Boyer: French Lens Pioneer Since 1895

Boyer was founded in 1895 by Antoine Boyer in Paris, France. In 1925, the company was acquired by André Levy (1890–1965). His wife, Suzanne Levy-Bloch (1894–1974), an optician and mathematician, served as the chief designer of Boyer lenses from 1925 to 1965. In the 1970s, the company announced its bankruptcy but was later acquired by M. Kritsis, who continued production. Ultimately, Boyer ceased operations in 1982.
