    We work with the forefront of digital freeform lens technology and are proud to be a partner of the recognized industry-leader in optics and optical technology, ZEISS and Shamir.

    Lenses are manufactured to order based upon not only your prescription, but over a dozen other measurements related to the specific frame selection, your eye and facial anatomy, where the frames sit on your face, and how you use your glasses.

    The benefits of customization? Unmatched clarity, the widest possible fields of view, the ability to control thickness (even those with high prescription!) and minimized distortion.

    Our Eyewear Stylists can recommend the right technical selection of lenses for you and your lifestyle.
