Designed to feel like you’re a million miles from a medical office.

How are we different?

A Patient-Centred Approach to Eye Care

Ask questions. Get answers. Gain clarity.

Supporting our local Hamilton and Stoney Creek community

Shopping local matters. It’s why we partnered with local, family-owned labs to manufacture your lenses. You’ll see the work of local artists on our walls, our lens cloths and custom leather trays. Why? Because when you support the people in your community, your investment stays in the community.

Curating Value Around the World

We’ve traveled abroad to bring unmatched value for unique eyewear, to the Hamilton and Stoney Creek area. Both style and craftsmanship were carefully curated––at every price point––to deliver more unique options.

Every frame tells a story, and that story begins with you.

Showcasing Amazing Brands

We carry brands that tell a story. Yes, they’re unique, but they do more than look good. We love brands that are morally and socially responsible. We support brands that value sustainability and we stand behind businesses that have a passion for giving back.
