Make a statement without saying a word...

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.

We are "out of network" for most insurance companies so we can help you with any paperwork that you need to submit. The decision not to work with insurance was an intentional one. This allows us to provide you the latest technology in lenses and the highest quality frames on the market.

"it's not how you feel, it's how you look and you look marvelous"

It IS about how you look, but it's also about how you see...

All of the frames that we carry are produced and designed by independent eyewear companies. What this means is that the designers who design our products don't design handbags, cars, jeans, shoes, hats or anything else- they know optical and they know fashion and using the highest quality materials available, they create stunning pieces of fashion that are also function. Click here to see which collections we feature.

Your glasses are a medical device and while that should be remembered when purchasing them, they don't need to look like one.

Lens technology is constantly evolving and it's our job to stay on top of this. We work with the best labs in the country to ensure that you're in the best possible lens for you.

Depending on your lifestyle, you may consider more than one pair of glasses. We offer specialized lenses such as:

Computer lenses
Golf lenses
Childrens glasses and sunglasses
Prescription Ski or SCUBA goggles
Kids prescripton sports goggles
Cycling glasses
and more

GARRETT

Garrett brings a love for the fashion of frames influenced by his years spent in Europe, combined with a fresh perspective and knowledge of the cutting-edge advances in lens technology. He takes the time to work with you to find the perfect frames and the best lenses for your individual needs.

CHRISTIE

Christie used to be a full-time optician responsible for overseeing the inventory for a multi-location boutique but she left that to pursue her passion, art. Now she works at Opt a few days a week but focuses the rest of her time creating clever and unique designs for her company Whimsically Frazzled.

She's also the artist behind our signature Philippe painting! Click here to see it.

PHILIPPE

Philippe Sherman Leach IV comes from a long line of Chief Puppies In Charge and as you can see from his photo, he's all about the bottom line. When he's not at Opt he's sharpening his puppy skills at Pooch Pawsitive, laying on the couch or running in the field by his house with his gang of dog friends.

Feel free to bring your four legged friend in to say hi!
