Review of Eagle Eyes Sunglasses

This post is a review of Eagle Eyes sunglasses. Read about the polarized TriLenium lenses technology, and what I think about the design and quality of the three pairs, and the styling options.

Disclosure: Ad. The sunglasses are sample of my husband’s and my choice from Eagle Eyes®. The post is not endorsed by them. I wrote it entirely myself and it represents my own 100% honest opinion.

Eagle Eyes Aviator Sunglasses: Space technology for Jane and John Doe

When I heard that Eagle Eyes® lenses were developed from original NASA optic technology and that this space technology is certified by the Space Foundation for UV and blue light eye protection, I was hooked. Ever since my childhood I admired everything NASA. Maybe it was the first Moon landing or NASA’s motto

Failure is not an option. – Gene Kranz

when discussing how to get Apollo 13 back to Earth or him saying

This is NASA’s finest hour. – Gene Kranz

after James A. Lovell, John L. Swigert and Fred W. Haise returned safely to Earth.

Therefore, when asked to review Eagle Eyes® men’s sunglasses I got really excited. I immediately asked my husband to model them and he said “Yes”.

Sunglasses with Lenses Made for Astronauts

NASA had developed the technology of TriLenium® lenses as an eye protection for their astronauts. When travelling thru space astronauts are exposed to the full spectrum of solar radiation. On the contrary, when the Sun’s radiation reaches the Earth’s surface, atmospheric gases have already filtered out many (but not all) of the harmful rays.

How Do Polarized TriLenium Lenses Work?

All shades of the collection have TriLenium Lens Technology. The Sun’s ray come at various wavelength. When you see a rain bow, you can some of the different wavelengths. The raindrops split the light into its wavelengths. Ultra violet has the shortest wavelengths. Next come violet, blue violet, blue, blue green, green, green yellow, yellow, orange yellow, orange, orange red, red, dark red, and infra-red.

You can’t see the ultra-violet (UV) rays. But these rays of very short wavelength are the ones that harm our vision. You can’t see infra-red (IR) either. It has very long wavelengths.

The TriLenium technology blocks 99.9% of the UV and harmful blue and violet radiation thanks to its triple polarization (UVA/UVB/blue light). As a result, only the light from the green to red range of the spectrum that are important for your vision, will reach your eyeballs. Consequently, you can see the world around you more vividly with higher contrast and sharper definition than you would with non-polarized eyewear that just darkens the incoming sunlight.

Why Would You Like these TriLenium® Lenses

When you are a hiker or are involved in mountaineering, you are at high elevation. When you climb North America’s highest mountain, Denali 20,310 ft (6190.49 m), more than half of the atmospheric mass is already below that altitude.

Commercial passenger jets cruise at heights above 10 km altitude to avoid turbulence from high convection. On west-to-east flights, they may fly at even higher altitudes to use the jet streams as tail wind (to save fuel). These high-speed wind bands are about 16 km above sea-level. At this height, already 90% of the atmospheric mass is traversed. This means here, even more harmful radiation exists.

Tip: When you love your window seat, these TriLenium® lenses are great to protect your eyes.

Review of Eagle Eyes Aviator Sunglasses

My husband picked the Classic Aviator SM. Its eternal classic frame works with business attire, any personal style, and his small face shape. The aviator is made from stainless steel with soft temple tips and adjustable silicon-gel nose pads (see close-ups).

When the package arrived a week of constant rain postponed his wearing them. August dressing in Alaska means dressing for the rain season. Finally, the cloud cover broke. You see his smile donning his aviators.

Review of Eagle Eyes Women Sunglasses: Bianca and Celeste

I picked the Bianca because this frame is the perfect for outfits for running errands around town. The Celeste looks cute, but sophisticated, nerdy, i.e., it’s so me.

Cleaner, Cleaning Cloths, Screw-Driver

The eyewear comes with a cleanser in a pump-spray can, cleaning cloths, and screwdriver. Due to daily wear-and-tear, frames of all kind of glasses often have a loose screw loose. This tool saves you the trips to the optician’s shop in the future. You can attach the screwdriver to your key chain.

Who Would Like these Sunglasses?

These TriLenium® lenses permit you to “benefit” from taxpayers’ money invested in the development of space-safe lenses that meet the rigorous criteria of the Space Foundation. You don’t need to love space science to love these lenses. You just need to love yourself and want the best eye protection there is. Even when you just love fashion and cool stylish classic sunglasses you can’t go wrong with these sunnies. I definitely recommend Eagle Eyes eyewear to my friends because their lenses are best eye protection out there.

Did you know that wet surfaces, very light surfaces like white roofs, beaches and snow reflect also the harmful (for the eyes) radiation? Therefore, wear eye protection also in fall, winter and spring.

And yes, these aviators also look great on women pilots. So why not on you? You can buy these beauties and many other great styles with NASA technology lenses at Eagle Eyes.

Fun fact: TriLenium® has been inducted into the Space Foundation Technology Hall of Fame.

Price-Performance Ratio

Eagle Eyes sunglasses come in incredibly stylish choices and the price is really affordable. The pair picked by my husband comes in gray/silver and gold/brown. It costs only $79.95!
