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. You don’t need to know exactly what you want before visiting us. That is precisely what we will discover together.

Custom eyewear near Ottawa

Our custom-made eyeglass frames are designed and handcrafted in our Vieux-Hull workshop, just minutes from downtown Ottawa.

A custom frame allows us to adjust the shape, size, colour and proportions to suit your face, your prescription and your personal style. Each frame begins with a sheet of acetate and is carefully shaped, assembled and finished in our workshop.

Whether you are looking for something subtle, colourful or completely unique, we can help you create eyewear that feels comfortable and truly reflects who you are.

Clients from Gatineau, Ottawa and the surrounding region are welcome to visit the workshop and discover how their glasses are made.

Made to fit you

Custom eyewear can be especially useful if standard frames are difficult to fit, if you have a strong prescription, or if you are looking for a specific shape or colour. We take the measurements needed to create a frame that is comfortable, balanced and well suited to your face.

Just across the river from Ottawa, our workshop is only 1.5 km from the Chaudière Bridge, at 165 Eddy Street in Vieux-Hull, Gatineau.

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.
