Eyewear

Frames and lenses, fitted to your face

Try shapes and materials with an optician, then choose lenses that suit how you see. Your prescription is yours: we give you a copy after your exam and fitting, and you can fill it anywhere.

  • Independent frames in acetate, metal and titanium

  • Lenses cut to your frame in the shop

  • A fitting at pickup, and adjustments after

Two pairs of wire-rimmed glasses sit on clear holders against a white wall.

Frames

Shapes and materials

  • Acetate

    Warm to the touch and made in many colors, from clear to deep tortoiseshell.

  • Metal and rimless

    Thin wire frames that sit light on the face, with or without a rim.

  • Titanium

    Light and springy for people who wear their glasses from morning to night.

  • Round, square and cat-eye

    We size a shape to your face and your prescription, not to a trend.

Lenses

What goes in the frame

  • Single vision

    One prescription across the whole lens, for distance or for reading.

  • Progressive

    One lens for far, middle and near, with no line across it.

  • Computer and reading

    Lenses set for the distance you hold a screen or a book.

  • Thin and light

    Lens materials that keep a strong prescription from looking heavy.

  • Coatings

    Anti-glare and scratch-resistant coatings, added when you want them.

  • Sunglass lenses

    Tinted and polarized lenses made to your prescription.

Questions about glasses

Can you put new lenses in my old frames?

Often. We look at the frame first and tell you whether it can take new lenses.

Can I use a prescription from another eye doctor?

Yes, if it is current. Bring it in and we fit your glasses to it.

Do you make prescription sunglasses?

Yes. Pick a frame, then tinted or polarized lenses made to your prescription.
