Hello from the Vintage Optical Shop!

Our infatuation with vintage eyewear has led us to gather and collect genuine vintage glasses from the 1850s through the 1980s. Whether you’re trying to channel the timeless beauty of Marilyn Monroe’s cat eye glasses, or Johnny Depp’s vintage horn rimmed specs. We stock authentic vintage eyeglasses that were lovingly handcrafted, not produced – giving each pair that character, history and quality you will adore. Collectors can also explore our vintage safety glasses and goggles from historic industrial and occupational settings.

Fallen for a frame? We can fit prescription lenses into any of the antique frames on our site, so your piece of history becomes glasses you can wear every day. Choose single vision lenses for distance or reading, classic lined bifocals, or seamless no-line progressives, then add the extras that suit your life, such as Transitions® lenses that darken in the sun, blue light filtering for screen time, and more. Just pick your frame, enter your prescription, and we'll handle the rest.
