Aspire Eyewear Launches Revolutionary Lenses

May 27, 2017

Aspire Eyewear, partnered with Dassault Systems a leading technology firm that specializes in 3-D design platforms to launch Aspire 2.0, a fully customized 3-piece rimless eyewear solution used by both optical retailers and consumers online.

Created with the brand’s proprietary SDN-5, Aspire Eyewear’s Aspire 2.0 custom frames remain similar to its predecessor SDN-4. SDN-5 is a special durable material that offers shape memory, is impervious to heat, and will not fade in UV exposure. However, this material is even lighter in weight than SDN-4. A typical Aspire 2.0 custom frame weighs about 12 grams.

“We are prepared for the needs of every eyewear consumer, including the ever-important millennial consumer,” said Peter Friedfeld, Executive Vice President, ClearVision Optical.

“People today want choice and easy accessibility to both new products and information. And they want to make their purchases their own through customization. This new product technology allows consumers to get exactly what they want and offers the added service of directing them to an optician that can perfect their purchase with lenses crafted to their individual prescription. The service to the individual is maximized at every level of the interaction, and is available at the click of a button.”
