Innovative Eyewear expands Canadian presence with Eye Recommend

MIAMI - Innovative Eyewear, Inc. (NASDAQ: LUCY | LUCYW), a developer of smart eyewear with a market capitalization of $4.73 million, announced a new partnership with Eye Recommend, a network of independent optometry clinics in Canada. The company’s stock, currently trading at $1.93, has experienced significant volatility, with a year-to-date decline of ~61%. This collaboration will extend the reach of Innovative Eyewear’s products, including its Lucyd Armor™ smart safety glasses, to over 600 optical practices across Canada.

Eye Recommend plays a crucial role in the optical industry by facilitating access to a diverse range of products for independent optometrists and providing resources such as continuing education. The partnership aims to enhance patient care and support the business growth of member clinics by introducing Innovative Eyewear’s smart eyewear into the Canadian market. According to InvestingPro data, the company has demonstrated strong revenue growth of 42% over the last twelve months, though it maintains a cautious financial position with more cash than debt on its balance sheet.

Harrison Gross, CEO of Innovative Eyewear, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, emphasizing the recent Canadian Standards Association (CSA) certification for their smart safety glasses, which is expected to bolster their presence in Canadian workplaces. Lee Raffey, CEO at Eye Recommend, echoed these sentiments, highlighting the alignment with their mission to empower practices with advanced products.

Innovative Eyewear is known for its Bluetooth audio glasses, which are designed to keep users connected to their digital lives in a safe and ergonomic manner. The partnership with Eye Recommend is poised to deliver these cutting-edge optical solutions more broadly in Canada.

This press release contains forward-looking statements regarding the partnership’s potential effects.
