About Us

Hello, my name is David Salk, founder of eClips. I’ve been an optician my entire professional life and own a high end practice in Berkeley, CA - The Focal Point.

I have always enjoyed mathematics and optics, and have a passion for lens designs and the science behind them.

I was the inventor of the first rimless custom clip (patented), perfecting the use of memory metal for use in rimless clips, and compression mounts to attach clip-on lenses. I collaborated with Larry Leight to design flip up clips for Oliver Peoples, and wrote software to automate the procedures for drilling our clip lenses.

Besides optics, my other interests are time with my wonderful family and friends and music…I perform with “Rock4Sight” – it’s one of the high points of my year.

Although eClips have been around for a while, we NEVER stop our efforts to get better, to expand our technology and offer new products that can improve people’s vision. With that in mind, we’re very excited about our new Blue Logic 365 Lenses™ – This lens is a superior blue light filter, addressing blue light problems day and night, indoors and out.

We believe that eClips are the perfect vehicle to provide the BEST blue light protection, without the use of highly reflective coatings, or tints that must be worn all of the time. We believe that the optical industry and the public will continue to become aware of the adverse effects of electronic devices on vision and sleep cycles – and eClips has affordable options to address these issues. 

And of course, we continue to offer our custom made rimless sunglass clip-ons in a variety of designs and lens options. To those who have supported us over the years, our sincere gratitude. For those who haven’t worked with us recently, we hope to have the opportunity to share our enthusiasm for optics, premium quality clips, technology and service.

Best Regards,

David Salk, founder, eClips
