Frames & sunglasses
"We are constantly looking to understand and make the wearer's experience perfect, if not optimal."
We are the pioneer opticians in Karnataka with roots dating back to the 19th century. Quality products, precision in dispensing and service is our main focus. Every eyepiece in our store is important and so is every customer.
We stock a wide range of products from lenses to frames & sunglasses. Each store holds over 2000 eyeglasses to help you make the right selection and each eyepiece is hand picked and carefully selected by the management. We look at quality, durability, style, fit, after sales services, material and frame construction when selecting each eyepiece. Brand name and location are important parameters too in procurement.
How We Select Every Eyepiece
Quality
Every single frame is assessed for build quality, material integrity and long-term durability before it makes it to our shelves.
Style & Fit
We curate across shapes, colours and sizes to ensure there is a perfect match for every face shape, age and personal taste.
After-Sales Service
We select brands and frames for which we can provide reliable after-sales support: repairs, adjustments and replacements.
Frame Construction
Material, hinge quality, temple construction and rim type are all evaluated before procurement, nothing is chosen at random.
Types of Eyeglasses We Dispense
Rimless
Origins of rimless spectacles date back to the 1880s but gained popularity in the last few decades. Rimless eyeglasses (or the 3-piece frame) have undergone several innovations over the years. Brands like Silhouette and Lindberg have made this style a classic. While fashionable in the 1990s to early 2000s, rimless eyeglasses will remain forever a classic.
These are best suited for careful users as the rimless lenses need to be handled with care. They are also ideal for those who require exceptionally lightweight frames or eyeglasses that don't stand out on the face, blending seamlessly with the wearer's features.
Full Rimmed
There are several styles in full rimmed eyeglasses. A large collection of spectacles and sunglasses fall into this category. These eyeglasses are made of different materials, in various colours and sizes to meet the needs of all types of faces.
Full rimmed glasses or full frames can be the most durable, as the rim encloses the lenses completely. They are less prone to break or damage if handled properly and are more durable than rimless or half rimmed glasses. Moreover, full rimmed glasses are the best suited for individuals who have high powered prescriptions.
Half Rimmed
Half rimmed, semi-rimmed or supra eyeglasses were initially designed to reduce the overall weight of the spectacle or sunglasses when worn. These eyeglasses have a metal or shell top (or a combination of both) and a thin, strong plastic gut inserted into the rim of the lens at the bottom.
While this type of frame construction is a blend of both a rimless and full frame, it is again best suited for lenses that are not too thick and for people who handle their eyeglasses carefully.
