Be More Than a Sponsor. Be the Face of Vision Strong Duval.
When you sponsor a frontline hero, you’re not just giving gear — you’re giving confidence, pride, and the upgrade of themselves.
Your support helps them feel capable, valued, and protected on the job. Every item you provide contributes to a new identity for the worker: someone who shows up ready, empowered, and recognized for the critical work they do.
- Premium Safety Goggles – built for real-world protection and designed to meet the toughest conditions, giving workers the confidence to focus on the mission, not worry about injury.
- Protective Accessories – lanyards, hard cases, and lens care kits, ensuring their gear is reliable and ready, so they can feel prepared every day.
- Ongoing Vision Support – guidance and tips for keeping eyes healthy on the job, reinforcing the sense that their well-being is valued.
Each item is crafted with military-grade precision and medical insight, developed by Anthony B. Miles during his service in the U.S. Navy Trident Nuclear Submarine Force — giving frontline heroes not just protection, but the identity of someone equipped, respected, and prepared to excel.
Frontline workers face hidden risks every day — bright lights, glare, and hazards that can harm their eyes.
But what you give them goes beyond protection. When you sponsor a hero, you’re not just preventing injuries — you’re uplifting their identity, giving them confidence, and helping them become the best version of themselves on the job.
Anthony’s experience aboard the USS Alaska (SSBN-732), Blue Crew, showed firsthand how quickly vision can be damaged under harsh conditions without the right protection. By supporting a frontline hero, you help them:
- Feel empowered and capable — reducing preventable eye injuries so they can focus on the mission without fear.
- Step into a new identity — improving on-the-job performance and confidence.
- Gain long-term security and pride — supporting the health and safety of those who protect our communities.
Sponsorship isn’t just about gear — it’s about creating purpose-driven heroes people want to be seen with, while aligning your brand with safety, leadership, and impact.
Your sponsorship changes lives — and identities.
When you sponsor a frontline hero, you’re not just giving safety gear — you’re giving confidence, pride, and the ability to show up as their best selves every day.
- Every hero you sponsor gets cutting-edge safety gear – protection that empowers them to focus, perform, and excel without fear.
- You join a movement to make vision protection a priority – becoming part of a community that values safety, leadership, and purpose.
- You honor Anthony’s mission – preventing avoidable vision loss while empowering communities with style, safety, and recovery-focused innovation.
Impact in Action:
"Because of this program, Officer Smith no longer struggles with glare on night patrols, and Nurse Johnson can focus on patients without eye strain — simple protection that changes daily life, boosts confidence, and transforms how they see themselves at work."
We lead by example — and your sponsorship becomes part of that purpose-driven identity.
At FirstLine, we don’t ask you to do something we wouldn’t do ourselves. Sponsoring a worker isn’t just a transaction — it’s joining a movement, stepping into a community that values protection, empowerment, and the upgrade of self.
- For every worker (1-pack), $40 of their goggles’ cost — and for teams (6-pack), $240 — is personally covered by our co-founders: Anthony, Jennifer, Clinton, Phillip, and Iain.
- We also invest time, logistics, and resources to ensure every sponsored worker is fully equipped, confident, and ready to perform at their best.
- Anthony’s Navy experience shaped this commitment — he knows what it takes to protect vision under extreme conditions, and now your sponsorship allows others to feel that same sense of capability and pride.
When you sponsor a worker, you’re not just giving gear — you’re giving them the confidence, empowerment, and identity of someone prepared, respected, and purpose-driven.
Our 2025-2026 Sponsorship Goal: 100,000 Lives Protected One Pair at a Time
Meet the Visionary Behind Firstline
Anthony B. Miles entered the U.S. Navy’s Trident Nuclear Submarine Force with perfect 20/20 vision. Two years aboard the USS Alaska (SSBN-732), Blue Crew, changed that. Stationed in the missile control center, he spent long hours deep below the ocean’s surface under harsh artificial lighting, staring at glowing control panels. The absence of natural light, relentless screen exposure, and high-stress environment triggered severe migraines and slowly eroded his sight. By the time he surfaced back to civilian life in 1991, he carried not only the title of service-disabled veteran, but also a new reliance on prescription glasses.
What felt like a personal loss soon became a powerful realization: if a submarine sailor could lose his vision beneath the ocean, how many other frontline workers were facing invisible threats to their eyes every day? That question became his mission.
Determined to transform his experience into protection for others, Anthony founded Firstline by Bon Vivant Safety Eyewear — a vision health tech brand that merges military-grade precision, medical insight, and modern design, with the goal of ensuring that no frontline worker ever suffers preventable vision loss.

Your Questions, Answered.
What does it mean to Sponsor A Worker?
Answer: Sponsoring a worker is more than giving someone a safety goggle — it’s giving them confidence, protection, and the ability to show up as their best self. When you sponsor a worker, you’re helping create a workforce that feels safe, valued, and empowered.
Who benefits from my sponsorship?
Answer: Your sponsorship benefits real people — the city’s frontline workers, first responders, and essential personnel. You’re giving them more than eye protection; you’re giving them the feeling of being seen, respected, and supported.
How is my sponsorship used?
Answer: Every sponsorship helps provide high-quality safety gear, but its real power is the identity it creates: workers who feel capable, prepared, and part of a community that cares. You’re not just funding equipment — you’re investing in confidence and pride.
Can I sponsor multiple workers?
Answer: Yes. Whether it’s one worker, a whole team, or a department, your support gives people the upgrade of themselves. More sponsorships mean more workers can feel confident, protected, and recognized for the vital work they do.
Will I or my company be recognized?
Answer: Absolutely. Sponsoring a worker connects you or your companies brand with purpose and community impact. Your or your organization becomes part of a story people want to be associated with — a brand that uplifts others and embodies leadership, care, and social responsibility.
How do I get started?
Answer: Getting started is simple, but the impact is profound. Follow these three steps to sponsor a worker: Step 1: Choose who you protect — select the worker, team, or department you want to support. Step 2: Select your sponsorship level — determine the impact you want to make. Step 3: Review your sponsorship breakdown, add it to your cart, and complete the secure checkout. With each step, you’re not just providing safety gear — you’re shifting identities, giving workers confidence, pride, and protection, while positioning your brand as purposeful, people-first, and part of a community that cares.
