Our story

From a crowdfunded idea in Miami to smart glasses in stores across North America.

2019

We were founded by three like-minded tech entrepreneurs committed to developing the global standard in smart eyewear. We set out to build the first smart eyewear product that works just like regular glasses, while helping you stay connected to your digital life. Our initial funding came from crowdfunding and Tekcapital plc, a UK investment firm that transforms university innovations into new products to improve quality of life. For much of 2019, our efforts were devoted solely to smart eyewear testing and development.

2020

After a year of rigorous research and development, we launched a notable beta product, Lucyd Loud 2020, a sport-style audio sunglass. Loud 2020 taught our team a lot about what was needed to build a successful, mainstream smart eyewear product. In 2020, we also launched an over-subscribed regulation crowdfund, attracting nearly 4,000 tech-loving investors to our company and raising over $1m from a grassroots campaign.

2021

Here is where our story takes off in earnest! In January 2021, we launched the Lucyd Lyte line, the first optical-quality smart frame on the market. Lyte represents a completely new standard in smart eyewear, of frames that look and feel like designer eyeglasses and sunglasses, but capable of so much more. We went on to delight thousands of customers with our frames and onboard over 180 optical stores in the US and Canada to carry Lucyd. See our store locator here!

2022

2022 was a huge year! We have been growing rapidly and have launched our IPO! Find us on the Nasdaq under ticker LUCY. The Robinhood app is an easy way to invest and follow the stock's progress. We have also introduced our boldest styles yet of Lucyd Lyte, including the Jupiter style, the world's lightest smart eyewear at just 28 grams. Additionally, we have launched our cordless charging dock to make charging our eyewear (and up to three other devices) easier than ever.

2023

2023 was our biggest year yet! We launched the Lucyd app, powering the first-ever voice interface for ChatGPT on our glasses in April. We went on to license three notable fashion brands for smart eyewear: Nautica, Eddie Bauer and Reebok. We plan to launch collections with all three of our new brands in 2024. We also sold more frames than ever before, as the Lucyd brand keeps growing and thrilling new customers the world over.

2024

This was a big year for Lucyd, seeing the launch of our first fashion-branded collections under Nautica and Eddie Bauer. The Eddie Bauer collection brought several elevated design elements, such as brushed titanium hardware, a rimless style and the Lucyd Dock included standard. We also launched our most popular product to-date, Lucyd Armor® smart safety glasses.

2025

2025 was the year of Lucyd X Reebok! We launched our exciting new sports line, Reebok Powered by Lucyd. We also went on to introduce four new versions of Lucyd Armor smart safety glasses. Some other improvements in 2025 include our Translation and Walkie features in the Lucyd app, bringing powerful new functionality to all Lucyd frames.

2026

Our biggest year yet. Lucyd Armor won the Red Dot Product Design Award and the NHPA Retailer's Choice Award, and we added the Armor Vantage safety frame. Armor is rolling out to 345 FYidoctors and Visique clinics, our first national launch in Canada, and to more than 150 big-box stores across the US. The Lucyd app added Claude alongside ChatGPT, plus Friends calling. In September we began offering HTC VIVE Eagle AI glasses, built to your prescription in our own lab. And Q3 was our best quarter ever, our 13th straight quarter of year-over-year growth.

Game changer!

I can't go back to regular glasses again.After trying the Lucyd Darkside glasses, I don't need my earbuds and have access to Bixby and ChatGPT at all times. I love it.

★★★★★

Great for everyday carry!

I wanted to start taking more walks in the Florida sun. Saw these had some cool features other brands didn't and decided to try them out. I like how these feel and sound, it lets you enjoy the outside without the isolating feel of headphones. The AI assistant works well for getting things answered on the go the app is easy to use and never had any issues with it.
