Attention Tiger Fans!
Since 2015, DIFF has donated over 1,400,000 pairs of reading glasses to individuals in need around the world — that’s only the beginning of it.

Socially conscious and charitable at heart, the DIFF Eyewear family strives for the perfect pair – handcrafted with designer quality materials and delivered to you with love. We use premium materials and maintain exceptionally high standards for quality and social responsibility. Designed in our Southern California studio, each pair of frames is handmade with care.

Contrary to popular understanding, however, having 20/20 vision isn’t the entire story of healthy eyesight. It’s only a tiny fraction; it simply means that you can see something clearly from 20 feet away without glasses. That doesn’t account for a wide range of vision problems unrelated to basic refractive errors, and those are likely to remain undiagnosed and untreated without a comprehensive eye exam.
Making sure they can see clearly plays a more important role to a child’s education than most people realize. Did you know that up to 80% of a child’s learning is linked to their vision? Good eyesight is crucial for academic success, social life, and participation in sports.
 
Do you know why people say carrots will give you good night vision? The British had just developed radar and didn’t want the Germans finding out how they were locating their planes at night, so they spread it as far and wide as they could that it was because their pilots were eating so many carrots. They were so successful that people are still repeating that today! 
Between our work computers, tablets, TVs, and smartphones, the average person can rack up a pretty staggering amount of daily screen time these days. That can be pretty taxing on the eyes. All it takes to create a 90% risk of digital eye strain is a mere two hours in front of a screen, so it’s no surprise that over ten million people go to their eye doctors about it every year.
