FAQ EVERYTHING YOU WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT THE SPY HAPPY LENS™ Q: WHAT IS THE HAPPY LENS™? A: The all new, patent-pending SPY Happy Lens™ fuses SPY’s years of optics design experience with a large and growing body of scientific research to redefine lens innovation. SPY’s Happy Lens is the only lens technology designed to maximize the best transmission of the sun’s “good” rays (specific long-wave blue light), while still blocking out its “bad” rays (UV and short-wave blue light). Additionally, the SPY Happy Lens™ is polarized and has color and contrast enhancements that are so clear you can feel the difference. In short, the SPY Happy Lens™ helps you not only SEE BETTER, but FEEL BETTER. Q: WHAT ARE “GOOD” RAYS, AND WHAT DO THEY DO? A: The “good” rays are a specific type of long-wave blue light. Exposure to the “good” rays has been shown to help align the human body’s rhythm with its natural preference for specific color and wavelengths, fostering positive changes that can help harmonize our body. The “good” rays essentially create a positive physiological “uplift” in mood and alertness. Q: HOW DOES THE HAPPY LENS™ WORK? A: The innovative SPY Happy Lens™ is designed with a special, proprietary lens curve that transmits a specific maximized amount of “good” rays while still blocking the “bad.” The SPY Happy Lens™ lets you SEE BETTER by providing the ultimate viewing experience—a crisp, color and contrast-enhancing lens with Trident™ polarization technology to block the sun’s harmful rays, while providing an unrivaled visual experience that taps into the body’s natural desire of the “good” rays. These “good” rays not only help create this vivid visual experience, they have a lasting positive impact on the body that can be felt after the lenses have been taken off… FEEL BETTER. Q: IS THE SPY HAPPY LENS™ BETTER THAN A POLARIZED LENS? A: Yes! It’s like polarized lenses on steroids! The SPY Happy Lens™ not only features our patent-pending Happy Lens™ technology, it has Trident® polarization and color and contrast-enhancement so clear you can see the difference. Literally! Q: ISN’T BLUE LIGHT HARMFUL TO OUR EYES? A: “Bad” light waves—which include Ultraviolet (UV) and High Energy Visible (HEV)/short-wave blue light—have been linked to several sunlight-related eye diseases, such as development and progression of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a degenerative disease of the retina for which there is currently no cure. On the other side of the light spectrum, studies have shown that a specific range of long-wave blue light (the “good” rays) promotes balance in the body. More specifically, research has suggested that exposure to the range of good long-wave blue light helps create a positive physiological “uplift” in mood and alertness. Q: IS THE SPY HAPPY LENS™ FOR EVERYONE? A: Yes! Once we tapped into the science behind the sun’s “good” rays, we realized that the technology of allowing in the maximum amount possible would be beneficial to virtually anyone who wears sunglasses. The SPY Happy Lens™ technology was born of our desire to help people SEE BETTER and FEEL BETTER. Q: WHAT OTHER INDUSTRIES UTILIZE THIS TECHNOLOGY? A: Studies on the benefits of the sun’s “good” rays have inspired other products based on these scientific findings. Special light bulbs that recreate the “good” rays are currently being marketed to help “alleviate the symptoms of winter blues,” stating their “energy light produces a particular kind of blue light that occurs naturally on very sunny, clear days. Special receptors in the eyes absorb this blue light which makes you feel energetic whenever you need it.” Specific long-wave blue light is used to treat Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), whereby light boxes are used to expose patients to certain wavelengths. Windowpanes in offices and homes are now able to be made with panes that let in some “happy” light. The Happy Lens™ is the only sunglass that addresses the benefits of the “good” rays by allowing the maximal balanced amount to transmit through its patent-pending lens curve. Q: WOULDN’T I GET MORE “GOOD” RAYS IF I DON’T WEAR HAPPY LENS™ SUNGLASSES AT ALL? A: Of course, but you would also get all the “bad” rays that the Happy Lens™ blocks out. The bad rays can cause macular degeneration to your eyes.
