Erkers Fine Eyewear

The Erker's difference starts with how we care for your eyes.

Our optometrists don't rush. We perform comprehensive exams that assess complete eye health, using advanced imaging to detect glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy before symptoms appear.

Same-week appointments when you need care now. Thorough exams that catch problems early. Expert opticians who take time to find frames that actually fit your prescription, your face, and your life.

Quality eye care means precision, not speed. It means being treated like a person, not a transaction.

Eyewear inspired by cosmetics, crafted by Japanese artisans.

Bevel was founded in 1999 by Richard Mewha and Rick Nelson with a belief that eyewear should be both wearable and flattering, designed with the same attention to color palettes you'd find in high-end cosmetics.

Working with Japanese artisanal craftsmen from the beginning, Bevel creates frames that balance comfort with style. Every piece reflects a quest for perfection in engineering and innovative design. Limited production means you won't see your frames everywhere else.

We're proud to carry Bevel because they share our values: craftsmanship that matters, attention to detail, and eyewear that helps people feel confident.

Five generations of expertise, one collection.

Erker's 1879 exists because we couldn't help ourselves. After spending 146 years curating the world's finest eyewear, we had to create our own.

We travel internationally for design inspiration, then prototype and refine each frame right here in St. Louis. The most durable materials. Precise construction. Balance between enduring classics and modern design. Every frame is named after a St. Louis landmark or legend, engraved with emblems that honor our shared history with this city.

Charles Lindbergh trusted our goggles for his transatlantic flight. We were the official photographer for the 1904 World's Fair. We built the first optical lab west of the Mississippi. That heritage lives in every detail.

This is what happens when America's oldest family-owned optical company puts 146 years of knowledge into a frame.

Eye exams aren't just about updating your prescription.

They're the first line of defense against glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and other conditions that show symptoms in your eyes before anywhere else in your body.

Our St. Louis optometrists use advanced imaging technology to assess complete eye health, not just vision. We identify problems early, when treatment makes the biggest difference. And we offer same-week appointments for urgent concerns because your eyes shouldn't have to wait months for care.

146 years of experience has taught us that prevention beats intervention every time.

Most vision insurance accepted, including VSP and EyeMed.

Limited production. Over one hundred hands. Built to outlast trends.

Jacques Marie Mage represents a different approach to eyewear. Founded in Los Angeles by French designer Jerome Mage, JMM produces collectible spectacles in strictly limited batches, handcrafted in Japan with materials and methods that prioritize longevity over volume.

Each frame undergoes a twenty-point measurement test before leaving the workshop. Over one hundred artisans touch every pair during production. The result is eyewear that combines historical references with precision engineering, pieces designed to be collected rather than replaced.

Erker's is proud to be an authorized Jacques Marie Mage stockist. Our buyers curate selections from each seasonal release, bringing limited-edition styles to St. Louis before they sell through.

If you collect quality, this is where it starts.

Five generations of family ownership means we've seen everything twice.

We've watched eyewear trends cycle through decades, observed which materials hold up and which don't, learned what actually matters when you're choosing frames that become part of your daily life.

Here's what longevity teaches you: craftsmanship outlasts trends. Proper prescriptions matter more than aesthetics. Independent artisans create superior products because they answer to their own standards, not shareholders.

146 years in St. Louis has taught us that the best eyewear isn't about following what's popular. It's about understanding what works.
