Redefining Standards: Raising the Bar in Eyewear Excellence
When a once-reliable brand changed ownership and its quality faltered, the Pino family refused to continue dispensing them to their customers. With over 22 years of trust built within their eye care practices, they knew their loyal customers deserved better. Thus, Hook Optics Premium Polarized Sunglasses was born. The Pino’s are redefining the standards in eyewear, delivering superior performance, style, and durability. They are raising the bar by using cutting-edge technology. This ensures that every pair of Hook Optics polarized sunglasses not only meets their high standards but also elevates industry expectations, providing the excellence you deserve. Due to their standards, in a short time, Hook Optics has gained popularity and are now being recognized as some of the best polarized sunglasses for fishing today.
Crafting the Ultimate Fishing Sunglasses
The Pino family, passionate anglers and seasoned professionals, embarked on a mission to create the ultimate fishing sunglasses. Bob Pino, an optician with over four decades of experience, knew firsthand the necessity for sunglasses that could endure nature’s harsh elements. Niki Pino, an experienced designer and business manager, sought out the finest factories and partnered with Zeiss, a leader in lens manufacturing.
Their sons, Anthony and Chris, brought invaluable expertise. Anthony, a tournament-winning Charter boat Captain, offered insights into lens color development. Chris, an accomplished angler and the Chief Operating Officer of Hook Optics, steered the business towards success. Together, they aimed to produce the best sunglasses on the market.
Commitment to Excellence
The Pino family’s dedication culminated in the launch of Hook Optics Premium Polarized Sunglasses. Their vision was clear: provide durable, stylish, and optically superior eyewear. This venture wasn’t just about another product; it was about setting a new standard of excellence.
Community Connection
Through unwavering dedication, innovation, and community connection, Hook Optics has emerged as a beacon of quality in the eyewear industry. Today, Hook Optics serves customers in nine countries, thanks to strong community support.
Giving Back
Hook Optics is deeply rooted in community values. They provide sunglasses to the Ocean City Beach Patrol, ensuring eye safety for those saving lives. They support organizations like Freedom Alliance Offshore Experiences and War Heroes on the Water.
The Pino family’s commitment to giving back extends beyond eyewear. They have been involved with Akita rescue through ARMAC for 30 years, actively rescuing Akitas. It is with a heavy heart they shared that Kono, their beloved 15-year-old Akita, that went to work daily with Chris in their Ocean City eyecare practice passed away peacefully at home on Memorial Day 2024. Kono attracted his own daily visitors and was a the star of the show at “An Optical Galleria” in Ocean City and will be greatly missed.
Vision Without Limits
Hook Optics is a story of family values, entrepreneurial spirit, and relentless pursuit of excellence. Their motto, “Vision Without Limits,” inspires you to follow your dreams and get “Hooked!”
