March 1, 2013 – EYE PRO, Inc., world leader in eyewear and makers of WINK-EASE, VIEWkeepers, Fresh-Ease, and Wink-Ease Dark, is helping educate salons on the importance of proper eye protection.

“We love to help salons educate their customers on proper eye protection. Salons want to make sure their customers are using the correct protection for each specific salon treatment,” said EYE PRO President Brenda Fishbaugh.  “As a salon owner/employee, it’s very important that you make sure you pay attention to the details,” she continued.

Fishbaugh recommends Wink-Ease Dark eye protection for red light sessions because its dark material helps with the extreme bright lights. Fishbaugh also recommends original Wink-Ease and Viewkeeper disposable eye protection products as “fantastic for regular and high pressure tanning.”

November 1, 2012 – EYE PRO, Inc., world leader in eyewear and makers of WINK-EASE, VIEWkeepers, Fresh-Ease, and Wink-Ease Dark, has joined the new business movement to operate as a virtual office.

“Just like all businesses, we are always looking for ways to cut costs and operate more efficiently,” says Brenda Fishbaugh, EYE PRO president for 22 years. “With constant technological advances and our how our business is structured, taking our business from brick-and-mortar to a virtual environment makes perfect sense,” Fishbaugh continued.

“The entire change should be transparent to our customers,” says Jackie DeWald, EYE PRO office manager. “Our great delivery response, phone service, and access will be uninterrupted, and our customers will still see us at the trade shows,” DeWald expains. EYE PRO products will continue to ship from our manufacturing site in Michigan, and all phone numbers and emails are the same.  Only the EYE PRO mailing address will change during this transition.

The new EYE PRO mailing address is EYE PRO, Inc., 429 E Dupont Road #252, Fort Wayne, Indiana 46825 and is effective November 1, 2012.  Please note that the fax number is no longer in service, as most businesses email instead of fax.

November 1, 2012 – EYE PRO, Inc., world leader in eyewear and makers of WINK-EASE, VIEWkeepers, Fresh-Ease, and Wink-Ease Dark, has updated its award-winning training.  The 30-minute training covers all aspects of eye protection, including the new FDA recommendations for eye protection for sunless and FDA recommendations for red light therapy.
“Our new training ‘Surviving the Eyewear Jungle’  is designed for salons to train their staff on how to convince customers to wear eye protection while tanning, as well as covering all aspects of eye protection when changing lamps, getting a sunless spray or using red light therapy,” explained Brenda Fishbaugh, EYE PRO president.

“We call the training ‘survival training’ — because it’s a jungle out there – and you need tips to help you survive!” said Jackie DeWald, EYE PRO office manager.  “We offer a dozen survival tips to the salon staff who is unsure of how to survive all the aspects of cleaning eyewear, state laws and selling goggles,” she continued.  “I predict salons will LOVE it!”

Each salon completing the training will receive educational materials to support the information learned online.  Included is EYE PRO’s 8-page “Indoor Tanner’s Guide to Eye Protection” with a color vision test, information on losing night vision and how to avoid raccoon eyes.  Also included — a laminated counter mat showing eight types of eye damage possible from tanning without properly cleaned eyewear to convince tanners of the necessity of wearing eye protection. Lastly, salons will receive samples of EYE PRO’s award-winning Wink-Ease and Viewkeepers disposable eye protection, as well as Wink-Ease Dark for Red Light Therapy, and Fresh-Ease Refreshing Cloths for After Tanning — to eliminate that “jungle” smell after you tan.

To take EYE PRO’s training, all you will need is high-speed internet and 30 minutes.  Go to EyePro.net, and click the “Free Salon Training” button on the right hand side of the website on the home page.
