Safilo Group announced a partnership and licensing agreement with Interaxon Inc, a Toronto-based world leader in sparse EEG (electroencephalography) brain sensing technology that has been validated with over 100 research partnerships, including University of Toronto, McMaster University, NASA, IBM and others. Interaxon’s MUSE technology enables consumers, athletes and healthcare professionals to enhance personal wellness by helping improve their mental focus.
Safilo will enter the wearable segment by integrating Interaxon’s Muse technology into a new product SafiloX, which will debut at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas in January.
Luisa Delgado, CEO of Safilo Group, said. “It is neither another example of technology mounted on frames, nor technology for its own sake. With SafiloX our group leverages its legendary passion for product and people for a wearable eyewear proposition of unparalleled fit and comfort, aspirational design and style, and compelling consumer relevance,”
Both Canadian and Italian scientific research partnerships with SafiloX are already underway, including at the University of Toronto, University of Victoria, as well as the neuropsychology and cognitive neuroscience centre at the Cattolica University of Milan.

These acquisitions add to FYidoctors growing presence in Ontario and British Columbia. Equipped with a range of diagnostic technology, a wide selection of designer and exclusive label frames and internal freeform lens designs, the Parry Sound, ON location demonstrates FYi’s continued commitment to the Eastern region.
Like all FYidoctors locations, Drs. Bishop, Marshall & Associates will offer detailed pre-testing, comprehensive eye exams, a menu of current lens technology and custom fittings with our electronic measurement devices.
With a wide selection of designer and exclusive label frames and internal freeform lens designs, this White Rock, BC location adds a well-respected location to the FYi group. “We are pleased to continue the FYidoctors growth story with our first location in White Rock,” says Dr. Alan Ulsifer, Chairman & CEO of FYidoctors. “We are determined that the FYidoctors promise of eye care is reflected in every Canadian community, and we look forward to fully equipping this clinic for future success.”
The OWP design team has once again proven its core competence in creating frames out of exclusive material in a fresh, new way. Style 1412 has a fine nylor front made from stainless steel with delicate temples made from exclusive acetate. Bold but not brash, these frames offer a wonderfully feminine look that is guaranteed to turn heads. Striking colours or more subtle ones, from soft, blue tones to red with a gold front, to a black front with an exciting craquelée effect, to monochrome stripes along the temples. Style 1412 provides a balanced range of options that are perfect for every occasion. The slim, contoured temples ensure a comfortable feel and a great look.
