Free adjustment, always
Loose temples, a frame sitting crooked, nose pads that have gone hard. Walk in and we will sort it while you wait. No charge, no matter how long ago you bought them, and no matter where from.
Eyewear is one of the few things you wear every single day, for twelve to sixteen hours at a stretch. It should fit your face properly, suit how you live, and feel like it belongs to you rather than something you settled for. Here is what we stock, and who each collection is really built for.
The everyday workhorse, and the pair most people underestimate. Get the fit and the lens right and you stop noticing them, which is the whole point.
Whether you need a first pair, a replacement, or a second pair to leave at the office, our eyeglass range spans classic metal and acetate through to the bold, sculptural shapes from our luxury labels. Rimless and semi-rimless are stocked too, for anyone who wants the lightest possible feel on the face.
Every pair is measured on you rather than estimated, and our team will steer you toward what genuinely suits your face shape and colouring instead of what is trending this month. If a frame you love does not work on you, we will say so, and then find you something close that does.
Glare on the highway is a safety issue before it is a style one. Both matter, and you do not have to choose between them.
Our sunglasses range covers polarised lenses for driving and water glare, gradient tints for general daylight, and the classic aviator, wayfarer and square silhouettes that have outlasted every trend since. Ray-Ban and Carrera anchor the premium end; Gucci, Tom Ford and Burberry sit above them.
Prescription sunglasses are available in most frames we stock, including progressives. If you drive a lot, ask us about polarised versus plain tint before you decide, because the difference on an afternoon highway is considerable.
Contact lenses are a medical device, not an accessory. Fitted properly they are excellent. Fitted casually they cause problems.
We stock daily disposables and monthly soft lenses, including toric lenses for astigmatism and multifocal lenses for presbyopia. Dailies suit occasional wear and anyone who would rather not deal with solutions; monthlies work out cheaper for regular daily use.
Before we sell you lenses we measure your corneal curvature and diameter, since a contact lens prescription is not the same as your spectacle prescription. You then wear a trial pair in store, and we teach insertion, removal and hygiene properly before you take any home.
Children's prescriptions move quickly and their glasses take a beating. Both problems have practical answers.
Our children's collection is built for durability and comfort first: flexible TR90 and memory metal frames that spring back instead of snapping, spring hinges, silicone nose pads that stay put, and adjustable temple tips. Polycarbonate lenses are standard for children, because they are impact resistant.
Just as important, the frames have to be ones your child will actually wear. We let them choose from a shortlist that fits properly, which usually solves the argument at home. We also keep a note of the prescription and follow up when it is time for a recheck.
If your arms have started getting shorter when you read, this is the collection you came for. It happens to everyone, usually somewhere in the forties.
We fit single vision readers for people who only need help up close, and properly measured progressives for anyone who wants one pair that handles distance, middle and near without a visible line. There are also office lenses, which give you a wide, comfortable range from your desk to across the room, and are far better than progressives at a computer all day.
Progressives only work if they are measured correctly on the frame you have chosen, which is why we do fitting heights in store rather than estimating. Ready made readers off a rack have the same power in both eyes and no allowance for your pupillary distance, which is why so many people find them tiring.
Frames that stay on your face when you move, and lens tints chosen for the light you are actually in.
Wraparound and semi-wrap frames with rubberised temple grips and nose pads hold position through running, cycling and gym work. For cricket and other impact sports, polycarbonate lenses are the sensible choice. Prescription sports eyewear is available, either directly glazed or with an insert behind the wrap.
For driving, polarised lenses cut reflected glare off wet roads and other vehicles, which is the single biggest comfort improvement most drivers notice. For evening and monsoon driving, we usually recommend a lighter contrast tint rather than a dark one, and an anti-reflective coating on your regular glasses to reduce headlight halos.
Every pair is adjusted on your face before you leave the shop, and we keep adjusting it for as long as you wear it.
Loose temples, a frame sitting crooked, nose pads that have gone hard. Walk in and we will sort it while you wait. No charge, no matter how long ago you bought them, and no matter where from.
Frames pick up skin oil, dust and hairspray in places a cloth cannot reach. Bring yours in and we will run them through the ultrasonic cleaner and re-tighten everything while we are at it.
We keep your prescription and frame measurements on file, so a replacement or a spare pair does not mean starting over. We also follow up when a recheck is due.
Our frame fit guide walks through face shapes, the numbers printed inside your current temple arm, and which materials suit which faces. The lens guide does the same for indexes and coatings.
That, plus what you have worn before, is usually enough for us to narrow it down to three or four frames before you walk in.
