An EAS (Electronic Article Surveillance) Optical Tag refers to a specific type of security device used in retail environments to prevent shoplifting and unauthorized removal of merchandise from stores. An optical tag, in the context of retail security, refers to a small, reusable tag specifically designed to prevent theft of eyewear, particularly eyeglasses and sunglasses.

The EAS Optical Tag market is essentially a segment of specialized hard tags for "loss prevention in eyewear retail." Because eyewear, especially sunglasses, is small, easy to conceal, and has a high unit value, it is a typical high-theft category in offline sales. Stores often need reusable, quick-attach/remove anti-theft tags without significantly obstructing product display. The market primarily uses two EAS systems: AM 58kHz and RF 8.2MHz. Tags are typically clipped to the temples or secured with lanyards, working with store entrance antennas to trigger alarms, and are quickly removed at the checkout using a dedicated release device. The standard detection frequency for AM tags is described as 58kHz, while the RF system widely uses 8.2MHz as the mainstream frequency.
