ONSITE OPTICAL LAB
We have our own lab onsite! This means, we take the handling of your prescription into our own hands. Our in-store Opticians are some of the city’s best, with diverse experience and training. We have the industry’s finest technology when it comes to lens cutting/edging, tinting, adjusting and repairs. Optical prescriptions require several steps from ordering, to manufacturing, to the installation in your frame of choice.
We do it all here! Same-day lenses for some single vision, custom tints and sun lenses.

We provide high quality frame repairs, including acetate frame buff & polish. This process requires an immense amount of skill and precision.
There are strict tolerances for dispensing optical lenses, so we double, triple, even quadruple check every little detail to ensure the best possible visual experience, and reduce the adaptation period to new prescriptions. Precision! We love it.
