Selecting the proper frames for your face, prescription and lifestyle can be overwhelming in a traditional optical shop. Our licensed opticians and seasoned frame stylists will help you select the best frame for your needs with the look that you want.
​
Don't be fooled by our clean and minimalistic look; we have hundreds of frames for you to chose from. We take a personalized approach and work with you through the entire process.

We don't have a doctor on staff so you simply bring us your prescription and we'll do the rest. You can also email or fax us your prescription and we'll save a copy for when you're ready. Click here to email your RX.
