasses – History

Posted in Maui Jim Sunglasses, Sunglass Review on 06/05/2009 09:24 pm by Shoreline of Tahoe

maui-jim2Centuries ago, early Hawaiians followed the rhythm of the waves and the position of the sun to get from island to island. Today, this wayfaring, is kept alive by Hawaiians who still believe the sun can guide them in their journeys. At Maui Jim Sunglasses, we also take our cues from the sun. We’re experts in finding ways to reveal all the colors of a sun-centered lifestyle, while protecting you from the effects of harsh glare. The Maui Jim Sunglasses destination is a place of beauty you’ve never seen before.

The Maui Jim Sunglasses PolarizedPlus technology was born from this sun-centered lifestyle. No other sunglass offers the same level of visual acuity, protection and color enhancement as the technology in Maui Jim Sunglasses. Maui Jim answers the ancient challenge of glare like no one else. Three elements in the Maui Jim Sunglasses multi-layer PolarizedPlus lens design ensure a complete solution to glare. With glare out of the way, more usable light is transmitted to the eyes for the best visual acuity, contrast and color.

The Maui Jim Stainless Steel Collection features a rimless design and hinge system that brings together style and performance in one tight package. It’s perfect for those who prefer lightweight Maui Jim Sunglasses in a sturdy frame package with a rimless design and hinge system and superior optics.

The Flexon frame on the Maui Jim Sunglasses is made from a bendable “memory” metal. This frame is lighter and keeps its shape longer than traditional metal frames.

Consider your Nose when picking out Sunglasses

Posted in Sunglasses 101 on 05/12/2009 07:47 pm by Shoreline of Tahoe

Although the face shape is essential you do not want to overlook the shape of the nose. Large Nose-Large oversized frames are best suited to help balance out the face.  A smaller frame will emphasize the nose. Long Nose-Frames with higher arms will draw attention toward the temples and away from the nose. Adding a double bridge will also help a nose appear shorter. Small Nose-A higher bridge in addition to a  lighter color frame will appear to lengthen a shorter nose.
