![]() We are just a small, independent company with about 30 employees right here in the USA. This allows us to offer the same quality lenses as the big guys with less of a price tag. Since we’re on the subject of price, did you know you can buy around 5 pairs of our replacement lenses for the same cost as an average pair of brand name sunglasses? We prefer to invest our dollars in people, processes, and equipment so that we can control our costs and pass the savings along to you. When you place an order with us, we custom cut each pair of lenses to order in Clearwater, FL on our state-of-the-art equipment (same as what you would find in big brand’s factories). ![]() Then, our team cleans, inspects, and packages up your order. This process usually takes around 1-3 days - but it’s worth it. There are tons of small lens companies that pop up, buy pre-cut lenses in bulk, and sell them to you for less. If you just want replacement lenses, they work. What those brands don’t do is stand behind their products and their quality. When Fuse was formed nearly 10 years ago, there were two primary lens materials available: Triacetate (TAC) or “Bent Sheet” Polycarbonate. Many “affordable” brands still use Triacetate lenses today. It is a widely available, inexpensive material. ![]() The problem is that the visual acuity of TAC is so bad that most manufacturers produce the lenses at only a 1.0mm center thickness to reduce the amount of inherent haze and aberrations in the material. That’s pretty much a fancy way of saying factories have workarounds to make TAC into a lens that is optically barely passable.īent Sheet Polycarbonate is a rigid, durable material produced in large sheets, cut into rectangles, and then bent to a curve in a heated, hydraulic press.
