Frames, fitted properly

We stock frames from Ray-Ban, Oakley, Vogue, Polo, Stepper, Guess, Jeep, Puma and Poetry, chosen for quality and comfort rather than passing trends. A frame that fits properly sits comfortably on your nose and ears, doesn’t slip when you look down, and suits the shape of your face - we take the time to get this right rather than selling you the first pair you try. We also stock frames sized for children, and offer repairs and adjustments for eyewear you already own.

Lenses to match your prescription and your life

Once your prescription is right, the lens itself makes the difference. We fit single vision lenses for everyday distance or reading correction, and progressive lenses that handle distance, intermediate and near vision without a visible line. For screen-heavy days we recommend computer lenses, and for certain occupations, lenses designed around a specific working distance. Photochromic lenses adjust automatically between indoors and outdoors, and polarised lenses cut glare on the water or the road. High index lenses keep stronger prescriptions slim and light, and coatings such as anti-reflective and scratch-resistant finishes improve how you see through your lenses day to day.

Prescription sunglasses

Hermanus gets plenty of bright, glary days, and prescription sunglasses let you see clearly outdoors without switching between two pairs of glasses. We fit sun lenses to your exact prescription, with polarised and photochromic options available, in the same frame ranges we use for everyday eyewear.

Children’s eyewear

Children’s frames need to survive playgrounds, sport and everyday knocks, so we choose ranges built for durability as well as fit. We check that frames sit correctly on a growing face, and we’re happy to make quick adjustments as your child grows or if a frame gets bent out of shape.
