Innovative Eyewear, Inc. Collaborates with Encore Optical for Smart Lens Technology

Release Date: June 23, 2026
Innovative Eyewear, Inc., a leader in smart eyewear development, has announced a strategic partnership with Encore Optical Laboratory, a recognized and VSP-accredited optical laboratory based in Miami. This collaboration aims to enhance the lens technologies available for its Lucyd® line of smart eyewear.

Expanding Options for Consumers

The partnership is significant, especially regarding the innovative lens technologies and services now accessible to Lucyd customers. First on the agenda is the introduction of Chemistrie lens clips. This technology is a game-changer as it allows users to easily attach and replace tinted clips on their Lucyd glasses. These clips provide a variety of functions, from blocking sunlight to offering protection for sensitive eyes and aiding visibility during night driving. The Chemistrie system makes Lucyd the first smart eyewear brand selling online with this capability, enhancing user customization and experience.

Additionally, Lucyd frames will incorporate Zeiss PhotoFusion X lenses. This innovative product represents the latest standard in photochromic lenses, offering rapid adaptation to changing light conditions. For those who seek the convenience of auto-tinting, these lenses present a fantastic solution with a variety of fashionable color options.

Furthermore, Encore Optical's advanced capabilities allow them to accommodate complex prescriptions. This is particularly beneficial for Lucyd Armor's popular safety glasses, as nearly any prescription can now be fitted, broadening appeal among safety-conscious customers and professionals who rely on smart eyewear.

The Vision Behind the Partnership

Harrison Gross, CEO of Innovative Eyewear, shared the company's commitment to prioritizing vision correction and protection. He stated that from their inception, they have strived to lead the smart eyewear sector by offering more lens and frame options than competitors, catering to consumer demands for flexibility in vision correction choices. Gross believes the future of smart eyewear relies on providing the same level of variety seen in traditional eyewear, which is often a decisive factor for consumers.

Hank DelFavero, VP of Sales at Encore, echoed this sentiment, expressing enthusiasm about providing an amalgamation of cutting-edge lens technologies with next-gen smart eyewear solutions. This partnership not only accelerates product development and delivery but also enhances customer service quality—a combination that they believe will shape the future of the eyewear industry.
