DIFF Eyewear
DIFF Eyewear is a Southern California charitable eyewear brand founded in 2014 that sells designer-quality sunglasses, blue-light and prescription glasses at accessible prices while donating vision care for every pair sold. Built on a buy-one-give-one model, DIFF pairs trend-driven, celebrity- and pop-culture-inspired collections (Disney, Star Wars, Harry Potter) with a philanthropic mission delivered through partners like Sightsavers, having funded well over a million pairs of reading glasses and eye exams for people in need.
