GUNNAR To Manufacture Revolution Eyewear 3D Lens Technology Tweet

SAN DIEGO, California – GUNNAR Optiks, the leading manufacturer of digital performance eyewear, announced that they have partnered with Revolution Eyewear to supply GUNNAR i-AMP3DTM lenses, a premium 3D polarized lens technology, for use in Revolution’s patented magnetic clip-on product line.

GUNNAR Optiks is the first company to develop a full package of lens and frame solutions that address the needs of the most demanding digital media users. A recent extension of their core technology in Digital Performance Eyewear, GUNNAR’s i-AMP 3DTM lens technology brings a premium suite of performance optics to today’s 3D viewer. Never before accessible to the consumer, this level of optical quality lens has previously been reserved for the highest echelon of movie making professionals. Compatible with RealD® movies, the innovative lens technology enhances and enriches the viewing experience by providing precision machined, optically correct lenses in place of the cheap, disposable eyewear typically offered by movie theaters. “We’re fiercely committed to every optical aspect of the digital revolution,” said Rob Aarnes, GUNNAR’s President. “The 3D experience is coming of age right now and we can’t imagine a better way to experience this 3D explosion than combining Revolution’s progressive styles and fashion-forward attitude with GUNNAR’s lens technology”.
Revolution Eyewear is a worldwide leader in auxiliary, magnetic clip-on eyewear, a category of eyeglass accessories that allows users to easily add sun lenses under their existing corrective eyewear. With GUNNAR i-AMP 3DTM lenses mounted in Revolution’s patented system, end users can now adapt their eyewear for 3D movie viewing. Previously prescription eyewear users had no choice but to wear a pair of movie-theater glasses over their own eyewear. “We create the most aesthetically pleasing and best quality eyewear in our category,” said Gary Martin, President & CEO of Revolution Eyewear. “We are proud and extremely excited to join forces with GUNNAR Optiks in creating a new, leading-edge category: 3D-Enabled Magnetic Clip-Ons. The evolution of Revolution continues and we’ll never stop striving towards being the most diversified company in eyewear today,” continued Martin, “This new product category is as innovative and exciting as any other product we have ever offered.”
Revolution magnetic clip-ons will be available for pre-sell at the upcoming Vision Expo East tradeshow in New York City. First commercial deliveries will be in July.
