The origin of Eagle Eyes® goes back to NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, where scientists developed revolutionary technology to protect human vision from the harmful effects of solar radiation. NASA researchers first turned to nature for a solution, particularly studying how eagles and hawks can distinguish their prey from the environment with extreme precision.
Their research revealed that eagles have unique oil droplets in their eyes that selectively filter harmful radiation, allowing only certain wavelengths of light to pass through, providing exceptional visual clarity even at great distances. NASA replicated this discovery into lens technology, leading to the creation of Eagle Eyes®, a leader in high-performance eyewear.

The story of Eagle Eyes® began with the discovery of the secret behind the eagle’s incredible vision, which led a team of NASA scientists to share their findings with the world. Their goal was to create a new type of revolutionary optical lenses that would not only enhance and sharpen people’s vision but also reduce glare and protect their eyes from harmful solar radiation. The result was the TriLenium® polarized lenses, which block blue light and are featured in every pair of Eagle Eyes sunglasses.
Driving undeniably becomes more dangerous at dusk, dawn, during bad weather (such as rain, snow, or fog), and even riskier after nightfall. Although motorists only spend a quarter of their driving time at night, it is when fifty percent of fatal accidents occur. In fact, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the number of road fatalities triples after sunset.
