Currently you can only buy HEYWEAR eyewear at our NYC optical studio. While we don't require an eye exam to buy a pair of HEYWEAR, a walk-in visit is a really quick and simple way to get in and out with a comprehensive screening of your eyes and same-day eyewear. 

Every pair is made-to-order and our opticians will ensure your frames are expertly crafted and fit perfectly. An eye exam always costs $50 and we never require insurance. 

All of our materials are sourced globally and assembled locally. We work directly with top distributors and vendors to minimize middle men cost and ensure the highest quality eyewear components. 

We control our quality assurance which allows us to be extremely particular about every piece of material and hardware that we use in our collections. 

Our supply chain is designed to save cost on materials without ever compromising quality.

A comprehensive eye exam at HEYWEAR is always $50. The cost of our exams are designed to be accessible so that eye health can be a priority without the often prohibitive cost of vision insurance. 

A HEYWEAR prescription is valid for 2 years and can be used anywhere in the US. Post exam you'll receive a visit summary and digital copy of your prescription. 

If your prescription is signed, valid, and non-expired we can add it to any of our frames and your eyewear will be ready in minutes. We can also make you prescription sunglasses with any of our frames for an additional $25.

Our optical studio is fully integrated meaning that we make our own frames and use technology/machinery that's tied directly to our collection of designs. For this reason, we can't fit external frames with our lenses, but each of our frame styles range from $50-$125 and come standard with premium lenses that are cut on site. It takes about thirty minutes to get a new pair. You can use a signed/valid prescription in our frames or get an updated Rx from our on-site optometrist - Our eye exams cost $50.

It's important that we have your exact measurements to fit your eyewear. These measurements are based on a combination of facial features, frame, and type of prescription.

In the future this may change, but for the time being our eyewear has to be made-to-order and picked up on site to ensure standard and fit. 

We currently do not offer progressive or bi focal lenses.

HEYWEAR makes single vision lenses that come standard with premium coatings. All of our lenses are stocked, cut, and used in our made-to-order eyewear which is ready in thirty minutes.

Bi focal and progressive lenses are made using a different, time intensive process that we do not currently do on site.

We do offer $50 walk in eye exams that measure your full range prescription and can be used anywhere in the US for two years. 

As a note, you must be 18+ to have eyewear made at HEYWEAR Studio and be over 13 to have an exam with our Optometry Team. 

Children's eyewear requires shatter proof lenses that we do not stock on site.
