Eyelation kiosk secures expansion funds

January 23, 2014

Eyelation Inc. has cloded a $1.3 million funding round led by the Chicago-based angel investing group IrishAngels. The funding will allow Eyelation to continue the expansion of its safety eyewear kiosk program at manufacturing plants around the U.S. with key distribution partner Honeywell, the company said in a news release.

The Eyelation kiosk program assits companies in meeting safety needs while alleviating the time, money and complexity of traditional safety eyewear programs, the release said. Employees can order prescription safety eyewear from an on-site kiosk, eliminating the need for on-premise opticians and off-site visits.

Safety Administrators track employee purchases and extract data from the secure benefit management system. Complex benefit structures and purchasing restrictions can be set up for different departments or specific individuals.

"We are incredibly excited to have the IrishAngels group as a key investor in our company," said Bradley Kirschner, CEO and founder of Eyelation. "As Eyelation continues to grow, we value having good people around us that want to help drive success."
