Centennial Optical launches SPINE Eyewear

Centennial Optical introduces SPINE Eyewear, a revolution in performance, which will be available on the Canadian market in January 2015.

Inspired by the interaction between vertebrae, SPINE solves hinge limitations. Constructed with micro injected metal (MiM) hinges, SPINE Eyewear will morph to fit any face shape or head size with the lightest touch. Due to its dual springs and spun wire cable, SPINE temples also automatically retract when removed from the face – heightening its preservation capabilities. Designed for everyday wear, SPINE is a collection that features classic, minimal shapes.

“We are proud to collaborate with the teams at Mondottica and Rem Eyewear for the worldwide distribution of this patented technology,” said Allen Nightingale, VP of Centennial Optical Limited.

The introduction of SPINE is a unique global collaboration between Centennial Optical, REM Eyewear and Mondotticca – combining teams with decades of experience in every aspect of the eyewear industry. Through this international partnership, SPINE will be fully supported to achieve success in the Canadian, US, and global markets.

Partnership between Carl Zeiss and FYidoctors

Carl Zeiss Vision Canada and FYidoctors announce a partnership to produce ZEISS lenses.

Carl Zeiss Vision Canada authorized FYidoctors as the first non‐ZEISS lab to produce ZEISS lenses in Canada because of their commitment to outstanding customer service and their growing network of optometrists. The Eyence Lab will supply the FYidoctors network which includes over 280 locations and over 450 optometrists between its corporately owned and Vision Source Canada offices.

In addition to the ZEISS branded products, ZEISS has developed private label lens designs for the FYidoctors network and Vision Source Canada offices.

“FYidoctors and ZEISS share the goal of providing the best possible visual experience to their patients throughout Canada,” said John Dillon (President of Carl Zeiss Vision Canada). “We are proud to have them as a partner and distributor of our lenses.”
