All of our Historic EyeWear Company eyeglass frames and cases are accurate reproductions of original 19th century spectacles frames and cases. They are ophthalmic quality, designed for full time wear, will accept all prescription lenses, bifocals and progressive lenses. They are backed by our one year warranty against manufacturers defects and spare parts are available.
We can supply basic reading lenses, nonprescription tinted and sunglass lenses. For prescriptions requiring correction of astigmatism, distance lenses, bifocals or progressive lenses you can purchase the frames from us and have you lenses fitted to our frames locally where they can take required measurements for centration and segment height. This is a hands-on process that cannot be completed over the internet. Our frames are easy to fit lenses to and can be taken to your local Optician, Optometrist, Big Box store etc. to be fitted with your prescription.
Designed for the Living History, Historical Reenactment, Film, Stage & Screen community for an authentic representation of the past, and individuals with their own personal sense of style.
