UNIQUE DESIGN MILANO: INDEPENDENT EYEWEAR STARTUP In the eyewear industry, dominated by licensing giants reliant on luxury brands, few openings exist for independent players. Unique Design Milano (UDM), a standout case, defies norms. Birthed by Stefano Romanelli and Mattia Colleoni during their academic tenure, UDM sprouted from a "Made in Italy" project by Romanelli. Against odds, it burgeoned into a 700,000-euro enterprise in five years, pandemic setbacks notwithstanding. A departure from the norm, UDM thrives as a testament to innovation and perseverance, carving a distinct path in the eyewear industry.

The findings indicate that the advantages of wearing blue light glasses while using digital devices like computers and smartphones are not as pronounced as previously believed. The study suggests that these specialized glasses may not significantly outperform their regular counterparts in terms of shielding the eyes from potential harm caused by prolonged screen time.
