“Smith’s Rx system is very, very helpful for us in terms of being able to shuffle from winter sports to summer sports. You can actually use the same prescription insert, which obviously can save a lot of money for the individual.”
—BRIAN DOBSON
“Maui Jim and Costa wearers are loyal to their brands. It’s not just a sports thing—it’s just in general. But for those who think, ‘I’m picking up a sport and I need a pair of glasses,’ I think that most of them still come in thinking Oakley.”
