Three ways to find your frame
Are custom-made eyeglass frames right for you?
Struggling to find a frame that truly fits? Looking for a particular shape, colour or style? Custom eyewear lets us create a frame that suits your face and preferences while taking your prescription requirements into account.
How we make your custom eyeglass frames
We talk about your tastes, your style, and what you’ve liked—or disliked—about glasses you’ve worn before.
We refine the proportions, shapes and details to create a frame that feels like you.
Your frame is precision-milled directly from a sheet of acetate in our workshop.
The frame front, temples and individual components are carefully fitted and assembled.
Through several stages of finishing, the acetate gradually reveals its colours, depth and lustre.
Made for you, fitted to your face and built to last.
Eddy Fillion, optician, has 40 years of experience in optics and has been designing and crafting eyewear frames for 10 years. He works closely with Marie-Chantal Rioux, who guides you in choosing the shapes, colours, and details that will make your frame a truly personal and unique creation. Every frame is designed, shaped, and finished in our workshop — handmade in Quebec from start to finish.
