Celebrating a Century of Excellence: Zyloware Receives Optical Lifetime Achievement Award

Amidst the innovative displays and cutting-edge technologies being shown at Vision Expo East, a momentous occasion unfolded; Zyloware was bestowed with the prestigious Optical Lifetime Achievement Award by the Now.

The passing of the baton from former 20/20 Magazine Editor-In-Chief, James Spina, to Chris and Jamie Shyer, symbolized not just an accolade, but a tribute to a legacy spanning over a century.

Being acknowledged with such reverence is more than just an honor; it's a testament to Zyloware's enduring influence and contribution to the eyewear industry. For 101 years, the Shyer family has been at the helm, steering Zyloware through the ever-evolving currents of fashion, technology, and customer service. This award is a tribute to Joseph Shyer's vision, his determination to create something timeless, something that would leave an indelible mark on the industry.

Yet, the journey of Zyloware transcends the efforts of one individual. It is a story of resilience, adaptation, and collective endeavor. Henry and Bob Shyer's steadfast commitment to business continuity during challenging times laid the foundation upon which Jamie and Chris built their own legacy. Their ability to pivot and respond to the shifting sands of the marketplace has been instrumental in sustaining Zyloware's relevance and vitality.

But behind every milestone, every achievement, lies the dedicated team members who breathe life into the company's vision every single day. Their unwavering support, loyalty, talent, and expertise are the driving force behind Zyloware's success. Without them, the journey from Joseph Shyer's humble beginnings to the pinnacle of industry recognition would have been inconceivable.

In receiving the Optical Lifetime Achievement Award, Zyloware not only honors its past but also embraces its future, it is a reminder that in an industry where trends come and go, true excellence endures. With each passing year, the company continues to evolve, to innovate, and to redefine the boundaries of what's possible within eyewear.
