Apollo-7 Astronaut Walter Cunningham Joins Eagle Eyes® in 2009-10 Space Campaign
 May 2009; Calabasas, CA….EAGLE EYES OPTICS, located in Calabasas, California, has entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with Astronaut Walt Cunningham in the promotion of Eagle Eye's 2009 "Celebrations of America's Achievements in Space" Campaign. As 2009 marks the 50th Golden Anniversary of NASA and America's 40th Anniversary of the first man to set foot on the Moon, EAGLE EYES will be promoting their patented "space-age" high performance sunglass lenses, developed from original NASA optic technology.
In 2006, EAGLE EYES OPTICS was recognized and awarded a Lifetime Technology Certication by the prestigious Space Foundation based in Colorado. Today, EAGLE EYES is the only sunglass lens certified by the Space Foundation for UVR and blue-light protection.
 From 1968 to 1972, NASA's Apollo Astronauts greatly expanded our knowledge and appreciation of the solar system and our universe by testing out new spacecraft and travelling to uncharted destination. Walt Cunningham was one of the third groups of astronauts selected by NASA in October 1963. On October 11, 1968, he occupied the lunar module pilot seat for the eleven-day, 263-hour, 4-1/2 million mile, 163-orbit flight of Apollo 7. Cunningham, along with Astronauts Walter Schirra and Donn Eisele, were the crew to beam live telecasts from orbit, giving millions of people around the world their first views of space.
As an astronaut and physicist, Cunningham has been instrumental in revealing new discoveries about solar radiation and the earth's magnetosphere and, today, is involved in numerous ventures in advanced technologies. His hobbies include tennis, among several other sports activities. His book, "The All-American Boys" recounts his experiences as an astronaut.
States Cunningham... "I've long maintained an appreciation for those technologies developed from space explorations that have and continue to benefit human-kind. EAGLE EYES High Performance Eyewear represents a fine example of state-of-the-art Space-Transfer-Technology, that has afforded millions here on Earth the maximum eye protection they need from harmful solar radiation. I've long worn the Eagle Eyes brand of sunglasses and can attest to its superb capabilities in eye protection, glare reduction and enhancement of visual acuity."
Alan Mittelman, president and CEO of Suntiger, Inc, dba EAGLE EYES OPTICS welcomes the addition of Mr. Cunningham to its campaign. "We are both humbled and honored to have Walt join the Eagle Eyes team! It has long been our goal to protect and benefit the eyesight of everyone across the world. Through Walt's vast knowledge in the field of physics and technology development, and his years of honored achievements in space, we are truly excited to begin the new year with Walt aboard. It will truly be a banner year for our company, NASA, the Apollo Astronauts – and all of America."
