About Wiley X
Founded in 1987 by U.S. Army veteran Myles Freeman Sr. under the name Protective Optics, Wiley X has become the most trusted name in protective eyewear. Every frame in the collection meets ANSI Z87.1+ high-velocity and high-mass impact safety standards — the same rigorous certification required for industrial and military use — while delivering the style and comfort of premium fashion eyewear.
Wiley X is the only premium eyewear brand with a full collection of ANSI-rated safety frames that are also prescription-ready. Their proprietary Captivate polarized lenses use color-enhancing technology to boost contrast and clarity in any environment, from bright sun to overcast skies. Whether you need protection on the job site, performance on the water, or simply want the peace of mind that comes with ballistic-rated lenses in your everyday glasses, Wiley X delivers without compromise.
