Panoptx Provides Vision "Six Feet Under"
Revolutionary Brand of Eyewear to be Featured on Award-Winning HBO Original
Series
PLEASANTON, Calif. (April 09, 2002) Panoptx®, creator
of the ultimate Windless Eyewear, is seeing stars as it debuts on "Six
Feet Under," the critically acclaimed, dark comic drama series
airing Sunday nights on HBO®.
Panoptx will be featured in episode nine of "Six
Feet Under," titled "Someone Else's Eyes" airing on April
28, 2002. The leading character, Nate Fisher, inherits a motorcycle
and begins to experience the "biker lifestyle" by sporting
a helmet and Panoptx Windless Eyewear throughout the show. "Six
Feet Under" purposely chose Panoptx Windless Eyewear to protect
Peter Krause's (Nate Fisher) eyes from wind, dust and debris during
scenes of him riding the motorcycle. The Panoptx black Cyclone model
with Shooter Yellow lens will be featured.
"We are extremely excited to be included in 'Six
Feet Under,'" says Joel Olney, Panoptx senior vice president. "The
first season of the show was a runaway success and the scenes in which
Panoptx are featured really demonstrate the personality and function
of the product."
"Six Feet Under" stars Peter Krause (Nate
Fisher), Michael C. Hall (David Fisher), Frances Conroy (Ruth Fisher)
and Lauren Ambrose (Claire Fisher) as an entertainingly dysfunctional
family running a funeral home in Los Angeles. The program is the winner
of two 2001 Golden Globe awards and has received Screen Actors Guild
(SAG) and American Film Institute (AFI) award nominations.
Cyclone frames are equipped with Panoptx' proprietary
Ocular Surround System™ (OSS™) eyecup for the ultimate in
visual protection and versatility. Complete with venting apertures and
anti-fog lenses, the Cyclone also features a patented Orbital Seal™
made of soft, medical grade foam lined with an innovative micro-fleece
fiber skin to completely enclose and protect the eye as well as wick
sweat and water away from the face.
The Cyclone also offers enhanced venting as well as
a redesigned bridge, which enables it to fit smaller faces. Shooter
Yellow is a polycarbonate lens featuring a quartz hard-coat resistant
to scratching, 50% visible light transmission and 100% UV block.
