We have made a commitment into exposing the typically unhealthy margins in optical, and making it okay for people to look "baller" on a budget. It's cool to spend less than $100 and still have an amazing pair of glasses... TRUST.
]]>Going onto two years as an actual company (WOOOO)! We have been as resourceful as possible, in sourcing the proper materials for our eyewear, and our lenses. We have made a commitment into exposing the typically unhealthy margins in optical, and making it okay for people to look "baller" on a budget. It's cool to spend less than $100 and still have an amazing pair of glasses... TRUST.
Yeah you saw it right. Replacement lenses starting at only $59... And Multi-Focal Prescription Lenses starting at $129. IT'S MADNESS.

Do NOT listen to "opticians" that try and sell you as hard is Spongebob is right there... They are clearly being dishonest, or are just plainly ignorant of the anatomy/physiology of eyes.
Blue light impacts our Circadian Rhythym - which is basically the common cycle that our bodies follow on a daily basis... Helping our brains dictate when we're awake, when we should start to shut down for sleep, or when we should be at our peak performance. So technically from the time you wake up you can expose yourself to blue light! However, it's when the sun goes away (our natural provider of blue light) is when it gets tricky. As technology evolves, the screens we use tend to project a certain amount of blue light. This when coupled with the fact that it is almost bed time (in most cases, depending on how much of a party animal you are), will throw off your circadian rhythm, and could lead to things like insomnia!
Now what you should definitely do is look into investing into a pair of A) blue light, B) Getting your eyes checked, and getting prescription specs, or C) Getting Eyezen™ lenses from us when they release! They offer a slight magnification, and blue light protection in every lens. This lessens your eyes from straining on our computer monitors (FONT SIZE IS IN PLAY HERE NOT ONLY BLUE LIGHT).

Now, why does this happen to be the organization in which we want to give our help to?
Well, it’s simple. We are a company that is inclined in continuing the affordable eyeglass trend but doing it in a completely different level – reducing costs, and therefore reducing the prices for our customers as well. People should not have to go broke for vision, as it is not a luxury. The Himalayan Cataract Project fights an issue that still sadly plagues the world to this day. Millions of people every year go blind, and most of them only do so because they are not given the proper medical care. With The Himalayan Cataract Project sending a group of doctors to the Himalayas, and other neighboring developing/impoverished countries to perform cataract surgeries to the many people suffering from the preventable eye illness. Cataracts should not be responsible for blinding people in the 21st century, and we are supporting this organization with our community!
