Icon-Inspired Eyewear

EyeBuyDirect Launches New Eyewear Line Inspired by the World's Visionaries

The leading retailer for prescription eyewear, EyeBuyDirect, has launched a new line of forward-thinking glasses. The Visionaries collection is inspired by individuals who have offered a unique way to see the world. The collection features 19 new styles for both men and women.

The Visionaries line features five key styles - the Volta, Radar, Wright, Inventus, and Obscura. Among these new styles is the Wright style. Inspired by the iconic Wright Brothers, this new frame offers a bold look. This classic square shape comes with a black or tortoise finish.

The Visionaries collection is made for customization. Whether it be blue light blocking, tinted lenses, or adding prescriptions, all glasses in the collection can do just that. With every purchase from this collection, customers can donate a pair of glasses to an individual in need.
