Where it started
Five generations of seeing clearly
Our family has been helping people see better since 1922. For five generations, eye care has been passed down from one generation to the next, along with a simple belief: great optics should be built right and priced fairly.
Island Optics is the newest chapter of that story. We took a century of know-how, put it into performance sunglasses made for life on the water, and kept the price where it should be.

Meet Josh, Matt & Adam
We're three brothers and the fifth generation of our family in eye care. We spend every day we can on the water, and every frame we make is one we'd wear ourselves: on the boat, on the flats and everywhere in between.
We're not a faceless brand. When you reach out, you're talking to us. Shoot us a message any time.

What we stand for
What we believe
Optics first
Every lens is OX2® polarized with UV400 protection, an anti-reflective coating and an anti-scratch layer. It's what five generations in eye care taught us to get right.
Priced with integrity
Big-brand quality without the big-brand markup. Premium polarized sunglasses start at $98, because great optics shouldn't be a luxury.
Built for the Sun™
Designed for fishing, boating and long days in the sun, with Gator Grip® to keep them locked in when it counts.
