Founded in 2009, Gaudete was built on a passion for beauty, creativity, and self-expression. The name comes from the Latin word gaudete, meaning joy and celebration—values that continue to inspire everything we do today.
What began as a company focused on contact lenses has grown into an international business serving customers across multiple markets. Over the years, we have developed extensive expertise in contact lenses, lens care products, and specialty cosmetic lenses, helping customers express their individuality through color, creativity, and style.
As customer demand evolved, so did our product portfolio. In addition to classic contact lenses, we expanded into colored contact lenses, Halloween lenses, cosplay contacts, and dramatic sclera lenses that allow customers to create truly unforgettable looks.
Today, our stores serve customers ranging from first-time lens wearers to professional makeup artists, cosplayers, photographers, and costume enthusiasts looking for high-quality products they can trust.
With more than 16 years of experience, we remain committed to carefully selected products, reliable customer service, and the highest standards of quality and safety.
Since 2009, Gaudete has been the owner of the Horien trademark for contact lenses, lens care solutions, eye drops, and accessories. This long-term commitment to the contact lens industry reflects our dedication to quality products and customer satisfaction.
Since 2023, Gaudete has been the owner of the Lucifer trademark for contact lenses, reflecting our ongoing focus on innovation and specialty lens design, particularly in the field of colored and special effects contact lenses.
Today, our products are trusted by customers across the United States and many international markets. We remain dedicated to helping customers discover new ways to express themselves through high-quality contact lenses and innovative eye designs.
Whether you're looking for natural colored contacts, cosplay lenses, Halloween styles, or dramatic sclera lenses, our mission remains the same as it was in 2009: to deliver quality products, expert knowledge, and an outstanding customer experience.
