Lens advice
We match the lens to your prescription and how you use your eyes: driving, screens, reading, outdoors. We only suggest upgrades that solve a problem you actually have.
Choose your frame
Designer and Ottico house-brand frames, fitted and measured so the lenses sit where your eyes look. Browse frames
Collect and adjust
Most single vision glasses are ready within 3 hours. Progressive, high-index and some coated lenses are made to order and usually take 24 to 72 hours. We confirm your collection time before you pay, then adjust the fit when you collect. Same-day glasses
Choosing the right lenses
There’s no single best lens. Start with the lens design your prescription needs, then add only the extras that help your routine. Each option below has its own guide.

Lens materials and treatments
For a plain-language overview, read prescription lenses explained or our guide to which lens upgrades are worth it.
Accurate glasses start with an accurate prescription
Lens upgrades can’t fix a wrong prescription. Our eye test uses an automated refraction reading, refined by the optometrist with you choosing which lenses look clearer. It checks your vision and measures your prescription, including astigmatism.
It doesn’t include eye pressure measurement or a retina examination. If you’re over 40 with a family history of glaucoma, have diabetes, or anything in your test suggests an eye health problem, we refer you for a comprehensive exam.
Children can have their eyes tested too. An eye test before starting school is a good idea, and sooner if your child squints, sits very close to screens or complains of headaches. See children’s eye care.

Do I need an eye test first?
Only if you don’t have a recent prescription. Our eye test is KSh 300, free with glasses, and no referral is needed. If your vision has changed since your last test, a new one is worth it.
Can I order glasses on WhatsApp?
Yes. Send your prescription and the frame style you like to 0757 491750, and we’ll send you a quote. You’ll still need to come in for frame fitting measurements.
Which lens upgrades are worth paying for?
Anti-reflective coating is useful for most wearers, especially if you drive at night. Photochromic suits people often outdoors. High-index helps with strong prescriptions. Blue light filtering hasn’t been shown to reduce screen eye strain. We’ll advise based on your eyes and routine.
What brands do you stock?
Ray-Ban, Vogue, Prada, Oakley, Guess, Emporio Armani, Calvin Klein, Bolon and Morel, plus our Ottico house collection. Lenses come from Essilor, Zeiss and Kodak.
