We offer a comprehensive eye screening that takes about 10 minutes.

First our Studio team will take Measurements of PD/ OC. Our exams use a series of machines to measure your full range Rx and include refraction, pressure check, and back of the eye imaging which is used to check for early signs of disease. We do not perform dilation or exams that can be used for contact lenses. 

Start with a comprehensive eye screening at HEYWEAR,  included with every eyewear purchase. 

There's no insurance required. You can walk in anytime or book in advance here.

If you'd like an exam without eyewear, the cost is $50.

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. 

Yes. We now sell online. Pick a frame and choose from sun, clear reader or computer lenses. Every pair is made-to-order. We'll craft your eyewear  at our Optical Studio in NYC and send it straight to you. In order to have your eyewear made with your prescription, you must have visited HEYWEAR Studio and have your measurements and Rx on file or have a valid (signed/dated/issues within the last 2 years) Rx that you upload during the checkout process.

Local to NYC? Visit HEYWEAR Studio at 363 Lafayette. 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. A comprehensive exam and updated prescription is complimentary with any eyewear purchase (starting at $50). Walk in anytime or book online here. 

You can also bring your own Rx and we can make your eyewear in just a few minutes. 

Every pair is made-to-order and our opticians will ensure your frames are expertly crafted and fit perfectly. An eye exam without an eyewear purchase always costs $50 and never requires insurance. 

FSA/HSA is accepted.

Traditionally there's a lot of cost and wasted time associated with getting prescription eyewear - whether it's because of visits to multiple eye doctors or  waiting for your lenses to be produced. 

HEYWEAR is a vertically integrated model, meaning that our optical lab, showroom, and technology are all offered under one company and roof. This makes for a much faster and seamless experience that eliminates having to wait for resolve or a next step. By owning the process from technology to production, we're able to cut lenses and assemble eyewear on-site so that our guests can leave with eyewear in minutes.

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.

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.

We'll accept any returns within 30 days with no questions asked. 

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. Once you've visited HEYWEAR and created a profile with us, you can shop online and have made-to-order eyewear shipped right to you.

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. 

HEYWEAR currently only gives exams that are valid for single vision prescription eyewear which generates an Rx that cannot be used for contact lenses. Contact lenses require a separate exam and fitting that we don't offer on site.
