neubau eyewear is a homage to creativity, innovation and the zeitgeist of the Millennial Generation. The worldwide launch of the optical eyewear collection was in June 2016 with 12 models in six colours each, with the first neubau sunglasses collection to follow in October 2016.
From conception to production, neubau eyewear (part of the Silhouette family) is an Austrian product, combining an urban way of life with innovative design and ecologically sustainable manufacturing. This is how spectacles for comfortable daily wear are made that are both light in weight and of the highest quality in finish, perfectly tailored to a modern, urban clientele, as befits the inspiration behind the brand.

“We’re hearing that our attendees want more opportunities at Vision Expo for quick, casual engagement where they can get great ideas from peers and network,” said Ashley Mills, vice president, Trade Shows and Meetings, The Vision Council. “Fun and fast with free drinks, these value added sessions will be popping up all over the show floor.”
Charenton-le-Pont, France – Essilor has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire MyOptique Group Ltd., a leading European online prescription glasses, contact lenses and sunglasses business.
The transaction is consistent with Essilor’s mission to “improve lives by improving sight”. Essilor’s online business helps to raise awareness among an ever-growing community of consumers about the importance of protecting and correcting their eyesight.

Based in the United Kingdom, MyOptique Group reported £57 million in revenue in the year ended April 30, 2016. The company’s unique value proposition is built around a successful multi-category, multi-brand model, which is being deployed through a number of local websites, such as Glasses Direct (prescription glasses) and SunglassesShop (non-prescription sunglasses) in the UK, Lensbest (contact lenses) in Germany and LensOn (contact lenses) mainly in the Nordic countries.
The acquisition will enable Essilor to broaden its online footprint to Central Europe and to enhance its capabilities in successful multi-category, multi-brand models. MyOptique Group’s key management team will remain in place.
