ATLANTA—NBA basketball legend, sports analyst, businessman and philanthropist Shaquille O’Neal has been working on an eyewear partnership with Zyloware for several years. That effort also led to a collaboration for an exclusive S/O Shaquille O’Neal eyewear collection for MyEyeDr.





Last November, Shaq paid a visit to a MyEyeDr. here and experienced his first eye exam in many, many years. He met with MED’s Dr. Artis Beatty and others on the professional team for a comprehensive eye health exam and then chose a frame wardrobe for his new Rx pairs. During a video of the detailed exam, including retinal scans, O’Neal exclaimed “Eye exams have come a long way!”

MyEyeDr. posted about the visit on social media platforms saying, “We’re working with Shaq to get the word out that everyone deserves personalized vision health and wellness care, and frames as unique as they are. Have you gotten your exam lately?”

A spokesperson added, “MyEyeDr. has been working with Shaquille O’Neal not only on his exclusive line of frames, but also on ways to provide greater access to vision care and eyewear for youths in underserved communities.” More on the project will be revealed later this year, executives said.
