For more than 50 years, Hudson Optical has been manufacturing fashion eyewear for the ophthalmic community. Integrating design with function and comfort has always been the foundation of their philosophy. Today, Hudson Optical is 100% focused on safety eyewear. The DesignGard line exemplifies this commitment to the fullest extent.

Fashion

"DesignGard - The Protective Eyewear That Makes You Look Good at Work" is more than just a slogan. It is an approach toward increasing worker compliance. Since the objective of safety eyewear is to protect the eyes, we've created spectacles that are attuned to today's fashion trends.

Broad Selection

You'll find our design engineers have created something for everyone. Our latest collection offers the industry's widest assortment of metal and plastic frame styles, for both men and women, and in a full range of sizes and colors.

Innovative Appeal

Industry leaders have always commended the bold leadership of DesignGard. We were the first to introduce spring-hinged eyewear to the workplace. We've led the way to perming sideshields without rivets. We've created the patented Flip n' Grip collection to prevent glasses from slipping. And now we offer the first collection of rimless safety eyewear.

The pursuit of high competence in every area is what the DesignGard line is all about. Rigourously safety minded. Reliable. Fashionable. Comfortable.
