Growing up,Todd Huschka heard many people say he was lucky to have his mother’s perfect eyes. But at age 36, he was diagnosed with cataracts in both eyes. Unfortunately, they rapidly grew worse.Within six months,Todd could barely see. He eventually had surgery that replaced his natural lenses. But like many cataract patients,Todd lost his ability to focus at close range and required reading glasses.
For as long as they’ve been around, reading glasses have basically had the same design with little room for individuality and self-expression.Todd has launched Esotika, LLC which is the first brand to truly change up the game with a concave lens that is not only more functional, but also more stylish. The glasses have the added benefit of not hiding the wearer’s eyes and actually fostering eye contact with others.
This merger of fashion and function is a testament to Huschka’s background in design. “As a designer, I believe that designs should be beautiful and unique and useful all at once, that’s exactly what Esotika eyewear represents.”
