Built by a Woman, for Women: The Story Behind Gleam Eyewear
At Gleam Eyewear, we believe that celebrating women shouldn’t be limited to just one month. While March is officially Women’s History Month, our mission is built around uplifting women every single day through meaningful design, powerful storytelling, and eyewear that inspires confidence.
A Brand Built by a Woman, For Women
A Brand Built by a Woman, For Women
As a woman-founded business, Gleam was born from lived experience. I started this brand because I was tired of overpaying for uninspiring eyeglasses and tired of not seeing women like me - strong, creative, trailblazing—represented in the eyewear industry. Every Gleam frame is designed with a purpose and crafted to fit the many facets of a woman’s life. Whether you’re looking for women's prescription glasses for everyday wear, blue light glasses for digital protection, or statement sunglasses that turn heads, Gleam is here to help you see clearly, confidently, and stylishly.
Inspired by Trailblazers, Designed to Empower
Our eyewear collections are inspired by real-life women who changed the world. From Rosa Parks, Frida Khalo, RBG to Dolly Parton, we name each frame after a history-making woman whose legacy continues to move us forward. These are the kinds of women who made space for others—and we hope our glasses do the same. Every pair of Gleam glasses and fashion frames is a tribute to their strength, resilience, and impact.
Our Mission: Empower Women, Support Girls
Through our support of Plan International’s Gifts of Hope: Give to Girls, a portion of each sale goes toward life-changing programs for girls across the globe—helping provide education, healthcare, protection, and economic opportunities. When you shop Gleam, you’re not just investing in your style; you’re investing in a future where girls are safe, supported, and unstoppable.
Watch the Gleam Story
This month, we released a new brand video sharing more about why I created Gleam, how the brand came to life, and what it means to empower women through eyewear. I’d love to invite you to watch it and learn more about our journey.

Our Vision is Clear
Our frames are more than accessories—they’re tools for vision, style, and self-expression. Whether you’re putting on your first pair of blue light glasses, upgrading your everyday prescription glasses, or grabbing statement sunglasses for sunny days ahead, Gleam is here to support you in seeing your life clearly—and boldly.
Because at Gleam, we don’t just make glasses. We create confidence. We amplify stories. We celebrate women.
