Because we are the sunglass brand for the outdoor adventure culture, Optic Nerve feels strongly in supporting organizations that support the growth and sustainability of that culture, as well as helping those that are less fortunate. As the ski season kicks off, we have renewed our commitment to support a number of organizations with donations of over 1,000+ sunglasses::

Big City Mountaineers www.bigcitymountaineers.org
Snowboard Outreach Society (SOS) www.sosoutreach.org
NOLS www.nols.edu


Based in the mountains of Colorado, Optic Nerve has been making performance-driven, price conscious eyewear for nearly 25 years. During that time, we have continually found ways to blend style and technology to deliver eyewear durable and comfortable enough for any adventure one might find themselves on. And we do it at an affordable price point, offering high-end performance and a lifetime guarantee at prices that allows consumers to spend their money on other gear besides their sunglasses. All our styles have the same 100% UVA +UVB protection, lightweight, durable construction, and fashion-conscious styling that you’ll find I more expensive brands at fraction of the price.
