Smile For Me Poly 1.59 lens

Smile For Me is a private-label or specialized brand of corrective ophthalmic lenses, typically associated with Fielmann, a leading German eyewear retailer. The 'Poly 1.59' indicates the material is polycarbonate with a 1.59 refractive index, known for being impact-resistant and lightweight. While the brand is managed from Germany, the physical manufacturing of these high-tech optical components often occurs across an international network of production sites, including facilities in Germany and elsewhere in Europe or Asia, depending on the specific prescription requirements.

The ultimate ownership of the brand lies with Fielmann Group AG, headquartered in Hamburg, Germany. Fielmann has grown from a single shop opened in 1972 to a dominant European eyewear designer, manufacturer, and retailer. The company verticalizes its operations, meaning it manages everything from the initial design and production of frames and lenses to the retail sale in its extensive branch network. This integrated approach allows them to offer individualized prescription products like the 'Smile For Me' series under their corporate umbrella.
