3D Eyewear Brand: Cocoons OverRx Eyewear

Key Features: Cocoons, designed to be worn over ophthalmic frames, will launch OverRx featuring circular polarized 3D lenses this quarter. The circular polarized lenses that will be featured in Cocoons 3D are compatible for use with theater viewing, passive 3D televisions, laptops and computer monitors. Because the lenses block 100 percent of UVA and UVB rays, Cocoons 3D also provide protection when worn outdoors as conventional sunglasses, the company said. The Cocoons 3D collection will be available in six sizes with Black or Slate Soft Touch frame finishes and will be available to the public exclusively through eyecare professionals.



San Luis Obispo, Calif.-based Live Eyewear said it plans to enter the growing 3D eyewear market in response to increased retail demand for 3D eyewear designed for those that wear corrective glasses.

Dave Dean, vice president of marketing, noted, “3D technology as a medium for visual entertainment is exploding. Developing 3D eyewear that will provide a superior fit and enhanced viewing experience for those that wear corrective glasses is a natural fit for us. Our design focus revolves around those that wear glasses.”

The company’s OveRx sunwear brand, Cocoons, is available from over 18,000 ECPs in 22 countries.
