We support sustainable opticianry in several ways:
1. We encourage patients to re-use their old frames, if they'd like, rather than buy a brand-new one.
2. We sell new old stock vintage frames, which means you're choosing a frame that has already been manufactured and is in circulation. It does not need to be produced again.
3. We sell a line of frames from a local frame company, Eye Q Eyewear, who is right here in Tampa Bay. That means less shipping!
4. We offer Karun Eyewear, which is a small, independent frame company in Patagonia who make their frames out of recycled fishing nets and recycled metals trash-picked from their shorelines.
5. We partner with a locally-owned, small, independent lab here in Tampa Bay to make our lenses. Again, less shipping!
6. We donate used glasses to The Lion's Club. They match the existing prescriptions to people in need of eyewear.
