Overview of eyebobs Glasses

The Vision Council of America states that approximately 75% of American adults use some form of vision correction, with around 64% of adults wearing glasses. eyebobs created a unique and affordable range of eyewear that makes vision correction look fashionable.

eyebobs vision is as follows: “You supply the personality. We frame it.”  And that’s exactly what they do. The brand was founded in 2001 by Julie Allinson in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Julie wanted to bridge the gap for those in search of high-quality eyewear at a reasonable price.

From personal experience, she found that cheap eyewear at her local drugstore would break quickly, and high-quality prescription glasses could cost up to $500 or more. Julie wanted to find a middle ground inspired to create frames that would retail accessibly while maintaining quality.

eyebobs believes “From day one, we’ve fashioned original readers for original people. Three cheers to those who make seven statements a week. Keep up the good fight. You inspire us, and we hope to inspire you. As for our shy, reserved, and understated friends, we know there’s a character lurking beneath the surface. Sooner or later, we can’t wait to meet them. Whenever you’re ready, we’re here to unrepress your express.”

Today, eyebobs frames are made in Asia with high-quality materials including luxury Italian acetate. eyebobs designs are distinctive, avant-garde, and affordable, ranging from minimalist to colorful to daring.
