Within the bounds of possibility

If you can see every obstacle in all lighting conditions, the next best time is within your grasp. This is exactly what evil eye creates the perfect conditions for. The pathline pro is a model on the market that combines the best features of the Austrian sports eyewear specialist. Perfect fit - on every head and every trail

Mountain biking and e-mountain biking are about going over hill and dale. What athletes need here is equipment that delivers what it promises. To achieve this, the best technologies were combined with years of experience in the development of sports eyewear in the Linz production facility and have now been united in one product with the pathline pro.

New Sweat Bar

The new Sweat Bar protects the eyes from the sun as well as from dust and sweat. The improved fit and the option to adjust the goggle angle with the tri.fit function make it an absolute must-have in terms of fit. The adaptive ventilation system significantly improves air circulation so that vision remains clear at all times, even when the athlete is pushing their limits. The new Lens Lock System also impresses with its innovative tilting mechanism, which makes it much easier to change lenses. The interchangeable lenses are available in 14 different filter colors, all of which can be optically glazed directly.

The frame itself and the look have also been refined. The new model is available in two different versions. The evil eye pathline.f pro is optimized for rounder face shapes. The features and design of these sports glasses will appeal to a wider target group. A unique scale structure at the end of the temples ensures a secure and non-slip grip - no matter how steep the route.

pathline pro makes athletes look better

And off the trail? The sweat bar can be removed in seconds. The new eye-catcher is an embossed logo application. This turns the multifunctional sports glasses into a lifestyle accessory. Because we all want to look good on the podium, evil eye scores twice in terms of looks. Firstly, because of the new design, and secondly, because only the best performance puts us on the podium. To achieve this, evil eye has developed the patented Light Stabilization Technology (LST)®, which makes evil eye filters unique. Because no two days are the same and no two trails are the same, the pathline pro is available with 14 different filter colors. LST® enhances the contrasts so that mountain bikers and downhillers immediately recognize every root and every bump. Trails in the forest become child's play, as the filter technology harmonizes rapid changes in light and shade. Even on open trails, glaring sunlight is dimmed. And those who stick to their training plan whatever the weather will love the new Lens Lock System. This makes it even easier to change the lenses in seconds and adapt them to the light conditions. All filter colors can also be adjusted to the individual prescription. This turns the sports glasses into optical glasses and nothing stands in the way of your personal best time.

First choice of the world champions

The pathline pro is in the starting blocks to inspire the sports world. This year's e-mountainbike cross-country world champion Joris Ryf has already impressed on the trails. Together with Nicole Göldi, E-MTB World Champion 2021 and 2022, the two Swiss luminaries are the faces behind pathline pro and underline the top quality and state-of-the-art technology of the sports glasses.

Sustainability and production made in Austria

Impacts, dirt, sweat, falling rocks: when mountain biking, sports equipment is exposed to extreme loads. No problem for the pathline pro. If something does break, each part of the goggles can be reordered individually if required. All individual parts are manufactured entirely at the production site in Linz. With "Made in Austria" and the option to customize the glasses at any time, evil eye guarantees long-lasting quality.

The pathline pro and pathline.f pro have been available from partner opticians, sports retailers and the online store at evileye.com since January 2024. Athletes can choose between two different sizes, a total of 12 new frame colors (matt and metallic) and 14 different lens colors.

The earlier, the better

A peer review process has once again confirmed the effectiveness of CooperVision's MiSight 1 day daily disposable contact lens in myopia management. It confirms that the eyes of children who wear MiSight 1 day disposable contact lenses from CooperVision develop in the same way as the eyes of emmetropic children.

Interested parties can read all the details of the 6-year study in the journal "Ophthalmic and Physiological Optics". The peer review "Six-Year Cumulative Treatment Efficacy of a Dual Focus Myopia Control Contact Lens" published there by the UK College of Optometrists is also freely accessible at https://doi.org/10.1111/opo.13240.

CooperVision has also published a video interview with two co-authors of the study on the Myopia Profile platform. In it, Paul Giffort and Kate Gifford from Myopia Profile discuss the effectiveness of MiSight with CooperVision's research and development managers, Arthur Bradley and Paul Chamberlain 1 day based on the study results. "Our study answers pressing questions from contact lens specialists about the long-term effectiveness of myopia management with MiSight 1 day," explains Chamberlain. "The study results clearly show that the disposable contact lens slows the progression of myopia. The detailed multi-center study design and the long study period of six years underpin the significance of the study. The publication shows contact lens specialists worldwide an evidence-based approach to halt the progression of increasing myopia in children".

The work shows that earlier myopia progression, emmetropic eye length growth and analysis methods for slowing progression can also be used to assess the effectiveness of myopia management. This is an important finding, as the age of the affected children means that a control group must be omitted for ethical reasons.

MiSight 1 day one-day contact lenses slowed eye growth to less than half of the growth observed in short-sighted children without MiSight 1 day. The eye growth of the children with the corrective lens thus corresponded to the normal growth rates of children without visual impairment. The research results also showed that the probability of eye growth of more than 0.3 millimeters within one to three years decreases by 95 percent in myopic children aged 8 to 12 years.

The study shows that short-sighted children should be fitted with MiSight 1 day as early as possible. The earlier they start wearing the corrective lens, the better the progression of myopia can be halted. In the long term, this can lead to

  • no need for costly vision correction later on.
  • the visual defect does not deteriorate further between check-ups.
  • the development and education of children is not impaired by myopia.
  • the children do not suffer from serious eye diseases later on.

MiSight 1 day from CooperVision, which is now available in more than 30 countries, is the first and only soft contact lens approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the correction of myopia and slowing the progression of myopia in children aged eight to twelve years. It is also the first soft contact lens approved by the Chinese NMPA with an indication to slow the progression of myopia in children aged eight to twelve at the start of treatment with a refraction of -0.75 diopters to -4.00 diopters and an astigmatism of 0.75 diopters. The MiSight 1 day is also CE-marked.

CooperVision also offers a range of orthokeratology contact lenses and ophthalmic lenses with Diffusion Optics Technology™ for myopia management.

License agreement for Plein Sport Eyewear

The Philipp Plein Group and De Rigo, a leading global player in the optical sector, are pleased to announce a worldwide license agreement for the design, manufacture and distribution of Plein Sport sunglasses and prescription eyewear.

The Plein Sport Eyewear collection is characterized by a style and positioning that underlines the unique and independent DNA of the activewear brand. A DNA of innovation and cutting-edge design that is the result of intensive development work, exceptional technical expertise and uncompromising quality.

"We are delighted to expand our partnership with the Philipp Plein Group.

And we are extremely pleased with this new license agreement, which confirms the great success of our collaboration with Philipp Plein and the mutual trust we have built up. Our collaboration is very successful and has great potential for growth," says Michele Aracri, Managing Director of De Rigo Vision.

Philipp Plein, CEO of the Philipp Plein Group, adds: "The collaboration with the international De Rigo Group, whose expertise and know-how in this product category has translated and transferred the standards of all our brands very well, makes me proud and satisfied. Plein Sport is a very ambitious project and the product fully meets the technical and aesthetic requirements of the brand and the market". The Plein Sport Eyewear collection has been available in the brand's boutiques since September 2023, and from January 2024 the collection will be distributed worldwide through De Rigo's distribution network.

The SSP001 model

The Plein Sport Tiger Frame, the first sunglasses in the Plein Sport collection worldwide, is an enveloping athleisure-style model for a decisive and bold look. The semi-rimless front piece has an injected acetate profile that extends to the strong temples, characterized by the iconic detail of the three-dimensional scratch mark. The ZEISS lens with multi-layered effect is personalized by the symbol of the tiger's tooth.

One from Hawaii

Maui Jim launches "Ekahi" (One from Hawaii) - the first collection to be developed since the brand joined the Kering Eyewear portfolio. It combines advanced technology with a fresh design approach and is characterized by diverse shapes, vibrant colors and distinctive details that reflect the beauty of Hawaiian nature and culture.

Inspired by an appreciation of light and color, Maui Jim's focus on innovation finds its highest expression in prescription technology and proprietary PolarizedPlus2 technology integrated into each lens to protect the eyes from harmful UV rays and enhance the wearer's visual experience.
PolarizedPlus2 consists of several layers of coating: A high-efficiency polarizing film that eliminates glare, color-enhancing technology for exceptional color and clarity, a scratch-resistant Clearshell coating for improved performance and durability, a water and oil repellent treatment that repels water and grease to keep lenses clean, an anti-reflective coating on the back that neutralizes glare from behind, and a treatment on the front that reduces light transmission while providing an appealing aesthetic.

The Ekahi collection was designed with elements associated with Maui Jim's identity. These elements are the Wavy Pattern, which evokes the ebb and flow of the ocean or the peaks and valleys of the island, the Hawaiian Native Pattern, which is inspired by the complex geometric patterns of traditional Hawaiian textiles, and the Slash, which is inspired by the dynamism of the Maui Jim logo. As a tribute to Maui Jim's roots, each model in the Ekahi collection bears a Hawaiian name.

The collection consists of three main segments: MauiPure, MauiBrilliant and SuperThin Glass, each named after a specific lens material. Thanks to their specific properties, the brand's models are perfect for outdoor sports and outdoor lifestyle. They appeal to different tastes and target groups, from experienced athletes and adventure seekers to the young, trendy Generation Z.
The MauiPure segment, which in turn is divided into Icon Pure and Entry Pure, is particularly appreciated by outdoor enthusiasts who are looking for cool, sporty and active shapes for outdoor life and adventures.

The rimless Icon Pure goggles bear the unmistakable visual codes of Maui Jim such as the wavy pattern and the slash. The slash on the temple tips and retro-inspired details such as the raised Maui Jim logo from the 80s can also be found on the Entry Pure.

Pure brilliance

When an icon is born, the world celebrates - sometimes even twice. The Titan Minimal Art Sun from Silhouette inspires people around the globe. And beyond. It is not only ready for the catwalk, but also certified for outer space. This year, the Titan Minimal Art Sun collection pays homage to its great past: 25 years of rimless lightness, optimum eye protection and around two grams of pure Austrian brilliance. The first choice for 25 years - and not just for space missions!

The Titan Sun Flight Crew 2024 consists of five new members. NASH is a sporty aviator frame with a double bridge and athletic lines. AVIOR is a classic masculine shape for C-suite performers. ADARA is a stylish and feminine silhouette with a wide, timeless look. CALEUM unisex eyewear is characterized by its modern cut, is fashionable and slightly oversized. And finally, the professional unisex glasses FELIS is an aviator-style model that embodies the typical Silhouette style.

The optimized frame consists of a pressed titanium wedge that merges smoothly into the flex zone to allow better access. The temples have ultra-precise flex zones and pressure points. They therefore provide the best wearing comfort around the clock. The nose bridge is 20 percent thinner and more delicate, creating the most aesthetic look ever seen in Titan Minimal Art.

Although the Titan Minimal Art will always be known for its groundbreaking design without screws and hinges, the new collection with its hyper-flexible temples makes a technological quantum leap that defies all earthly logic. Silhouette has invested as much time and energy into the lasting comfort and durability of the product as one would expect for a space expedition into new territory. "We have combined the best features of the Titan Minimal Art Sun from the past 25 years with technical upgrades in design and premium materials," summarizes Michael Schmied. He is CMO of the Silhouette Group and grandson of the company founders.

Fielmann Group increases sales

The family-owned company Fielmann has expanded its market share in key markets, exceeded its Vision 2025 sales target and improved its EBITDA margin. This was achieved despite persistently high inflation rates, rising interest rates and subdued consumer sentiment.

The preliminary figures for the 2023 financial year show that the Fielmann Group's external sales in 2023, including VAT and changes in inventories, rose by around 12% to EUR 2.27 billion (previous year: EUR 2.03 billion). Group sales also grew by 12 per cent to 1.97 billion euros (previous year: 1.76 billion euros). These figures are in line with the forecast communicated in September and confirmed in November.

Growth in the existing markets

According to Fielmann, this positive development was driven by strong organic growth in the existing markets (+8% year-on-year) and additional growth through acquisitions (+4%). Investments in digitalization and internationalization boosted the disproportionate growth of the digital sales channels (+17% year-on-year), which generated external sales of over EUR 100 million for the first time (5% of the Group's total sales). The international markets continued their strong growth and achieved the largest share of total sales to date in Q4/2023 at 35%, an increase of 14 percentage points compared to 2018 - the starting point for Vision 2025.

Profitability improved

In financial year 2023, the Fielmann Group significantly improved its profitability and increased its EBITDA margin by a whole percentage point: based on preliminary figures, EBITDA is expected to reach around EUR 410 million (+21%, previous year: EUR 340 million), while EBT will amount to around EUR 193 million (+20%, previous year: EUR 161 million). This positive development is mainly due to increased sales of varifocals, the cost-cutting program and lower marketing expenses than in the previous year.

Increase in the dividend

In view of the Fielmann Group's positive business performance, the Management Board and Supervisory Board will recommend an increased dividend of EUR 1 per share for the 2023 financial year (previous year: EUR 0.75) at the Annual General Meeting on July 11, 2024. The dividend yield, based on the year-end share price, amounts to 2.0%. The distribution amounts to 84 million (previous year: 63 million).

Outlook

In the fourth quarter of 2023 and early 2024, most markets were characterized by subdued consumer sentiment. In Germany, reduced growth forecasts reduced the propensity to buy. Despite these challenges, particularly in its home market, Fielmann remains optimistic that the Group will be able to further expand its market position in 2024 in view of the market share gains in the past financial year. Additional growth opportunities are seen in Eastern Europe, Spain and the USA. The consistent implementation of the cost-cutting program confident that profitability can also be further improved.

Ultra Limited goes ultra fresh

Italian brand Ultra Limited has unveiled four new sunglasses at Mido 2024. The brand, known for its unmistakable blend of elegance and modern style, proudly presented its brand new Lido, Pellestrina, Spargi and Potenza models.

Tommaso Poltrone comments: "We have decided to launch four brand new frames inspired by models that have become bestsellers over the last ten years. We have recognized their enduring appeal and have taken these concepts into a new era by combining their timeless essence with an incredibly attractive, fresh and colourful twist."

Fascinating design concept

Contrasting colors with sleek lines

This design concept, which was first introduced in September with the Bassano, Altamura and Valeggio models, gives the frames a new, fascinating complexity and modernity. The trio of cat-eye shaped models Pellestrina, Spargi and Potenza - introduced directly at MIDO - embody the modern style with a rich play of contrasting colors and sleek lines. While the beautiful octagonal Lido model promises to be a statement piece for those who appreciate bold and dynamic design choices.
