Doctor Glasses Chain
Doctor Glasses Chain was established in 1993 by Liu Xia as a China-based eyewear retailer. Liu Xia remains Chairman. His son Alexander Chen holds the role of General Manager and Director and was named to Forbes 30 Under 30 China. The company deploys capital into smart eyewear through three named partnerships. It distributes and co-develops AR smart glasses with Rokid. It collaborates with Li Weike Technology on AI smart glasses products. It works with Xingji Meizu on smart eyewear ecosystem development. These arrangements cover both hardware distribution and software integration across China. The firm operates its headquarters from the Kingkey 100 Building in Shenzhen and maintains a retail footprint that includes stores in Shenzhen, Beijing and Guangzhou. It also controls the President Optical and Zèle brands in China. No recent operational events from the last 24 months appear in available records. Ownership remains with the founding family through the corporate structure. The CSR Program sits inside the same entity and handles community initiatives without a separate foundation vehicle.
