Glasses in Downtown Burlington: Where to Buy Frames on Brant Street
If you are searching for glasses in downtown Burlington, you have a choice between a shopping-plaza chain and a boutique on Brant Street where someone actually measures your face. Style Eyes is the second kind. We are at 468 Brant Street, Unit 1, a short walk from Spencer Smith Park and the downtown waterfront, and every pair of glasses that leaves our shop has been fitted by hand.
Why buy glasses downtown instead of at a chain
Big-box optical is built around volume. A boutique is built around fit. The practical differences show up in three places:
- Selection. Most optical walls in North America are stocked from a handful of large manufacturers. We hand-select frames from independent makers and design houses, so what you find on Brant Street is not what you will find in every plaza between here and Oakville.
- Fitting. Master Optician Farshad Nekoui has more than 25 years of opticianry experience. Bridge fit, temple length, pantoscopic tilt and vertex distance are adjusted to your face, not approximated.
- Time. Appointments are unhurried. You are welcome to try twenty frames and leave with none.
What we carry
Our collection spans everyday prescription eyewear, designer sunglasses, titanium and acetate frames from independent Japanese and European ateliers, and lightweight options for children. Browse the full list on our brands page, or see how we work on our services page.
Prescription lenses done properly
A frame is what people see; the lens is what you look through all day. We fit progressive, single-vision, digital-device and light-reactive lenses from premium manufacturers, with anti-reflective and scratch-resistant coatings matched to how you actually use your glasses — driving, screens, workshop, or all three.
Eye exams on site
You no longer need a separate appointment across town to update your prescription. We now book comprehensive eye exams in-store with our on-site optometrist, including retinal imaging and digital diagnostics, with direct billing to most insurance plans. Details are on our Burlington eye exams page.
