Low Vision Community

San Luis Obispo, CA – Live Eyewear announced today that Cocoons, the company’s patented collection of sunwear designed to be worn over prescription eyewear, will be available in an additional range of specialty lens tints specifically developed for the Low Vision market. Millions of eyeglass wearers nationwide have come to depend on the convenience, comfort and complete protection delivered by Cocoons. By combining specialty low vision lens tints with the world’s leading OveRx sunwear frame designs, the new Low Vision Cocoons will deliver these benefits to those with special low vision requirements.

Bob Jones, Optical Sales Manager says, “I’ve been eagerly anticipating the arrival of Cocoons with low vision tints. Specialty filters for low vision applications have been a consistent recommendation from our eyecare professionals, so it’s extremely satisfying to be able to demonstrate how responsive our company is to the needs of our customers.”

Cocoons patented frames will continue to be manufactured with the Polaré^® lens system in polarized gray, amber, copper and yellow. The new low vision non-polarized tints will include orange, amber, yellow and mauve, which have been specially developed to protect the eyes from damaging UV light and enhance visual acuity for low vision patients.

“There has been a definite need in the low vision industry for a higher quality OveRx sunglass that caters to specific low vision requirements. We are thrilled to be part of the solution by bringing together the world’s leading brand of OveRx sunglass with the most popular low vision lens options”, added Jones.
