Originally founded as Protective Optics in 1987 by U.S. Army Veteran Myles Freeman Sr., our mission continues today as it did then – “Build the world’s best protective eyewear”. Over the years, we’ve become an iconic American brand and the most trusted name when it comes to protective eyewear. We’re proud to be a second generation, family-owned American business and continue to build on a legacy of creating innovative eyewear products without compromising on protection.

When it comes to personal safety and protection, we believe our customers expect, and deserve, more than the minimum available option. Protection is our code of conduct, and we take it seriously. Real serious. Just ask anyone that’s been to our facility and experienced the level of commitment and resources we apply to testing our products. We never forget that behind every pair of glasses is a real person–trusting us to protect their eyes, and in some cases even more, to the integrity of the products we design and build.
