The Optical Foundry, founded in 2002 and based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, coordinates a collective of nine independent eyewear brands along with Sayduck's virtual try-on technology. It serves optical professionals by delivering a curated range of eyewear, digital trial capabilities, and ongoing support. The organization employs a mid-sized workforce. Operating in the retail apparel and fashion sector, the company positions itself as a platform that helps independent practices by offering diverse products and tools. A central tenet is independence for independents, aligning its services with smaller, owner-operated eyewear businesses. In December 2025, The Optical Foundry announced the launch of its Spring 2026 Collection.
