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.
Low Vision Cocoons will be launched at
the International Vision Exposition in New York, April
11th-13th, 2008. The new specialty lens options will be
available in all sizes of Cocoons with the choice of black
or tortoiseshell frames. As with all Live Eyewear products,
Cocoons featuring the new low vision lens options will be
covered by the Live Eyewear limited lifetime warranty. Each
patented frame style is based on proven OveRx design
principles that ensure a comfortable fit over a wide range
of prescription eyewear shapes and sizes, while providing
360° of complete protection from the elements. All Cocoons
include a custom designed neoprene Cocoons case, and
Duracloth™.
