TOMS x ZEISS: The Discoverist Eyewear Collection

TOMS, the One for One company, has teamed up with ZEISS, a world leader in optics, to create a special collection of eyewear that appeals to the adventurer in all of us. Inspired by a shared love of innovation, discovery and helping the world to see, the Discoverist Collection features sunglasses with premium ZEISS polarised lenses in stylish and durable acetate frames. This premium collection of eyewear provides a sharp vision experience for the wearer, with purchases, in turn, helping to restore sight to individuals in need by funding eye exams, prescription glasses, sight-saving surgery and medical treatment.

The Discoverist Collection consists of eight different styles for men and women, in a variety of classic and fashion-forward silhouettes. This inaugural partnership between the two companies came about following a TOMS sight-giving trip to Paraguay. There, the TOMS eyewear team discovered that much of the clinical equipment used by their sight-giving partners was donated by ZEISS. Recognising their mutual interest in creating high-performance sunwear and making vision care more accessible, the two companies partnered to accomplish both.

All frames retail at £160 and are available online and select TOMS retail locations. The collection also features RI-PEL TECHNOLOGY, a special coating created by ZEISS that acts as a repellant to water and oil, making the lenses highly resistant to fingerprints and smudges.
