Eyewear for Your Lifestyle

Eco-Conscious Eyewear for Sustainable Lifestyles

If sustainability is important to your lifestyle, we recommend the distinctive Feb31st brand. You can expect wooden frames crafted with care and sourced from responsibly managed forests. This line blends the aesthetics of natural wood and careful design with the functionality of a flexible, lightweight feel.

You may also be interested in frames from iGreen, crafted with cotton-based acetate and stainless steel that are both sustainable and comfortably lightweight. iGreen has also received "a sustainability award for consecutive wins in eco-friendly practices," and produces on-demand to reduce over-production.

Durable Eyewear for Active & Athletic Lifestyles

Artful Eyewear for Creatives

It's hard to pick just one or two eyewear brands that embody artistry. We value the craft of eyewear design here at CustomEyes and carry frames that truly shine. If we had to recommend a few lines for those seeking bold, artful, and creative designs, Francis Klein is certainly one that comes to mind!

Francis Klein is a family-run business founded by optician Francis Klein and his wife Michèle. More than almost any other designer line, what you will find is glamor, color, and originality. Each piece is unique and handmade, the artists specialize in crafting frames with skillful hand engraving, laser design sculpting, and 3D placement of rhinestone and haute couture jewelry pieces—truly a one-of-a-kind brand.



We must also mention Alain Mikli frames, which are iconic for their unique shapes, exclusive coloring, and artful design that make each piece feel halfway between art and product. These frames are handmade in Italy with quality materials. Not for the faint of heart, Alain Mikli's frames push the boundaries of fashion and innovation and arouse the bold within us all. These frames are like no other fashion eyewear collection, exclusively available in New Hanover at CustomEyes of Wilmington. 

Blue-Light Filtering Lenses for Screen Users

If you're frequently looking at screens, you might have experienced ocular pain or fatigue caused by blue light. Blue light is high-energy waves found even in sunlight, especially in artificial light. In small doses, it can boost attention, but too much exposure can negatively impact your sleeping patterns and lead to digital eye strain (DES), a cause of discomfort for millions of Americans. Luckily we can help! Our opticians partner with Blutech Lenses to fit any frame of your choice with blue light filtering lenses. A prescription is not required and we can prepare your prescription lenses to filter blue light.
