OUR JOURNEY TO IMPROVE VISION HAS EVOLVED OVER THE PAST 50 YEARS

From BIFOCAL to PROGRESSIVE lenses for clear vision at all distances.

From GLASS to PLASTIC to POLYCARBONATE lens materials for improved safety.

From THICK to ULTRA-THIN lenses for better aesthetics and increased comfort.

From CLEAR to PHOTOCHROMIC lenses for increased comfort in all light conditions.

From front-side only UV protection to additional backside UV protection for healthier vision. We Hope You Will JOIN US On Our Next Step to Provide Eye Protection Against UV and Harmful Blue Light For All Wearers EXPOSURE TO HARMFUL BLUE LIGHT INCREASES EVERY YEAR With improved health, we are living longer but as we age, our eyes weaken and become more at risk for developing eye diseases like cataract and age-related macular degeneration (AMD).1

Harmful Blue Light is also present in modern digital devices like computer screens, tablets, and many smart phones.

As the U.S. moves toward more energy-efficient light sources (LEDs), Blue Light surrounds us even more
