ZEAL Optics has introduced the world’s first and only plant-based lens, e-llume in their new active sunglass, the Kennedy.  With a subtle cat eye and hidden Spring Hinge, the Kennedy seamlessly transitions from the bike trail to the beach.  E-llume upholds to the highest of optical standards for quality and clarity.  Designed and crafted in Boulder, Colo., e-llume is proof that environmental initiatives are not a deterrent to an incredible optical experience. ZEAL’s engineering team has found a way to reformulate the bonding agent to eliminate crude oil and maintain a 38 Abbe value clarity. Stop in to your nearest Europtics today and try them on for yourself.

Kids-Sunglasses-UV-Protection11School is out and summer is here in full force. If you can pry the video game controllers from your children’s hands and send them outside, make sure you do so with a pair of sunglasses from Europtics. Sunglasses for kids you ask? Why? We’re glad you asked.

Did you know that the lens of your child’s eye transmits about 70% more UV radiation than do adult eyes, putting their retina at greater risk? Did you also know that the cells of the lens of our eyes are never replaced and the proteins never replenished. Kids also look up more, which means they are constantly looking up into the sun. Therefore, the sooner you protect your children’s eyes the less damage they need worry about later in life.

Kids under 10 are at a higher risk for both skin and eye damage because their eyes are more fragile, especially at our elevated altitude. At Europtics we have a great selection of affordable sunglasses for kids. Stop into one of our stores today and let us help you find some wonderful and fun sunglasses for your kids. Plus, you’ll save big during our 30th Anniversary Sale too!

We’ve all heard the old English proverb “The eyes are windows to the soul”. Did you know that your eyes are indeed windows to far more? The eyes are windows to your general health including your vascular, nervous and immune systems. Optometrists can often be the first to spot certain medical conditions through a thorough eye exam which can help you find a treatment earlier. Here is an infographic on a few early warning signs courtesy of The Wall Street Journal. Call us today to set up an eye exam for yourself.
