The RESEARCH STUDIO™ Story
Pioneering the Future of High Performance Eyewear
At RESEARCH STUDIO™, we believe that eyewear is more than just a tool for vision—it’s a critical component of athletic performance, a symbol of innovative design, and a testament to sustainable practices. Our mission is to redefine what athletes expect from their eyewear by combining cutting-edge technology, meticulous craftsmanship, and a deep commitment to environmental responsibility.
Our Story
RESEARCH STUDIO™ emerged from a desire to push the boundaries of performance eyewear. We saw the limitations in conventional eyewear: insufficient protection, lack of comfort, and a disregard for environmental impact. Determined to create something better, we embarked on a journey to design eyewear that not only meets the rigorous demands of athletes but also contributes positively to the planet.
Innovating for the Modern Athlete
Every pair of RESEARCH STUDIO™ eyewear is born from a blend of advanced technology and athlete-centered design. Our Thermo Force lenses, developed with ZEISS, offer unparalleled infrared radiation reduction, ensuring cooler, more comfortable vision in the most intense conditions. The toric shield lens design provides a wide field of view, while our Tri-Pel coating keeps your lenses clean and clear, no matter where your adventures take you.
Our frames, crafted from aerospace-grade nylon, are designed to endure the toughest challenges while maintaining a lightweight, comfortable fit. Inspired by the dragonfly's agility and precision, our eyewear features unique venting systems and flexible temples, ensuring stability and comfort for athletes in motion.
Committed to Sustainability
At RESEARCH STUDIO™, sustainability isn’t an afterthought; it’s at the heart of everything we do. We’ve revolutionized the eyewear industry with our zero-waste production process, utilizing advanced 3D printing technology to create each pair of glasses with minimal environmental impact. By crafting our eyewear to order, we eliminate unsold inventory and significantly reduce carbon emissions.
We are proud to partner with Lifegate’s Zero Impact project, offsetting our carbon footprint by planting trees and supporting reforestation efforts. Our commitment to sustainability extends to our entire supply chain, as we continually seek ways to reduce our impact and lead the industry toward a greener future.
Our Mission
Our mission at RESEARCH STUDIO™ is to empower athletes with eyewear that enhances their performance and protects their vision, all while championing sustainability. We believe in pushing the limits of what’s possible, creating products that not only meet but exceed the expectations of athletes around the world. Through innovation, craftsmanship, and a commitment to the environment, we strive to inspire a new era of high-performance, eco-friendly eyewear.
