ACE 2026 Pioneering Spirit: EssilorLuxottica
In a year that celebrates icons of style, honoring EssilorLuxottica for its pioneering achievements in technology underscores a powerful truth: the future of fashion is not only seen, it is experienced. While the ACE Awards have long recognized aesthetic excellence, this moment acknowledges innovation that profoundly transforms lives. Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta AI glasses bring communication, music, and real-time capture effortlessly to the wearer. Nuance Audio® Glasses redefines hearing support through discreet hearing aids in beautifully designed frames. And Essilor® Stellest® lenses mark a breakthrough in slowing myopia progression in children.
These advancements elevate eyewear into something far greater than an accessory — enhancing how we see, hear, and engage with the world. In honoring EssilorLuxottica, we recognize a new frontier where function and fashion are not simply aligned, but inseparable, delivering technology that is as transformative as it is elegant.
