SPY Optic :: Happiness Guarantee
BVO is excited to share our newest addition to our frame board: Spy Optic Sunglasses
-
The all new, patent-pending SPY Happy Lens™ fuses years of optics design experience with a large and growing body of scientific research to redefine lens innovation and is the only lens technology designed to maximize the best transmission of the sun’s “good” rays (specific long-wave blue light), while still blocking out its “bad” rays (UV and short-wave blue light). Exposure to the “good” rays has been shown to help align the human body’s rhythm with its natural preference for specific color and wavelengths, creating positive changes that can help harmonize our body—creating a positive physiological “uplift” in mood and alertness. Additionally, the SPY Happy Lens™ has color and contrast enhancements that are so clear you can feel the difference. In short, the SPY Happy Lens™ helps you not only SEE BETTER, but FEEL BETTER.

BVO Eats! – Our Review of The Boiler Chino Hills!
Every once in a while, we come across a restaurant that transports us to another world. The Boiler Chino Hills (4665 Chino Hills Pkwy, Unit I, Chino Hills, CA) is that such restaurant.
Their pan roast, gumbo, jambalaya, and étouffée instantly transport us to Louisiana. Best of all, our favorite comfort foods can be enjoyed in The Boiler Chino Hills, humidity-free.
The Broiler is known for their steam kettle cooking. Their signature dishes are cooked in individual jacketed steam kettles and are served piping hot with a scoop of white rice. We recommend sitting at the counter for a front row view of the action. Dinner portions can be shared by two (i.e. one normal-sized human and one very small human), but we doubt you will want to. We are also huge fans of their calamari, which is nice and meaty.
The menu expands on that of Las Vegas’ Oyster Bar. We love that Vegas-worthy restaurants are now here in our community, and the 1000+ Yelp reviewers of The Boiler Chino Hills seem to also agree.
Spotlight Dish: House Pan Roast
BVO Tip: When choosing the heat level of your steam kettle dish, opt for a higher heat level for cream-based dishes (i.e. House Pan Roast) than you would for roux-based dishes. Cream will reduce the spice level of the dish.

The Bright Vision Journal – April 2016
April 2016 edition of The Bright Vision Journal. Enjoy! 
Keep your EYES on the prize.
It’s hump day, everyone needs a little bit of motivation to get through the 2nd half of the week.
Take some time to relax and check out this TEDtalk. This talk starts with the sentence…
“Vision is the most important and prioritized sense that we have.” Hm…intriguing.
BVO Eats! – Wähfles
Easing off the chocolate and candies we consumed in February has been difficult. If you are like us and are still craving something sweet this month, we recommend heading to Wähfles Desserts & Coffee (5751 Pine Ave, Chino Hills, CA). We won’t judge — we promise.
Wähfles aren’t just for desserts though. Its savory sandwiches, including breakfast sandwiches, also center around its star, the waffle. Don’t like their sweet or savory options? No problem — you can build your own masterpiece! At only $4.25 for a generous half-sized dessert (or $6.45 for a full-sized sandwich), you can pile on all the items you love. The waffle will hold all the toppings your heart desires without getting soggy. So, get crazy and get creative!
Spotlight Dish: The BVO Wähfle (our creation)
The house wähfle (half size) with nutella, strawberries, bananas, almonds, and honey. We went a slightly healthier route, but this was equally satisfying. Crème Brûlée Wähfle and Salted Ganache Wähfle — we will be back for you!
BVO Tip: Bring your student ID (or bring a student with one) for 10% off.

Grand Opening Party
Our grand opening party was a huge success! Thank you to everyone who stopped by. Thank you to Jason from Tom Ford and Wendy from NVISION. Here are some highlights from last Saturday. Enjoy!
BVO Eats! – Ojiya
Here at BVO, we are huge fans of Japanese cuisine so we are especially excited to share our experience at Ojiya Chino Hills (4183 Chino Hills Pkwy, Chino Hills, CA) for the first post of BVO Eats!
Sashimi, sushi, bento boxes, broiled fish, and soups — don’t let the long wait deter you because this restaurant has it all. We are still drooling over the Kaisen Zousui (rice porridge with salmon roe and crab), our spotlight dish. The “porridge” has the consistency of soup, but once we tasted the broth, we had no complaints. There are generous portions of crab which adds a mild sweetness to the soup, and it was the perfect compliment to our sushi. This dish can easily be shared by two, but be warned that you will be fighting over the last few drops! To summarize, Ojiya Chino Hills was awesome!
Spotlight Dish: Kaisen Zousui
BVO Tip: Make sure to go early to avoid the crowds. The wait for the sushi bar is generally shorter, but the menu selection will be limited (you can order the Kaisen Zousui though).
