The UVEX brand (uv-ex = ultraviolet excluded) was first introduced in the 1960s by Rainer Winter, managing director of UVEX Winter Holding Ding GmbH and Co. KG, based in Fürth, Germany, for a line of sunglasses. UVEX sports products extended from mid-seventies onwards to include the safety division. As a result, in the Western Hempishere (North, Central and South America) the UVEX brand name related to the safety division is now only used by the Sperian group (part of Honeywell International). UVEX sports products however are distributed by the UVEX group. In Eastern Hemisphere (Europe, Asia, Australia and Africa) the trademark rights for both divisions are still help by the UVEX group (Germany).

Prescription Orders
Over 95% of orders dispatched are delivered within the timeframes stated above, however, due to the nature of the glazing process, we can not guarantee specific delivery dates on prescription orders. Prescription lenses are made to very high standards with low tolerance for errors and are rigorously checked at all stages of production. Any error in the prescription across the lens, deficiencies in the coating or blemishes that cannot be removed means the lens would need to go back in production and re-made. All prescription lenses are also rigorously checked at Eyekit before dispatch and any errors will mean that the lenses as sent back to the glazer for replacing. We have a zero tolerance for errors to ensure our customers receive prescription eyewear to the highest standards and we will not compromise on these standards even if it means delivering eyewear later than expected.
