Our six Connecticut locations carry eyewear from independent designers and established fashion houses.
Each store has approximately 1,300–1,500 frames across 20 eyewear lines. Collections vary by location, with prescription lens options available from multiple manufacturers.
Our collections bring together independent eyewear designers and international fashion labels, offering different approaches to frame shapes, materials, construction, and style.
These collections offer different design approaches, from minimalist frames to more expressive shapes and colors, so you can compare a wider range of styles.
Finding the right glasses means balancing fit, comfort, and personal style. Frame shape, size, and proportions affect how your glasses look and feel, while your prescription helps determine which frame-and-lens combinations are right for you.
We can help you compare these details and narrow your choices to frames that fit comfortably, complement your features, and reflect your style.
If you have a particular designer in mind, check which locations carry the collection before visiting.
Each of our six locations carries approximately 20 eyewear lines. Selected brands vary by store, so contact your preferred location to confirm availability.
Your prescription lenses are just as important as your frame choice. Different lens options can accommodate different prescriptions, visual needs, and everyday activities.
We carry prescription lenses from ZEISS, Varilux®, Shamir, HOYA, SEIKO, and PENTAX, along with Transitions® lenses and Crizal® lens coatings.
Your prescription and selected frames help determine which lens options are suitable.
