How Eyecare Professionals Can Celebrate the 10th Annual National Eyewear Day with Zyloware on June 6
Zyloware Eyewear is proud to invite all eyecare professionals, optical retailers, and eyewear enthusiasts to celebrate the 10th annual National Eyewear Day on Friday, June 6, 2025. This year marks a decade of honoring the importance of vision health, stylish eyewear, and the impact of comprehensive eye exams on daily life.
National Eyewear Day, launched by Zyloware in 2015 and officially registered with the National Day Calendar, takes place each year on June 6 in honor of Zyloware founder Joseph Shyer’s birthday. The day was created to raise awareness about eye health and the critical need for regular comprehensive eye exams.
What's New for 2025
Zyloware continues to lead the charge with resources and celebrations designed to engage both professionals and the public. This year, Zyloware has updated its online ECP toolkit with brand-new additions:

Customer Welcome Packet: A helpful handout packed with essential information about eye care and the importance of vision health.
Also included in the toolkit are:
Printable posters and easel cards
Ready-to-use social media posts for Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and X
