History
Ben and Laura Harrison founded Jonas Paul Eyewear in 2013, after their son Jonas was born with a rare eye condition called Peters Anomaly that rendered him blind. Twenty-one surgeries later, Jonas' vision was restored to a functional level. However, finding glasses for Jonas was a challenge, and this inspired Ben and Laura to launch Jonas Paul Eyewear.
The Harrisons self-funded the venture for two years before securing a seed round of investment in 2015. The investors in this round included Cliff Bartow, former CEO of Lenscrafters. Later that year, the company launched a home try-on kit
In February 2020, the company launched a brand of non-prescription kids sunglasses.
