Innovative Eyewear

Innovative Eyewear develops and sells cutting-edge eyeglasses and sunglasses that protect your eyes and allow customers to remain safely connected to their digital lives. Our flagship Lucyd® Lyte Bluetooth audio glasses enable the wearer to listen to music, talk on the phone, and use voice assistants to perform many common smartphone tasks handsfree. After our successful launch of the Lucyd Lyte line in January 2021, we experienced significant interest from many eyewear retailers, so we are returning to StartEngine for help addressing our inventory needs, and to build the most complete line of smart eyewear on the market. Our mission is to Upgrade your Eyewear®. Consistent with this we are developing an exciting software app called Vyrb which will enable Lucyd Lyte users to hear and reply to social media posts with their voice, hands-free, through their glasses. We are planning to launch Vyrb this September for both iOS and Android as the first social app with a focus on wearables. Our smart eyewear acts like headphones and glasses in one, bringing vision correction and protection together with digital connectivity and clear audio, and offers a safer solution for listening to music outdoors compared to in-ear headphones.

Launching the largest line of Bluetooth prescription glasses on the market, that match the fit and finish of designer eyewear, costing the same as regular glasses to enable mass market adoption. Actively expanding from ecommerce-only operations to brick and mortar resellers, including big box stores, optical chains and sporting goods outlets.
Strong intellectual property position with exclusive rights to 24 total pending and granted patents, including three utility patents and 21 design patents.
Developing a breakthrough new app called Vyrb which will enable voice posting to social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook via Lucyd glasses and other hearables.
