Book Appointment
1. Exceptional Choice of Different Frames
If you’re looking for something different than what you find in every other optical, then we’ve got some frames for you. You’ll discover a new world of eyewear and choose a pair of glasses from a selection you won’t see elsewhere. We specialize in glasses that create a truly individual look that you’ll love wearing!
We are constantly updating our selection with new finds made here in the USA and from across the world. This is part of what keeps our shelves and drawers bursting with originality. We have strong relationships with independent designers who are known for their creativity, craftsmanship, and refusal to follow the crowd. The result is a collection you will not stumble across in any ordinary optical shop.
Many of our frames are handmade, often in small workshops, by people who take pride in every detail. At Mad River Eye Care, we go even further, bringing you one of the best selections available, and backing it up with the optical know-how to make sure you look and feel incredible in your eyewear.

Looking for new glasses can be so overwhelming. You can try on dozens of frames and still not know what fits and suits you. At Mad River Eye Care, we do things differently.
Our eyeglass consultation gives you a clear, professional way to find the styles that genuinely work for you. During your consultation, we will show you which shapes, colors, and materials complement your unique look and features, so choosing glasses becomes an enjoyable experience.
