At Glass Lens Eyewear, we believe clear vision and dependable eye protection shouldn’t be a luxury, they’re essentials. As a family-owned and operated business with more than 130 years of combined optical experience, we’re proud to bring customers something rare in today’s eyewear industry: REAL GLASS lenses crafted with modern technology, offered at honest, budget-friendly prices.
A Legacy Built on Quality - Real Glass Lenses
Our story began with owner Mike DeMasi, who brings over 40 years of experience in the eyewear and safety industries. Mike DeMasi partnered with Phillips family optical business, to create VS Eyewear. VS Eyewear has proudly been serving its customers since 2008 backed by a century-long optical legacy. His passion for precision optics led him to recognize a major gap in the market: truly high-quality glass lenses were becoming harder and harder to find. Yet glass has always been the gold standard for clarity, stability, and scratch resistance.
Glass Lens Eyewear was founded with a clear mission:
to keep real glass eyewear accessible, affordable, and expertly made.
To achieve this mission, our company blends old-world craftsmanship with cutting-edge production technology.
Technology That Honors Tradition
While glass lenses have a long-standing reputation for unbeatable optics, we’ve taken them into the future. Our fully automated, state-of-the-art manufacturing system allows us to create precise, high-quality lenses with the consistency and reliability today’s customers expect and deserve. Our state-of-the-art lab performs with unmatched speed, accuracy, and value resulting in top-tier products our customers back. The lab shortens wait time for the customers without compromising quality of product. We believe in our technology as it increases production while minimizes waste and maximizes efficiency.
Precision isn’t just a goal, it’s the foundation of everything we do. Our commitment to exceptional vision quality is powered by some of the most advanced lens-manufacturing technology in the industry. By combining decades of optical expertise with cutting-edge equipment, we deliver eyewear that meets the highest standards of clarity, consistency, and craftsmanship.
Our manufacturing lab features fully automated, state-of-the-art robotic lens processing systems designed for unmatched accuracy. These robotic systems allow us to shape, polish, and perfect each lens with precision far beyond traditional manual methods. This technology results in glass lenses that are consistently crafted to exact specifications, ensuring exceptional optical performance every time.
CNC Freeform Processing for Superior Accuracy
We utilize CNC freeformed lens processing technology, a process known for both its precision and its efficiency. This advanced method produces lenses with remarkably smooth surfaces and ideal curvature, optimizing visual clarity. Freeform processing also allows us to customize lenses down to the smallest detail. This customization is especially important for glass, the material known for delivering the best visual quality. CNC freeform technology is highly eco-friendly, minimizing material waste while maximizing production efficiency. Every lens is shaped with intention, precision, and respect for the resources used.
To enhance performance even further, our entire lab is powered by upgraded AI-driven software. This intelligent system analyzes, adjusts, and optimizes each stage of production. The result is a streamlined process that shortens turnaround time, reduces error, and maintains competitive pricing without ever compromising quality.
Fueled by robotics, guided by AI, and perfected through decades of optical knowledge, our manufacturing process is built around one core principle: deliver exceptional eyewear with unmatched precision and integrity.
At Glass Lens Eyewear, technology is more than equipment, it’s our commitment to giving you the clearest, most reliable vision possible.
Why Glass? The Material That Still Outperforms
Glass remains the superior choice for many customers because it offers:
Exceptional Clarity – The best optical quality of any lens material.
Unmatched Scratch Resistance – Ideal for farmers, ranchers, photographers, anyone in demanding environments, and anyone that values a tough material that keeps up with daily life.
Stable, Natural Vision – With high ABBE values and low distortion.
Easy Maintenance – More resistant to chemicals and everyday wear.
While glass can be heavier or thicker depending on prescription, modern high-index options and smaller frame designs make it more practical than ever without sacrificing its legendary performance.
