QUOTE:
“SPY has been a longtime champion of the Surfrider Foundation and they are now taking their support to another level,” says Dr. Chad Nelson, CEO of Surfrider Foundation. “The new SPY + Surfrider Frazier is designed to raise both awareness and support for Surfrider’s work to reduce plastic pollution in the ocean. The Frazier is built using eco-friendly materials and the design references nurdles—a plastic by-product found on beaches worldwide.”
HAPPY LENS:
SPY’s color and contrast enhancing Happy Lens is the first and only lens technology designed to allow in the sun’s “good” rays (long-wave blue light) that studies suggest create an uplift in mood and alertness, while still blocking the sun’s “bad” rays (short-wave blue light and UV rays). Research indicates that exposure through the eyes to these “good rays” brings about a number of positive physiological changes, including elevated mood and increased alertness. Similar technology is used by lighting manufacturers in products designed to help with Seasonal Affective Disorder. SPY has a patent pending on this “therapeutic eyewear” and is the only eyewear company with this advanced technology.
