2021: A New Year and a New Outlook on Life

2021: A New Year and a New Outlook on Life

Happy New Year! If 2020 taught us anything, it’s that simplifying life can greatly enhance it. We’ve learned to slow down (a bit) and take things in stride and not sweat the small stuff (so much). Often it’s the small stuff that causes the most stress in our daily lives. But, in our family, we understand that when life gets hectic, that’s the time to simplify.

Most of us wear prescription lenses and after plenty of instances of forgetting or breaking other Rx sun solutions, we looked for a way to effectively eliminate the need to remember, carry or pack additional eyewear. Before now, the best options have been fitover sunglasses, cover-ups, flip-ups, transition style glasses or prescription sunglasses, but none are that simple to use or affordable. Fitover sunglasses are bulky, awkward to position and uncomfortable to layer on top of your everyday glasses.

While flip-ups and clip-ons are more affordable than coverups, they are typically made of cheaper materials, they break and they don’t offer the best protection for your eyes. Prescription sunglasses or transition style lenses offer great sun protection, but both come with a hefty cost and just like fitovers, you still have to remember to pack them.


For us, spontaneity is the secret ingredient to the best outdoor adventures, so none of these options met the standard we were looking for...So we created a new one.

EyKuver’s patent-pending film protects from glare and harmful UV rays and the ultra-thin design easily tucks into your pocket, purse or wallet until you need it. It’s durable, disposable and won’t damage or scratch your everyday RX lenses. What we love most, hands down, is the convenience. It’s fun to be able to instantly transform your everyday prescription eyewear into prescription sunglasses. Just peel, stick and go. It’s that simple!

We always encourage our customers to purchase several 3-packs, and give them a few solid tries to experience the benefits. Stash them anywhere you foresee yourself needing sunglasses. We stash EyKuver in our cars, wallets, purses, backpacks and jacket pockets, so we can stay focused on what’s most important: living a stress-free, active life.

People are starting to take notice of EyKuver, a new product offering instant ultraviolet and sun glare protection for prescription eyeglass wearers, and the Steamboat Pilot is no different. In this in-depth article, the Steamboat Pilot speaks with EyKuver founder, Marcus Boggs, and goes into detail about how the idea for EyKuver came to fruition. Boggs goes on to share how this product will revolutionize sun and glare UV protection for anyone wearing RX glasses and why eye protection really is a matter of convenience.  

EyKuver is a portable and affordable pre-cut eyeglass cling that is offered in two sizes,  fitting most prescription glasses on the market. Each package includes either a blue or a grey tinted film for each lens and is slim enough to fit in a jacket pocket, purse or even a wallet. What’s more, the patent-pending film won’t damage or scratch your existing lenses. The concept is simple but the end result is a radical new approach to sun protection for prescription eyeglass wearers. 

Until now, most sun solutions marketed to prescription eyeglass wearers were expensive, cumbersome, bulky, easy to break or easy to forget. EyKuver is changing that with its sleek design that is both affordable and portable. You can stash EyKuver in your car, backpack, purse, pocket, golf, beach or bike bag for instantaneous protection from the sun’s harmful rays. 

Even if you don’t wear prescription glasses, but are at an age where you need reading glasses, you might enjoy the convenience of EyKuver. Reading at the park or on the beach no longer has to be a struggle, or a choice between being able to read the fine print and protecting your eyes. Simply press EyKuver onto the outside of your reading glasses and the tinted film instantly transforms your readers into sunglasses. 

Born from Boggs' fascination with products that simplify everyday life and his deep roots in medical manufacturing, EyKuver offers brand new technology in protective eyewear that is improving the view for prescription eyeglass wearers everywhere.

Inspiration often lurks in unusual places. Roald Dahl said we should “... watch with glittering eyes the whole world around because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.”  Luckily, at EyKuver, we believe in magic and innovation and staying open to possibilities.
