A medical issue called ‘Steven Johnsons Syndrome’ had made his eyes extra-vulnerable to becoming too dry. I remembered Bugz and recommended them, mildly surprised we still carried them. How did we happen to still be inventorying Bugz? Hadn’t they gone out of business a couple of decades ago? I needed to investigate further. Except for using the internet and Google for ten minutes, no direct research was involved… The story that follows is partly factual, and is partly made-up of my guesses. Once upon a time there was a dentist who loved swimming a lot more than being a dentist, and he wanted to create and manufacture a better swim goggle.
He was so passionate about this he persuaded some of his dental patients to allow him to make plaster casts of their face around their eyes. Then, using this unique library of face-casts he worked with a Japanese precision plastic molding company to create a better fitting and more comfortable swim goggle.
Today this pioneering company is the world’s leading producer of swim goggles.įast forward a few years and the dentist had become older and decided to retire. His son is going to take over the successful goggle business. The now-in-charge son notices the ‘motorcycle boom’ of the 1990’s and maybe he also is a rider (?), so he decides to apply the same innovative design ideas and precision manufacturing qualities that went into the swim goggles to the field of motorcycle rider goggles.
