20 years of proven performance - proprietary technology - available direct to the outdoor consumer at a sane price.

March 29, 2023 (San Diego, Calif.) – Parallel Eyewear is a new brand of sunglasses for serious sportswomen and men from long-established southern California eyewear designer and manufacturer MicroVision Optical.

Parallel’s new sunglass line uses proprietary lens and frame technology it developed for some of the world's largest and best-known eyewear brands. Now, Parallel uses that technology and expertise exclusively for its own products.

David Johnson, Founder & CEO of Parallel Eyewear, is a lifelong fly fisherman who has been designing and manufacturing eyewear for 20 years. Management is a team of avid outdoor sports enthusiasts with a particular view of how their products are used.

“For serious outdoor nuts like us, especially ones into fishing, sunglasses aren’t just accessories, they’re a critical piece of equipment,” said Johnson. “They’re the primary protection for your eyes, and the difference between a cast that’s perfect or a total miss. Our NEOX H2O™ lenses are packed with technology no other manufacturer has. You’ll see the difference immediately and at the end of a long day on the water.”

Johnson points out that professional guides in Patagonia who spend more than 200 days a year on the water have been using and raving about Parallel sunglasses. “Hundreds of days on the Rio Collón Cura is a severe sunglass test. No one is going to wear them there if they’re not effective,” exclaims Johnson.

“More good news, we’re strictly direct-to-consumer so our technologically superior sunglasses are all available at a sane price - less than $100,” adds Johnson.
