American Optical has been pioneering groundbreaking technologies for almost two centuries and has shaped the optical world with some of the most iconic sunglasses models. The brand stands for uncompromising standards and true craftsmanship. Handmade in the USA from the best global components.
Founded in 1833, the company has lived through major events in world history and paved the way in ophthalmic optics. Who else can claim to have sent the first sunglasses to the moon or invented the panto shape?
In 2019, American Optical made a new start. Original blueprints were translated for state-of-the-art construction techniques, bringing classics back to life. Production at the company's own factory in Chicago ensures uncompromising quality. Models such as the Flight Goggle 58, better known as the ORIGINAL PILOT, and the SARATOGA, once worn by John F. Kennedy, have been reintroduced to the portfolio. American Optical continues to focus on the future and sets new standards for American eyewear.
A special highlight is the announced launch of prescription lenses from American Optical. Visit us at our booth C2 561 and find out how the American label will soon be launching unique RX eyewear alongside its iconic sunglasses.
