Your glasses are essential to the way you see the world and the way you see yourself; that’s why we bring eyewear from around the world to New Haven, offering a wide selection of independent and brand name options.

Kennedy & Perkins has the ability to put any lens product on the market in any frames you select from our retail store. At our on-site optical lab, we carefully craft lenses to your unique specifications. Our expert staff is trained to assist in the selection of frames that accentuate your face and lenses that crystalize your vision, and with their help, you can feel confident that you have chosen eyeglasses that fit your lifestyle without compromising your vision needs.
Thorough Eye Exams
When it comes to your eyewear, at Kennedy & Perkins, you’ll never have to compromise. That’s why we also provide comprehensive eye exams. Independent optometrist, Dr. Julian Vermund, is on site at our New Haven location to accurately evaluate your overall eye health and current prescription.
