ClearVision Optical Partners with Drexel University for Second Eyewear Design Course

ClearVision Optical has partnered with Drexel University’s Westphal College of Media Arts & Design for the second time on Applied Human-Centered Design (PROD 345). Led by Assistant Professor June He, the course challenges students to design eyewear for diverse users using research-driven methodologies. The collaboration began with a virtual visit from ClearVision President David Friedfeld, who introduced the project brief. Throughout the term, ClearVision designers provide feedback via virtual critiques and midterm reviews. Students engage in contextual research, facial structure analysis, and usability testing to develop inclusive concepts. The curriculum culminates in a final presentation at Drexel, where students present work to industry professionals, including ClearVision leadership. This initiative aims to connect academia with industry, fostering innovation in human-centered eyewear design.
