COLLEGEVILLE, Pa—Eye Designs, LLC, an industry leader in the manufacturing of custom ophthalmic environments and optical display systems, has reached an agreement to acquire Fashion Optical Displays. With 40 plus years in the eyecare industry, Fashion Optical was known for its expertise in space planning, manufacturing and interior design services for the eyecare professional. Richard Winig, the co-president of Eye Designs Group, stated, “Eye Designs has always had the utmost respect for Lori Estrada and the team at Fashion Optical and believes this purchase was a natural fit for our business model.”

Fashion Optical suffered the devastating impact of the Camp Fire in Paradise, Calif. in November 2018., as VMAIL reported and the company set up temporary offices and did return to business after the fires in Northern California.

Estrada noted, "We have seen Eye Designs grow alongside our business for years and feel Eye Designs is the best fit to support our customer base today, tomorrow and in the future." Added Matthew Kiraly, president of Fashion Optical Displays, “The past few years have not been easy. We sustained tremendous damage to our headquarters and manufacturing facility from the Camp Fire. We are grateful and proud of our 40 years in the optical industry and want to thank all our customers for their continued support and wish them all the best.”

In its announcement, Eye Designs said it looks forward to continuing the same level of service to Fashion Optical clients on existing and future projects, noting that the Fashion Optical team will not be continuing with the business going forward. "Eye Designs wishes the best of luck to Lori, Liz, Matt and the rest of the Fashion Optical team."
