SPY®, creators of the therapeutic Happy Lens™, which harnesses the beneficial effects of long-wave blue light, is on its way to Las Vegas to debut new sunglass and optical styles during the Vision Expo West eyecare industry event. Attendees who connect with SPY during the show (booth #16106) will be able to see firsthand the brand’s latest frames that balance its decidedly West Coast heritage with both classic and contemporary style.
In addition to showcasing three new eyeglass styles during Vision Expo West, SPY will also have on display four new sunglasses, which come standard with SPY’s patent-pending Happy Lens technology, and for prescription wearers, can also be fitted with SPY’s Happy Rx sunglass lenses. Each new frame is constructed using premium, handmade acetate, supplemented with a combination of aluminum alloy or stainless steel in some instances. In addition to a stunning assortment of black, tort, and gunmetal variations, SPY incorporated trend-forward color arrangements into select frames, including an assortment of blues, blondes, and translucent hues.
