New smart eyewear is the Company's first to use advanced TR90 plastic for improved adjustability and durability.

MIAMI, Nov. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Innovative Eyewear, Inc. (NASDAQ: LUCY; LUCYW), the developer of ChatGPT-enabled smart eyewear under the Lucyd, Nautica, Eddie Bauer and Reebok brands, announced today that it has officially launched the Lucyd Lyte 2024 Edition, bringing several improvements to the Company's core product line. Key improvements over previous models include improved adjustability and durability, reduced weight, and upgraded lenses.

Lucyd Lyte 2024 Upgrades:

• New TR90 Temple: A new flexible plastic composite is used in the frame temples and fronts, making Lucyd Lyte 2024 the Company's first smart eyewear that is fully optician-adjustable, from front to tip. This helps to ensure a proper fit on a much wider range of users than ever before. The additional flexibility also improves the overall durability of the frames. TR90 plastic is also lightweight, enabling the new glasses to be nearly 10% lighter than the last edition of Lucyd Lyte, improving from 48 to 44 grams.
• Improved Smart Features: The Lucyd app powers the new Lucyd Walkie experience, enabling users worldwide to connect with each other for free over the Company's VOIP-powered chat service. The ChatGPT integration has been upgraded to ChatGPT-4o. The frames' charging ports have been enhanced with higher power magnets to optimize the charging experience. Finally, a battery level feature can be used by long-pressing the button on either temple, to have the battery life remaining announced to the wearer. The wearer can also check the battery life of the frames by swiping down to view the control center on a connected smartphone or watch.
• Adaptive Lenses: The Darkside and Eclipse unisex wayfarer models include transitional lenses at no additional cost to the customer. The Millennia and Moonrise models include polarized gradient lenses for maximum sun protection.
• New Health & Safety Info: An improved 5-language manual and a detailed health and safety guide provide comprehensive instruction on the products.

"Lucyd Lyte 2024 brings several significant improvements to our flagship frames, most notably the improved TR90 materials enhancing durability, fit and comfort for all-day wear. The addition of photochromic light-adaptive lenses as standard on some of the units, often seen as a $75-$100 upgrade, are included here at no additional cost, makes these frames more versatile than ever and a tremendous value to the consumer," said Harrison Gross, CEO of Innovative Eyewear, Inc. "Our team continues to raise the bar for smart eyewear, by providing a best-in-class connectivity solution for working professionals and active lifestyles. For consumers who want more out of their daily eyewear, Lucyd Lyte 2024 is the ideal solution.
