This jewel of an optical shoppe is a much loved addition to Richmond's network of eclectic, small and unique businesses. For the eyewear enthusiast it is an eye candy shoppe! In our shoppe you will find sunglasses and eyeglass frames from around the world. We carry fabulous lines such as Anne et Valentine, Face A Face, Vinylize, Sabine Be, Vuarnet, Salt, Kawasaki, custom made I Greens, Matsuda, and more. We give you the personal attention that you need to assure a proper fitting eyeglass frame, and one that makes you feel and look great. The styles we carry range from the demure, sophisticated and classic to artsy, fun, and playful. The atmosphere of our shoppe is an authentic, one of a kind experience and it is true to the Carytown name. People come to Carytown Optical instead ordering glasses online to experience just what we and our neighboring businesses have to offer. At Carytown Optical, we can also service your eyewear with an adjustment or an eyeglass repair. We are able to put prescription lenses into your frame, accept your eye doctor's prescription or just give you advice that you may be seeking. At Carytown Optical, our customer's delight and satisfaction is our mission. We also have eye exams available. We can schedule and arrange your visit with Dr. Benjamin Gates, who specializes in contact lens fittings, astigmatism fittings and bifocal contact lens fittings. The optical shoppe has access to the majority of the lens manufacturers and coatings that are made. We specialize in the best freeform progressive multifocal lenses and the top rated antiglare coating, Crizal Avance. We also specialize in mirror coatings for your sunglasses. Drop in to meet us and see what you've been missing in eyewear. It's time to Raise Your Glasses!
