ABOUT US

Our Story

Our founder,  Sylvia Jones OD, MS,  worked as an optometrist for years.  She owned an optical and loved caring for the eyewear needs of her patients.

One day her office phone began to ring.  Ring, Ring!!! “Hello I was wondering if you could email me my prescription???  Do you guys have a pd, it is asking for my pd???  Could you look over this to make sure I put the numbers in correctly??? The patients seemed confused and overwhelmed, desperate for her staff’s time and expertise in placing their online orders with a different company. 

Listening to their frustrations, she realized that there had to be a better way.  Her patients were tired of the limited selection and expense of the local optical. But they also needed more assistance and attention than the online eyewear stores could provide.

Inspired by a vision

She created a company to bridge the gap. Combining the convenience and affordability of online, with the personal attention and assistance of the local optical.

Violet Eyewear was created as a new fun way to purchase eyewear at home or online with your family and friends. Providing each guest with their own Vison Ambassador to answer questions, help with eyewear selection, and assist in placing online orders.  Taking the time and stress out of finding the perfect eyewear.

We believe That technology is good, but technology + human connection is great!

We also believe that everyone deserves  to see, look, and feel great.   Vision impairment disproportionally affects the homeless population due to poor nutrition and lack of medical care.  The inability to see has been shown to be heavily correlated with reduced well-being and decreased earning potential.  Due to this we have partnered with a local homeless shelter to ensure that for every frame purchased, one is donated to a homeless person in need through our Buy One, Bless One program.

Its pretty simple: Great Eyewear | Less Stress | Less Time | More Connection

WHY DONATE EYEWEAR TO THE HOMELESS???

  • The homeless represent one of the most vulnerable group within our society
  • About 30% of the homeless population are visually impaired
  • The inability to see has been shown to be heavily correlated with reduced well being and decreased earning potential.

FOR EVERY PAIR YOU BUY ONE IS DONATED TO A HOMELESS PERSON IN NEED
