About Us

METL Optix is the brainchild of U.S. Army veteran Chad Cox, who served with the 3rd Ranger Battalion in the 1990s. Our founder, inspired by the rigorous demands of the field and a passion for excellence, teamed up with his brother, a seasoned optometrist, to create a line of tactical eyewear that blends military-grade resilience with cutting-edge vision technology.

Our journey began when our founder left the military. Through the years he carried with him the ethos of the Rangers: “Lead the Way”. He observed a gap in the market for prescription eyewear that could meet the extreme needs of tactical professionals while also providing the precision and comfort demanded by discerning consumers. His brother, with a deep understanding of ocular health and a shared commitment to quality, brought invaluable insight into the design and functionality of our products.

Chad Cox forged METL Optix, a company dedicated to providing elite eyewear solutions. Our name, METL, stands for Mission Essential Task List, reflecting our commitment to offering products that are not only essential to the mission at hand but also embody the metal material that all our eyewear are crafted from.

Our eyewear is designed for warriors, adventurers, and professionals who refuse to compromise on quality. Each pair of METL Optix eyewear is a testament to the US. Army Rangers, crafted with the same tenacity and precision that defines them everyday.

At METL Optix, we’re more than just a brand; we stand behind every product we create, ensuring that our customers are equipped with nothing less than the best. Join us in our mission to see the world more clearly and conquer every challenge with confidence.
