Designing the Perfect Frames: Where It All Begins

Before the manufacturing process can commence, our talented designers gather the finest materials necessary to create remarkable eyeglasses. From lenses and frames to screws and other components, every detail matters. Our designers meticulously craft the model design, taking into consideration frame shape, thickness, and color. Once the sample is ready, it undergoes a rigorous approval process, ensuring that we deliver nothing short of excellence.

Crafting Custom Prescription Lenses: Precision and Clarity

At 20/20 Eyeglass Superstore, we understand the importance of accurate prescription lenses for optimal vision correction. Our manufacturing process begins with precise measurements of your eyes, using specialized machinery and equipment. These measurements enable us to create custom lenses tailored to your specific needs. With exceptional craftsmanship, plastic or glass lenses are expertly cut, shaped, and polished before being seamlessly integrated into the frame. By using high-quality materials, we guarantee not only comfort but also long-lasting durability.

Unveiling the Power of Lens Coatings and Filters

Your visual experience extends beyond mere correction. We offer an array of lens coatings and filters to enhance your eyewear’s performance and provide maximum protection. Whether you seek scratch-resistant coatings, anti-reflective properties, or UV filters, our extensive range of options ensures that your eyeglasses meet your unique requirements. Our knowledgeable staff will guide you through the selection process, helping you find the perfect combination of coatings and filters to enhance your visual clarity and safeguard your eyes.

Frames That Reflect Your Style and Personality

At 20/20 Eyeglass Superstore, we understand that eyeglasses are not just a vision correction tool; they are a fashion statement. Our frames are carefully crafted using premium materials such as plastic and horn. Plastic frames offer lightweight durability and come in a variety of vibrant colors and styles. For those seeking a natural look, our horn frames provide a touch of elegance, although they may be slightly heavier and more exclusive. We utilize injection molding and handcrafting techniques, ensuring each frame is precisely cut, fitted, and measured to deliver a comfortable and personalized fit.

Bringing It All Together: Assembling Your Perfect Eyeglasses

Once the frames and lenses have been individually crafted, our skilled technicians meticulously assemble them to create a harmonious fusion of style and functionality. The frames undergo a heating process to enhance pliability, allowing the lenses to be inserted with utmost precision, perfectly aligned to your prescription. Our expert team ensures that the frames are adjusted for a snug fit against your face, providing both comfort and extended wearability. With our attention to detail, your eyeglasses will be a seamless extension of your personal style.
