At Lucia Eyes, our story is one of resilience, discovery, and a mission to make a difference. We are a small, family-owned business driven by a passion for protecting health and well-being through innovative eyewear.
It all began during a challenging chapter of our lives. In 2008, when the mortgage banking crisis hit, I was working as a mortgage banker, and within three years, our family faced financial ruin. By 2011, we had lost everything and had to move into a rental house. I took a job in the oil business, which brought a welcome change, but soon after, my health began to decline.
I experienced a cascade of symptoms: weight gain, high blood pressure, headaches, sinus infections, brain fog, fatigue, sleep apnea, and more. My children faced their own health struggles, and my wife suffered a miscarriage. Despite visiting numerous doctors, we were left without answers, hearing dismissive responses like “you’re perfectly healthy” or “it’s all in your head.”
Everything changed in 2015 when we discovered that our house was contaminated with black mold after flooding. Leaving behind most of our possessions, we embarked on a three-and-a-half-year journey to reclaim our health, discovering that blocking harmful blue light was one of the critical factors.
Why Blue Light Matters
Blue light exposure from screens, LED lighting, and other artificial sources can be harmful, especially for children. Research shows that blue light can disrupt sleep patterns, strain the eyes, and even contribute to long-term vision problems. Children are particularly vulnerable because their eyes are more sensitive to blue light, and they are increasingly exposed through digital devices and classroom lighting. At Lucia Eyes, we believe in protecting not just adults but also our younger generation from these harmful effects with our high-quality, stylish blue light blocking glasses.
Our experience led us to start Lucia Eyes, offering blue light blocking glasses designed to protect health and well-being. Initially, getting our kids to wear the generic blue light glasses from Amazon was a struggle, so we decided to create our own – stylish, comfortable, and effective.
As we grew, our mission expanded beyond just eyewear. In 2022, we learned that suicide had become one of the leading causes of death among youth aged 10 to 25. Motivated to help, we added a nonprofit initiative to Lucia Eyes, aiming to provide blue light blocking glasses to underprivileged kids while also addressing mental health challenges. Today, most of our net profits go toward supporting HopeChain.com <http://hopechain.com/> , an anti-suicide nonprofit dedicated to helping young people overcome anxiety and depression.
Your support helps us provide solutions for healthier living and mental wellness. By purchasing our glasses or supporting our cause, you help bring hope and protection to those who need it most.
