MIAMI, FL -- Innovative Eyewear, Inc., the developer & manufacturer of smart eyewear under announced the launch of the new Lucyd Armor Vantage style. The new smart safety frame is fully certified for workplace use under US, Canadian, and European standards.

The frame debuted on March 31, 2026, at the National Hardware Show: Concept to Commerce event in Las Vegas. The frame will launch on the Company’s website as well as with its new premier reseller for the safety channel, Ocusafe.com.

The Vantage builds on significant retail traction already established in the Lucyd Armor® line. Armor has become the Company’s fastest-growing product since its launch in October 2024, and accounts for most of the Company’s 63 percent year-over-year revenue growth from 2024 to 2025.

The patent-pending Vantage frame offers several new features:

Reduced base curvature to enable a full range of prescription lenses. Additionally, the flatter base curve means any optical lab can work with the frame.

Expanded eye coverage for additional particle and impact protection.

Rubberized keyhole bridge for a more comfortable fit, suitable for low-bridge wearers.

Day one certifications: ANSI Z87.1, CSA Z94.3, and EN ISO 16321-1 for safety compliance in several major regions.

Additionally, several important upgrades are anticipated across all Armor models in 2026:

Wire core earpieces so the wearer can adjust the tightness for a perfect fit.

Gasket attachment for periphery particle protection.

The introduction of expanded real-time translation features via the Lucyd app.

Harrison Gross, CEO of Innovative Eyewear, commented on the launch, “Armor has become our most successful product line to date, and the addition of the Vantage rounds out the collection with a vital full-range prescription option. No other smart safety glass in the world offers Armor’s mix of all-day battery life, enhanced VOIP walkie features, translation and ChatGPT access – all with a powerful open-ear audio system developed by our leading audio engineers.
