MIAMI, July 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Innovative Eyewear, Inc. ("Innovative Eyewear" or the
"Company") (NASDAQ: LUCY; LUCYW), the developer & manufacturer of smart eyewear
under the Lucyd®, Lucyd Armor®, Reebok®, Eddie Bauer®, and Nautica® brands, is pleased to announce that it has developed a new Claude AI integration for its smart eyewear products, launching next week for all models of Lucyd glasses.

The new integration provides fast, free access to the powerful Claude AI from Lucyd smart
glasses via the Lucyd app. In the first version launching next week, the user activates the
functionality by opening the Lucyd app, then chooses their preferred Claude model, and
converses with it using the audio interface on Lucyd glasses.

Some key features of the update:

• Multiple AI models in one place chat with the best of OpenAI (ChatGPT) and Claude
  from a single screen.
• Switch models mid-conversation move from ChatGPT to Claude without losing
  context; the conversation continues seamlessly.
• Understands your images and documents upload a photo or a PDF and ask anything;
  the AI analyzes the content and responds.
• AI image generation create images from a simple prompt and save them straight to
  your photo library with a single tap.
• Incognito Mode private, ephemeral conversations that are never saved; when you
  leave, they're automatically wiped from the server.
• Conversation history pick up any past chat right where you left off, organized by date.
• Rich content rendering displays code with syntax highlighting, math formulas, tables, and formatted text, all natively.
• Answers with sources when the AI pulls from the web, it shows its sources so you can verify the information.
• Real-time streaming responses text appears word by word as the AI responds, for a fluid, immediate experience.

In a future update, anticipated to launch in late Q3 2026, users will be able to query Claude with the phone locked and in their pocket. This is similar to the Company’s groundbreaking hands-free ChatGPT integration, which was the first hands-free voice interface for the world’s largest LLM.

Harrison Gross, CEO of Innovative Eyewear said, “This is an important step forward in our
mission to make the most flexible and powerful AI glasses on the market. We have a pending patent on multi-AI access glasses, and we are bringing this incredible functionality to all our customers at no additional cost. We envision that in the future, the Lucyd user can access several of the world’s most powerful AI models with a simple voice command, through its designer, lightweight, smart eyewear. We believe that this is the most practical way to expand human abilities through wearables. We look forward to continuing to Upgrade Your Eyewear ® with useful smart features that make you more aware, knowledgeable, and more easily connected to the people and systems you care about.”

Smart safety eyewear just got a lot more accessible. Today we’re announcing a partnership that brings Lucyd Armor to 345 FYidoctors and Visique clinics, our first national launch in Canada.

It’s a big step. It’s also the right kind of step, because the people who wear glasses every day are exactly the people smart eyewear was built for.

What’s happening

Innovative Eyewear (NASDAQ: LUCY) is partnering with FYihealth group, the operator behind FYidoctors, Visique, BonLook, and solis optics. The rollout centers on Lucyd Armor smart safety eyewear, landing across 345 FYidoctors and Visique locations, predominantly in Canada and California.

The launch runs through Visiguard, FYihealth group’s branded program for prescription safety eyewear. Initial product placement is expected to begin in Q3 2026.

For Lucyd, this is our first national launch in Canada, a market worth an estimated $9.3 billion in eyewear. That’s not a soft entry. That’s a national footprint from day one.

Why it matters

Most smart accessories live on your wrist or in your pocket. Smart eyewear lives on your face, and for millions of people, that face already needs vision correction. Smart eyewear is also a medical device, which means it benefits from something a gadget store can’t offer: a real eye care professional.

That’s the whole idea behind this partnership. You get precise vision correction, certified eye protection, and smart features in one pair, fitted by the people who already handle your prescription.

From the people building it

“We are very excited about the potential of this relationship to make smart safety eyewear more accessible and affordable across Canada,” said Harrison Gross, CEO of Innovative Eyewear. “FYihealth group is an excellent partner for us, as bespoke eye care is an essential component of smartglass adoption by their most natural users, those who wear eyeglasses every day. Unlike many other smart accessories, smart eyewear is also a medical device that benefits significantly from the personalized touch of an eye care professional. With this partnership, we have made it easier than ever for Canadian patients to Upgrade Your Eyewear with our incredible smart features, while also receiving precise vision correction and protection from FYihealth group’s extensive Canadian lab capabilities.”

“We are thrilled to be partnering with Innovative Eyewear to bring Lucyd Armor smart safety eyewear to our customers across Canada,” said Scott Shaw, VP of Retail and Merchandising at FYihealth group. “This collaboration is a meaningful step toward expanding our offering within our Visiguard safety program and making smart safety eyewear more accessible to Canadians. We look forward to offering our patients this innovative technology through our network of eye care professionals.”

About the partner

FYihealth group is Canada’s leading diversified healthcare organization, doctor-led and patient-focused, operating over 370 locations across Canada and the USA. It’s a Platinum member of Canada’s Best Managed Companies, certified as a Great Place to Work in both Canada and the USA, and has landed on the Globe & Mail’s Canada’s Top Growing Companies list for five consecutive years. The organization also backs the FYidoctors Mobile Optometry Clinic and supports the next generation of optometrists through partnerships with leading vision science schools.

In short: a serious partner, with the reach and the clinical depth to do this right.

What’s next

Look for Lucyd Armor to begin appearing in FYidoctors and Visique clinics starting Q3 2026. If you’re in Canada and you wear glasses to work, this one’s for you.

MIAMI, April 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Innovative Eyewear, Inc. ("Innovative Eyewear" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: LUCY; LUCYW), the developer & manufacturer of smart eyewear under the Lucyd®, Lucyd Armor®, Reebok®, Nautica®, and Eddie Bauer® brands, is pleased to announce the receipt of the Retailer's Choice Award for Lucyd Armor, at the National Hardware Show event in Las Vegas. The North American Hardware and Paint Association's Retailer's Choice Award is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year of recognizing innovative products in the hardware channel.

Lucyd Armor has been the Company's fastest-growing collection to-date, driven by the need for practical, handsfree connectivity and eye protection in industrial verticals. The collection's sporty styling makes it flexible for use at work and leisure, adding to its general appeal and making the product suitable for a multitude of different lifestyles.

The U.S. safety eyewear market is a durable, steadily growing segment of the broader personal protective equipment industry, driven by regulatory mandates and persistent workplace risk. Valued at approximately $370–400 million in 2024, it is projected to exceed $650 million by 2033, representing a 6–7% CAGR. Demand is anchored by rigorous enforcement of OSHA standards requiring eye protection across high-risk sectors including construction, manufacturing, healthcare, and energy. Concurrently, the market is undergoing a meaningful transformation with the rise of smart and connected eyewear, shifting the category from passive protection to integrated productivity and communication platforms. The global smart eyewear market is expected to grow rapidly, expanding from approximately $1 billion in 2024 to over $4 billion by 2030, representing a ~25–30% CAGR.

Harrison Gross, CEO of Innovative Eyewear, commented on the award: "Lucyd Armor has been transformational since we launched it a year and a half ago, enabling our company to deliver highly functional smart eyewear for workforces around the world. I believe the product is a standout because it provides a unique mix of handsfree smart features, AI access, patented walky-talky functionality and of course vision correction and protection, with the required safety certifications for high impact workplace use. The hardware channel hasn't witnessed many safety eyewear innovations of late, and I think that's part of the reason Armor has been so well-received by thousands of workers around the world. True to our mission to Upgrade Your Eyewear®, Lucyd Armor offers significant connectivity and intelligent support features over traditional safety glasses. That's why I believe it could become a global standard for safety eyewear."

The Company welcomes prospective resellers and safety managers to reach out to Matthew Berry, Director of Safety Sales, at mberry@lucyd.co for a demonstration.

• Gasket attachment for periphery particle protection.
