By private appointment
The Private Fitting.
Your optician, wherever your schedule takes you. The Private Fitting is our concierge service: Matt — That Glasses Guy himself — comes to you with an edit of frames chosen for you in advance, and fits you personally, start to finish.
Your home, your office, a hotel suite, a venue — wherever and whenever works for you. No store hours, no waiting, no one else’s appointment before yours.
The experience
On your terms, from first call to final fit.
A private consultation
We begin with a call to understand your vision, your prescription, your style and how you live — the occasions, the work, the downtime — and to set a date and place that suit you.
A curated edit
Before we arrive, Matt hand-selects a private edit from our collections, along with fully bespoke, one-of-a-kind options, chosen around your face and your goals.
Fitted where you are
An unhurried fitting in person: frame selection and styling, precise measurements for your lenses, and advice on building an eyewear wardrobe — including task-specific pairs if you need them.
Finished by hand
Your lenses are made to your fitting with the latest lens technology, then hand-finished in our seamless style. We arrange your final adjustment around your schedule.
Ideal for
Individuals who value their time, couples and families fitted together, and private events or gatherings where eyewear becomes part of the occasion.
The investment
$1,000 minimum, applied in full to your eyewear.
Booking reserves your date with a $1,000 non-refundable deposit. It isn’t a fee — every dollar goes toward the frames and lenses you choose at your fitting.
Plus travel, quoted in advance.

Find Your Fit
Frame Sizing Isn't What it Seems:
Let me throw a wrench to everything you might think you know about finding the right "size" glasses. While many people think a couple of simple numbers can determine the needed frame size, more often that not, that's just not the case. The numbers I'm referring to are the A or Eye size (Lens width), and the DBL or Bridge size (distance between the two lenses). While these numbers can be helpful guidelines, not all frames with the same numbers will fit the same way. Just like your clothes don't all fit exactly the same even with the same waist measure, neither do all frames.
Why Don't The Numbers Tell Me the Right Size?
This is a great question, and comes down to the wide array of materials used to make the frames! The distance from the edge of the lens to where the temple (arms, bows, whatever you want to call them) go back to the head and thickness of the temples themselves are just a couple of the factors. Add in different bridge designs with the same width and totally different fits and construction, and things get hairy quickly!
So, How Can I Even Figure Out What To Buy?
Pay close attention to the actual construction of the frame. Opticians know these tricks well and our staff is happy to assist if needed, just send us a picture, and what it is you personally want out of your next eyewear function and style wise. For a guideline for yourself though, look at the material thickness from the outer lens to the edge, this can be just one or two millimeters, on up to several or as much as ten or more millimeters in the cases of some specialty designs for high prescriptions! Next pay attention to the thickness of the material in the bridge, and the way it tapers. These subtle cues can give you a great impression of how the frame will fit on you with just a little visualization!
Does a Frame Always Need to Fit Perfectly?
Contrary to the optical worlds opinion, NO. You don't need perfect central alignment, or frames exactly the width of your head. What you do need, are certain lines to flow well with your face, colors that work for your complexion and wardrobe, and knowing whether you want to have a look that is bold and oversized, or small petite and minimal, or any combination of the two. There is a fine line between oversized and TOO BIG, so do dredge into this area with caution. This is where we come in, if you're not sure, let us help!
What if I Like Really Different?
Welcome to the party, you're one of us. We understand trendsetters and fashion forward styles are not something the everyday eye will find pleasing, and we're not going to talk you out of that gorgeous vintage cat eye shape in blazing pink colors, or whatever your heart desires, as long as it really is a good look for you in color tones and style choice! Frames built for the world of high fashion are some of our favorites, and personally our staff rocks some of the wildest things out there! Whether you like the basics, or something as wild as a rimless with dragon shaped lenses, we're not judging!
