Scicon Sports Announces a Development Plan for Sports Glasses with Prescription Lenses

Scicon Sports, a leader in sports eyewear, continues to revolutionize the market with innovative solutions. Since launching its eyewear range in 2020, the Company has achieved extraordinary results: within just four years, it became a supplier to five World Tour teams, solidifying its position through a prestigious partnership with UAE Team Emirates and world cycling icon, Tadej Pogačar.

From the very beginning, Scicon Sports has been a pioneer in innovation. In 2019, the Company introduced personalized optometric consultations for supported teams, and in 2021, it launched the 3D Face Fit program, utilizing facial scanning technology to create custom nose pads. This groundbreaking approach has revolutionized vision care in professional cycling.

In 2025, the company is taking another major step forward, investing significant resources in research and development while collaborating with world-class experts.

Innovation and Design Center

Among the key figures driving this innovation is David Michaud, a Swiss designer with over 20 years of experience in sports eyewear. A graduate in industrial design from Los Angeles, Michaud is renowned for his ability to merge functionality and style. As the head of Scicon Sports’ Innovation and Design Center, Michaud leads the development of eyewear tailored to meet the demands of elite athletes.

optometric assessments

Joining him is Roberto Gambirasio, one of Europe’s leading optometrists. With extensive expertise in fitting high-prescription lenses on sports frames, Gambirasio is also a passionate cyclist who deeply understands athletes’ vision needs. He embodies the perfect blend of technical expertise and sporting passion.

“Participating in the UAE Team Emirates’ 2025 training camp was a unique opportunity,” said Filippo Stefanin, Factory Support Manager at Scicon Sports. “During the camp, Roberto Gambirasio conducted in-depth optometric assessments for over 120 team members, including riders, managers, and technical staff. The analyses included ocular dominance, auto-refractometry, binocular collaboration tests with Worth lights, and measurements of visual acuity for both near and distance vision. These tests provided invaluable data to develop custom vision solutions for athletes.”

UAE TEAM EMIRATES

Andrea Agostini, COO of UAE Team Emirates, adds: “The work Scicon Sports has done to monitor our Team’s vision health and provide prescription glasses for the season is incredible. When we choose our partners, we look not only for top-tier products but also for companies capable of meeting the ever-evolving needs of a team of our caliber. Our partnership with Scicon Sports is fundamental.”

Although Scicon Sports does not produce prescription lenses, its frames are designed to accommodate corrective lenses, even for high prescriptions. The range includes lifestyle glasses, optical inserts, and sports frames that combine functionality, style, and practicality.

With this new chapter, Scicon Sports is set to redefine the standards of sports eyewear, offering increasingly advanced products for today’s and tomorrow’s athletes.
