PeakVision Donates Sunglasses for Salvation Army Volunteers Assisting Hurricane Katrina Victims
(September 14th 2005) Clean-up Tasks Call For High-Performance Vision and Eye Protection
(OVERLAND PARK, Kansas) – PeakVision Sports today announces the donation of its high-performance, patented Dual-Zone eyewear to Salvation Army volunteers assisting in recovery and clean-up efforts in New Orleans and Gulf Coast areas affected by Hurricane Katrina.
Known worldwide for its golf-specific lenses, PeakVision is working closely with Salvation Army headquarters in Kansas City to provide over $40,000 worth of product to volunteers on the scene. Salvation Army officials determined PeakVision eyewear’s technological advantages and superior engineering would greatly benefit its volunteers.
Though primarily designed for sports performance, PeakVision sunglasses meet or exceed all relevant safety requirements for ANSI Z80.3 standards while providing 100 percent UV400 protection. Volunteers will also benefit from the material used in PeakVision Sports lenses – a revolutionary optical polymer that offers superior optical clarity and uniformity, scratch resistance, chemical resistance, durability and is ultra-light weight and 100 percent distortion-free.
To provide additional support for disaster relief efforts, PeakVision’s website, www.peakvisionsports.com , contains a link to The Salvation Army National Headquarters website, www.salvationarmyusa.org. PeakVision customers can easily and seamlessly make a financial contribution to the organization’s hurricane relief fund by clicking on the unobtrusive pop-up window.
“It is imperative volunteers’ vision be optimized and protected when performing vision-critical activities impacting victims’ lives,” says Paul Moore, CEO of PeakVision Sports. “PeakVision is honored to have the opportunity to help those in need and those who are assisting them.”

About PeakVision Sports
The first major innovation in golfer-sunglass technology in more than 40 years, PeakVision Sports’ high-performance eyewear represents a radical step in optical design and manufacturing. The vast majority of sunglasses since the 1960s have had single-filter, polycarbonate lenses incapable of properly distinguishing between the bright hues of the horizon and sky and the dark hues of terrain and landscape.
A paradigm-shifting breakthrough in sunglass design, PeakVision’s innovative Dual-Zone lenses feature neutral-density gray tinting in the upper zone that reduces glare and allows for accurate distance perception. The amber-tuned color in the lower zone highlights the contours of the green for better reads of putts than with the naked eye. Incorporating these two filters into one lens allows golfers to clearly distinguish between the turf and the sky to create optimal visual acuity.
The material used in PeakVision Sports lenses is a revolutionary optical polymer that offers superior optical clarity and uniformity, scratch resistance, durability and ultra-light weight compared to polycarbonate. This material is the latest technology, originally developed for the windscreens in military helicopters.
The NXT material used in PeakVision Sports lenses is a revolutionary optical polymer that offers superior optical clarity and uniformity, scratch resistance, durability and ultra-light weight compared to polycarbonate. NXT is the latest and finest optical glass that is used in high-end cameras and Apache helicopter windscreens.
PeakVision eyewear also provides 100 percent UV400 protection from the entire spectrum of dangerous UV radiation.
The company has introduced seven distinct, stylish models for 2005: Classic, Chip, Cyber, Neva, Shot, Slam, and Spin. All models are available in a variety of stylish finishes including matte and polished black, matte and polished tortoise, polished graphite and metallic silver. MSRPs: Classic ($129), Chip ($149), Cyber ($209), Neva ($139), Shot ($149), Slam ($149), and Spin ($119).
