Younger Optics Australia Pty Ltd

About

It all began more than 50 years ago with one man's vision to create a bifocal that wouldn't give away the wearer's age with its telltale lines. This desire led Irving Rips to develop the world's first "seamless bifocal", which was launched in 1955. Younger Optics - so named because the new lenses would make their wearer look younger - was born. Today, Younger is the world leader in Rx polarized sunwear with NuPolar brand lenses, and continues to be an innovative force in the optical world.

Since winning the first OLA Award of Excellence ever given (1987) for its specialty lenses, Younger has won a total of 24 OLA Awards, including two at the most recent OLA in 2011. From a company started in a garage to a world-class organization, Younger Optics was a true realization of the American Dream for founder Irving Rips, who was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award in 1992.

In addition to being the world leader in prescription polarized lens sales, Younger Optics is also a leader in specialty products, and are 3rd in the world in Transitions. Younger has become an international company with Sales and Distribution offices in Europe (Prague) and Australia, and new representation in Central and South America and in Canada.
