From the Baseball Diamond to Sports Eyewear Design: Domonic Brown Joins Bon Vivant Safety Eyewear as Shareholder and Designer We all know Domonic Brown as a powerhouse on the baseball field, but today, I’m thrilled to share that his next big play is happening off the field and in the world of safety eyewear. I’m proud to announce that Domonic Brown, former Philadelphia Phillies outfielder, has officially joined the Bon Vivant Safety Eyewear Company, Inc. family as both a shareholder and visionary designer. As a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Ophthalmic Goods Manufacturer, we’re driven by a commitment to excellence, and Domonic’s passion for sports and eye protection makes him the perfect fit for our mission. This partnership is more than just a headline—it’s a collaboration rooted in shared values and a mutual desire to innovate. Under our NINES sports safety brand, a joint venture between Bon Vivant Safety Eyewear Company, Inc. and Eye Ojo Corporation, Domonic will be channeling his sports expertise into designing a cutting-edge line of prescription and non-prescription sports glasses and baseball goggles. These aren’t just any eyewear; they’re crafted specifically with athletes in mind, ensuring that they’re not only functional but also stylish and durable. But that’s not all. Domonic will also be introducing Major League Baseball (MLB), Minor League and Collegiate Players, Coaches and Trainers, Baseball Enthusiasts and Fans, Parents and Families of Players, Outdoor Sports Enthusiasts, Youth Baseball Teams, Collectors, and Baseball Camps and Clinics to our NINES Polarized + NIRTECH® Sunglasses. This collaboration stems from a unique connection. As Anthony B. Miles, our founder, recalls: "Domonic and I met on 'Wolf PAC of Philadelphia,' a 'Shark Tank'-styled show featuring Philly entrepreneurs. The series featured Philadelphia-area business experts and investors, known as 'wolves,' giving advice and funds to entrepreneurs seeking to grow their companies. We immediately formed a bond." This is just the beginning of what promises to be an incredible partnership. We’re stepping up to the plate to bring you the very best in eyewear innovation, and we can’t wait to show you what’s next. With a focus on quality and innovation, our products include DiaVista, Bon Vivant, Nines Sunglasses, FirstLine Safety Goggles, SafetyVu Safety Eyewear, and FirstLine Personal Protective Equipment—all designed to meet the diverse needs of our customers. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue this exciting journey!

6 Signs and Symptoms of Diabetic Eye Disease - How Diabetes Affects the Eyes Living with diabetes means more than just monitoring blood sugar levels; it also involves paying close attention to your eye health. Here are 6 signs and symptoms of diabetic eye disease that you should never ignore: 1️⃣ Blurred Vision: Fluctuations in blood sugar levels can cause temporary blurriness, but persistent blurriness could indicate diabetic retinopathy or other eye conditions. 2️⃣ Floaters and Spots: Seeing dark spots or floaters in your field of vision might be a sign of bleeding in the eye, a common complication of diabetes. 3️⃣ Poor Night Vision: Diabetes can affect the eyes' ability to adjust to low light conditions, leading to difficulty seeing at night or in dimly lit environments. 4️⃣ Difficulty Reading or Seeing Close Objects: If you find it challenging to focus on close-up tasks like reading or threading a needle, it could be a symptom of diabetic macular edema, a complication of diabetic retinopathy. 5️⃣ Sudden Changes in Vision: Any sudden changes in vision, such as double vision or sudden vision loss, should be taken seriously and promptly evaluated by an eye care professional. 6️⃣ Eye Pain or Pressure: Pain or pressure in the eyes could indicate various eye problems associated with diabetes, such as glaucoma or diabetic retinopathy. Remember, early detection and treatment are crucial in managing diabetic eye disease and preserving vision. If you experience any of these symptoms, don't hesitate to schedule a comprehensive eye exam with your eye care provider. Your eyesight is priceless – let's protect it together! 👀💪 #DiabetesAwareness #EyeHealth #VisionCare 🌟

This goes beyond a typical medical advancement announcement... Nearly 180 days ago, I faced one of the most challenging decisions of my life – to reduce my role as an urban healthcare real estate developer and, as an over 50-year-old with service-disabled veteran status, embark on the journey of creating an Ophthalmic Goods Manufacturer start-up, Bon Vivant Safety Eyewear Company, Inc. It was your collective "why" that truly fueled my motivation. Fast forward to today, and our new brand, DiaVista, is about to make a significant impact in the realm of eyewear for patients, service members, veterans, beneficiaries, and employees across the United States, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, and the US Virgin Islands. This is made possible through our new LENSRLAB Supplemental Vision and Health Benefits Platform tailored for Government and Corporate Worksites. As I unbox the first four samples, showcasing our revolutionary DiaVista lens technology – a high-performance marvel crafted specifically for individuals with diabetes – within our exclusive branded frames, I am reminded of what can be accomplished with a focused vision. A heartfelt shoutout to our incredible team, including Dr. Chelise Firmin, Clinton Bush, Jennifer Marin, Phillip Davis, Doris J. Harris, Alexis Miles and Rodney Firmin, CPA, MBA, for their unwavering dedication and hard work. Another significant acknowledgment goes to all our investors, strategic partners, and employers who have placed their trust and belief in our BOLD VISION!
