Featured Frames: Wiley X Glasses
Born from the needs of the battlefield, Wiley X was founded in 1987 by U.S. Army veteran Myles Freeman Sr. to deliver eyewear tough enough for soldiers, first responders, and outdoor professionals. Over the decades, that same commitment to clarity and protection has evolved into a globally trusted brand; one that merges military-grade performance with everyday comfort and modern design.
At The Optical Centre, we’re proud to add Wiley X to our featured frames. These glasses redefine what it means to see safely and stylishly. Built for clarity, comfort, and durability, these frames are made for the way people in Longmont live, active, adventurous, and always on the move.
