About Parallel Eyewear
At Parallel Eyewear, we believe in crafting quality eyewear that blends superior performance, authentic style, and a commitment to community. Our founder, David Johnson, is no stranger to the eyewear industry. With decades of experience including leadership roles as President of Callaway Eyewear and extensive collaborations with esteemed brands like FGX Foster Grant and Marchon Eyewear, David brings unparalleled expertise and a refined eye for detail to every frame we produce.
Our sunglasses are proudly manufactured in Mauritius, a global hub known for its remarkable craftsmanship, technical prowess, and commitment to excellence. Much like some of the most renowned international eyewear brands, we’ve chosen Mauritius for its skilled artisans who bring artistry and precision to each pair. The island’s legacy of quality manufacturing and our close, long-standing relationship with its people ensure that every component meets—and exceeds—our rigorous standards.
At the heart of Parallel Eyewear is our Neox™ lens technology. Engineered to deliver exceptional clarity, our lenses are infused with blue-blocking properties to reduce harmful light and protect your eyes, all while preserving the vibrant color and contrast of your surroundings. The result is eyewear that feels as good as it looks—durable, feather-light, and engineered to endure the demands of an active lifestyle. Our designs embrace the spirited essence of San Diego, weaving in the laid-back, fun-loving California vibe that inspires adventure.
Beyond our product, Parallel Eyewear is deeply dedicated to giving back. Through a variety of philanthropic endeavors, we’re committed to improving lives and uplifting communities. We believe that true success comes not just from what we make, but from how we make a difference. Whether you’re hitting the beach, the trail, or the urban streets, Parallel Eyewear stands behind you with exceptional quality, innovative technology, and a promise to do good—one pair of sunglasses at a time.
