Itʼs estimated that 40,000 Americans receive eye injuries while participating in sports every year. This is a sobering statistic, especially considering that studies have shown that 90% of eye injuries could have been prevented simply by wearing protective eyewear. These are just some of the reasons why Wiley X, Inc. continues to support Sports Eye Safety Month, an annual effort each April to educate and inform the American public about the dangers of sports related eye injuries and the proper use of protective eyewear. “The fact of the matter is, your eyes are at risk anytime you participate in sports — on the field, on the court or in the outdoors,” said Wiley X Co-Owner Myles Freeman, “Even sports not normally considered ʻdangerousʼ — such as tennis, soccer or golf — can result in serious injury if protective eyewear isnʼt worn. And outdoor activities like mountain biking, skateboarding and beach volleyball pose their own unique risks to eye health. The risks to oneʼs eyes may be varied, but the solution is the same — wear protective glasses to protect your precious gift of vision,” added Freeman. Fortunately, sports enthusiasts today have a variety of premium...

A bold Essential frame from ProDesign, with an optimistic, sporty look. This collection is an intentional contrast to the classic sharp design of the Essential line. The designer has played with colors and material and the brushed temples give a high performance feel and are great to touch and wear. The color scheme is very playful which gives a dynamic expression and a beautiful flow between the front and the temples. The collection has the characteristic handmade line all along the edge of the front, which is a special ProDesign trade. This cool, little detail is emphasized by the fact that the fronts are cut off at the hinges instead of bending around the corner to meet the temple. The frames are an fantastic mix between two materials. The firmness of the raw titanium combined with the skin-friendly, flexible and soft rubber acetate of the end-tips. What’s so unique about this collection is the exact color match between the acetate end tips and titanium fronts. They look like they were carved from one single material and such uniformity is hard to accomplish. 5 shapes 4-6 colors each, 2 feminine shapes, 2 masculine and one unisex For more information please call us or visit our...
