THE TOOZ OPTICS ARE NOT ONLY FEASIBLE TO CREATE BUT ALSO DESIRABLE FOR DAILY USE

Our Mission

Upgrade normal prescription glasses with digital screens through tooz optical engines which enable cost-effective, unobtrusive and turnkey smart glasses solutions.

Our Story is Unique

With the mission to upgrade everyday prescription glasses with digital screens, we develop optical systems and solutions for smart glasses with and without prescription. The smart glasses technology by tooz unleashes a variety of new use cases across industries, in the health sector and for end consumers in everyday life.

With scalable and cost-effective manufacturing processes, tooz offers a full range of services covering optics, frame design and electronics for both B2B and B2C applications. As well as selling complete solutions like the tooz DevKit, tooz is also able to support third parties in developing their own smart glasses solution.

We are continuously innovating our optical engineering and smart glasses technology at our headquarters and pilot lab in Aalen, Germany.
