Kingsley Eyewear Hudson Sunglasses

Kingsley was founded by an optometrist with a passion for eye care, a creative drive, and a desire to give back. The result: handmade, high-quality eyewear—and for every pair sold, a full eye exam and a pair of glasses for someone in need. Named for the renowned Hudson River, these retro-leaning shades are inspired by New York businessmen of the 1950s and ‘60s. The Italian acetate comes in multiple colors, while the five-barrel hinges make for extra strength and durability. Treated with anti-reflective and scratch-resistant coatings, the G15 green tint lenses provide 100-percent UV 400 protection. Plus, these frames are RX-able, which means you can bring them to your own optometrist to be fitted with prescription lenses if you need them.

The folks at Kingsley don’t believe that simply giving someone a pair of glasses is enough. By partnering with Optometry Giving Sight, the company is able to support sustainable vision care in many impoverished areas around the world. Not only does OGS provide the necessary care and glasses, but it also trains people to serve their own communities as eye-care providers, ultimately creating a self-sustaining system of health care. Giving back and helping create a better world is a huge part of what Kingsley stands for.
