Get Happy: The SPY Optic Happy Lens

It’s a big world with  lots to see. For a world of adventure and activity that takes place beneath the sun’s blinding glare, SPY has taken the next step in Optic technology so you can take it all in as never before. The innovative Happy Lens™ Technology offers a first of its kind lens that’s much more than meets the eye.

On Performance and Design…
Disclaimer: No pair of sunglasses can truly create a sense of happiness. But what if your sunglasses could actually help promote better balance in the body, increase alertness and have an uplifting effect on mood?  That’s the idea behind the new SPY Happy Lens.

We all understand the importance of sporting high-quality optics that obliterate glare and harmful UV rays. But the innovative Happy Lens™ goes a step further to provide a new level of optical enjoyment.

Using the most recent scientific studies on the beneficial effects of being exposed to long-wave ‘blue light’ SPY Optic designed the first of its kind SPY Happy Lens actually maximizes the transmission of the sun’s “good” (aka the long-wave blue lightrays) – while still blocking out its “bad” rays.

For those who enjoy cozy evenings by the fire scouring the latest Scientific Journals while sipping single malt scotch, the SPY website has links to the numerous scientific bolstering the power of long-wave blue light.

For those of us that prefer our scientific material in the form of snippy YouTube videos, Spy Optic offers the following video that explains exactly why the Happy Lens technology will leave you feeling justifiably pragmatic:

As an added bonus, these polarized lenses gobble up glare and resist impact for long-wearing performance all while eliminating color confusion and upping the ante on visual clarity. Moreover, SPY’s Distortion Free Arc Lens technology won’t distort images your eyes send your brain, which is yet one more reason some of you have to find a different scapegoat for your warped world views.

Notes From the Field…
So does it actually work? Our team has been sporting a pair of the Dirty Mo and Konvoy glasses long enough to circumvent that pesky placebo period. And while we can’t scientifically verify whether or not they have an uplifting effect on mood, here’s what we can tell you. We dig these glasses. From our perspective, there’s a definitive experiential difference when we wear these shades. That’s why we look forward to wearing them every day and they’ve become part of our summer gear arsenal.

Moreover, SPY’s color contrast enhancement gave us yet another reason to appreciate these sunglasses. Unlike other lenses which let you see the world through a ‘color filter’ the contrast enhancement of these glasses ensures that  green is green, blue is blue, white is white. You actually see the true colors of the world around you.

But don’t just take our word for it.  The Happiness Guarantee let’s you experience the Happy Lens™ for yourself.  If you’re not completely satisfied SPY Optic will let you return them for a full refund – including your initial shipping charges and return shipping.

Bottom Line…
Your peepers work hard for you; give them a little love back and treat them, and yourself, to the goodness of Happy Lens technology from SPY Optic.
