ST. SHINE Optical Company Limited is an experienced contact lens manufacturer offering a wide variety of products for domestic and international markets with innovative technology and design. From conventional lathe-cut to cast-molding, from RGP to soft contact lens, from daily to frequent replacement disposable products.

The company was founded in 1981 as First Optical Co., Ltd. by consortium of experts who have years of experience and knowledge in the contact lens industry, which includes contact lens fitting, optical designing, manufacturing, and marketing. The company was renamed as ST. SHINE Optical Company Limited in 1986.

Over the following decade, ST. SHINE became the largest supplier of contact lenses in Taiwan based on high performance products for myopic and hyperopic patients together with patented lenses for the effective correction of astigmatism.

During the 1990s, ST. SHINE expanded its operations into Western European and Asian markets. This was made possible by introduction of CNC lathing machinery and completion of the construction of advanced molding lines in its Taipei facility. High caliber operating standards were demonstrated in 1996 when ST. SHINE became the first Asian manufacturer of contact lenses to receive international ISO 9001, EN 46001 and CE Certification by Notified Body. In December 2002, ST. SHINE received the ISO 13485 Certificate.
