Why is bespoke better ?
A bespoke pair of glasses is a pair which will remain totally unique, forever. All our glasses are made with the finest materials ( acetate plastic, titanium, or horn ) and are the height of customization. A bespoke frame can be customized by shape, size, material, color and engraving.
Is a bespoke eyeglass frame more durable ?
Yes, it is ! Our frames are assembled by hand, including the metal pins and hinges. They are then hand polished or matted according to the design specifications.
Can I have my prescription lenses made as well ?
Yes, you can. We are NYS ABO/NCLE Licensed opticians and can make your eyeglasses and sunglasses with your prescription. We offer the finest lenses in the industry; Zeiss, Shamir, Essilor, Transitions are a few of the brands that we may use for your eyewear.
Can you make my prescription glasses properly online ?
The honest answer is no. We would have to meet each client to accurately take the optical measurements and a copy of a current eyeglass prescription, as is REQUIRED by NYS law. However, we can arrange an appointment with you at your home, office, coffee shop or restaurant in the Tri-State area. Online orders can be placed for frame only purchases or frames with non-prescription sun lenses. All non-prescription eyeglass and sunglass frames are taxable, prescription eyeglasses and sunglasses are tax exempt.
We service the Tri-State area within a 50 mile radius.
Is Matia Eyewear Covid safe ?
We use the most current health and disinfecting guidelines as per the CDC.
