Just in time for back-to-school season, Florence by Mills and National Vision's America's Best brand teamed up to launch a Gen Z-focused eyewear collection with fashion-forward optical and sun styles. These joyful, confidence-boosting eyewear designs share the pastel colors that Millie Bobby Brown's Florence by Mills brand is known for, all while supporting eye health as younger generations use more screens.
"I started wearing glasses when I was 10 and could never find a frame that I really liked or made me feel confident," said Florence by Mills' founder Millie Bobby Brown, "So, I know better than anyone how eyewear can influence the way young girls feel about themselves. This collection is for someone like me who needs a stylish, fitted frame they can feel good in both day and night."
