Dr.
Rudolph Kopfer stood at the top of a mountain in Sun Valley, Idaho
on one of those mixed snow and sunshine mornings, wondering
whether to wear a goggle or a sunglass for his first run. As he
watched skiers fumbling with their bulky goggles and uncomfortable
straps, he had an idea, “why can’t someone invent a goggle
that’s as comfortable and good looking as a sunglass… maybe a
goggle-in-a-sunglass?"
Dr. Kopfer, an Oral and Maxillo Facial Surgeon
decided to take on the challenge. Measuring the exact structure of
the facial bones on hundreds of skulls, he averaged the numbers
and came up with the exact fit curves. He worked for years to
miniaturize these fit curves and the other features of a goggle
and to fit them behind a sunglass frame.
After 8 years of
prototypes and extensive R&D with Harley riders, skiers,
snowboarders, cyclists, sailors and other outdoor athletes, Dr.
Kopfer patented the invention that offered the benefits of a
goggle, without the bulky look and feel. He started a company and
assembled a top-notch management team to build and distribute it.
Together, Kopfer's Dream Team offers more than a century of
combined experience in the sunglass industry. Panoptx was founded
in 1997, and today produces superior eyewear designed to offer the
highest level of protection and comfort, especially during
high-speed outdoor activities.
With the help of his team, Kopfer has created
an entirely new sunglass category, called "Windless Eyewear™”.
He is founder and head of research and development for Panoptx.
"Panoptx will forever change the
performance you expect from a sunglass",
