SILMO Paris Launches Sixth Optical Design Competition for 2027 Anniversary

SILMO Paris has officially launched the sixth edition of its Optical Design Competition, scheduled for 2027 to coincide with the organization's 60th anniversary. The competition operates under the theme "Reinventing the Codes," inviting global design students to submit innovative concepts that challenge traditional paradigms in the optical industry. Belgian designer Alain Gilles has been appointed as the president of the jury, a decision highlighted by earlier reports from EyeSmart on November 2, 2026, which emphasized his role in evaluating emerging talent. Subsequent reports from INVISION and The Optical Journal later that same day confirmed the launch of this specific edition, reiterating the eligibility criteria and thematic focus. A new report from FréquenceOptic on November 2, 2026, at 17:06 introduces conflicting details regarding participant eligibility, specifying that the competition invites design students globally who are in their third, fourth, or fifth year. This contrasts with earlier reports from EyeSmart and INVISION, which broadly stated eligibility for design students aged 18 and over without mentioning specific academic years. While all sources agree on the core details regarding the anniversary context, the jury leadership, and the general thematic focus, they diverge on the precise academic requirements for participants. Neither the earlier nor the latest reports provide further specifics on submission deadlines, detailed judging criteria, or prize structures beyond the general framework.

MYKITA opens third US store in Beverly Hills

Berlin-based design house MYKITA has opened a new eyewear retail location in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles. This boutique marks the brand's third store in the United States, continuing its strategy of expanding its physical presence through specialized retail environments. The space features an interior concept designed by Berlin studio Gonzalez Haase AAS, described as light and open. Earlier reporting highlighted that the store incorporates a new integrated vision care service, representing an evolution from traditional retail models by combining high-end eyewear with comprehensive vision solutions. While initial reports focused on the architectural innovation and the specific inclusion of vision care services, subsequent coverage emphasized the milestone of this being MYKITA's third US location. The involvement of Gonzalez Haase AAS underscores the brand's commitment to aesthetic consistency across its global locations. Current information confirms the opening and the general design approach, though specific details regarding the full scope of the vision care offerings or exact launch events remain limited in the available reporting.

Hoya Reports Stronger Overall Growth in Q2 2026, Contrasting with Earlier Health Care Segment Data

EyewearSearch News has received conflicting reports regarding Hoya Corporation’s financial performance for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026. An earlier report from Eyewear Intelligence, dated November 1, stated that revenues within the Health Care business segment—which encompasses eyeglass and contact lens activities—increased by 0.7 percent year-on-year to ¥120.0 billion. This initial data suggested a period of stability and marginal growth for Hoya's core lens operations. However, a newer report from Vision Monday, published on November 2, presents significantly different figures for the same reporting period. According to this latest account, Hoya reported a 10.9 percent year-over-year revenue increase to 260.2 billion yen for the quarter ended September 30, 2026. The report further notes that operating profit rose by 27 percent during this timeframe. While the Vision Monday article references the Life Care segment, it does not explicitly reconcile these higher aggregate figures with the previously cited Health Care segment data. Consequently, there is an unresolved discrepancy between the modest 0.7 percent growth attributed to the specific health care lens division and the robust 10.9 percent overall revenue growth reported in the subsequent update. Both sets of figures remain unverified against each other, leaving the precise contribution of the eyeglass and contact lens divisions to the total quarterly performance unclear.
