Ital-Lenti
Italian precision lenses, crafted since 1955
Ital-Lenti has been crafting precision eyewear lenses in Italy since 1955 — a family-run company now in its third generation, with a heritage that even includes producing cobalt-coated visor lenses for NASA's Apollo space missions.
History
Founded in 1955 in Puos d'Alpago, in the Belluno Dolomites, Ital-Lenti remains family-owned across three generations. In 2004 it became the first Italian lens maker to produce free-form progressive lenses with the progression calculated on the internal surface, pioneering a technique that is now standard across the industry.
Specialties
Their catalogue spans free-form progressive lenses, office and computer lenses, single-vision lenses in every material, photochromic and polarised sun lenses, blue-light and UV protection, and a dedicated myopia-control range for children — all produced with medical-device-grade quality certification (ISO 13485).
Why we partner with them
We choose Ital-Lenti for the rare combination of artisan customisation and full production automation: highly personalised prescriptions delivered with Italian craftsmanship, clarity, and comfort in every pair of glasses.
Divel Italia
Prescription and sun lenses, Italian since the 1950s
Divel Italia has been crafting eyewear lenses since the early 1950s, growing from a small Emilia-Romagna glassworks into one of Italy's respected names in both prescription and sun lenses.
History
Founded around 1950 near Bologna — originally melting glass for sunglass lenses using the region's natural gas — Divel Italia was among the first companies in Europe to produce organic CR39 plastic lenses in the 1970s. The Divel Italia brand was formally established in 1987, organised into dedicated ophthalmic, sun-lens, and sales divisions.
Specialties
Divel produces progressive, office, bifocal and single-vision prescription lenses alongside a wide range of fashion sun lenses, in materials from CR39 and polycarbonate to trivex and mineral glass, with hydrophobic, photochromic, polarised, anti-reflective and blue-light treatments.
Why we partner with them
Their flagship Aurora 4D free-form technology is engineered to fractions of a micron, and their dual expertise across technical optics and fashion eyewear means we can fit our customers with Italian craftsmanship behind every pair of glasses.
