ECP Creation
Noon Shop was born after ophthalmologist Anna Park, M.D., couldn’t find a pair of glasses to properly fit her son.
“Optimized vision is important for anyone's quality of life," Dr. Park tells EB. "Every person, regardless of their facial features, should be able to find eyewear comfortable enough that they aren't aware of it sitting on their face throughout the day."
Noon Shop houses two eyewear brands: Steel Brown, incorporating medical-grade stainless steel and featuring a signature W-shaped endpiece to adhere to the wearer’s head; and Dormann, featuring a patented screwless snap hinge.
