Mood-Enhancing Eyewear

'The Happy Lens' Sunglasses Lets Happiness Shine Through Them

— March 15, 2014 — Tech
SPY Optics' latest sunglass technology, 'The Happy Lens,' will help turn your squint into a smile. According to the active eyewear company, sunlight gives off both good and bad rays to our eyes. These glasses allow the good light (long-wave blue rays) to reach our eyes while still blocking the bad light (UV rays.) The best part: those "good" long-wave blue rays promote balance in the body and creates uplifted moods.

Not only does the light enhance your mood, but so does the wide-range of lens colors. Each of the six uniquely colored lenses are designed in favor of specific outdoor activities. For example, the 'Happy Bronze' lens increases contrast and color for isolated activities like fishing, while the 'Green Spectra' lens offers soothing effects when exposed to green surroundings like a golf course.

The 'Happy Lens' is definitely a game-changer for the sunglasses industry. It's guaranteeing happiness at a price of around $130 and strongly believes in making us "feel better and see better" simultaneously.

Industry Implications
