Our custom lens tinting service transforms eyewear into a true expression of self, offering subtle tonal washes or bolder hues finished with the same care you would expect from a bespoke accessory. Tints can be applied to plano sunglass lenses or to prescription lenses, and we will walk you through the visual and aesthetic implications of each choice before any work begins.
Same-Day Glasses
Prescription lenses cut, glazed and fitted in our on-site lab, often the same day. One of the few on-site lens labs in the Melbourne CBD.
SAME-DAY LENSES
Same-day lenses, made on-site
Our on-site optical lab is a rare and defining feature within the Melbourne CBD, and it is what allows us to deliver same-day lenses for many prescriptions, crafted while you continue to enjoy the rhythm of the city.
As one of the few on-site lens labs in the Melbourne CBD, we aim to turn a process that traditionally takes a fortnight into something that fits comfortably into an afternoon.
We glaze lenses into frames you bring to us and into frames from our own considered collection of eleven independent and luxury houses.

We adjust and repair frames bought from Six Six and frames bought elsewhere, and a complimentary ultrasonic cleaning service is always available at the counter.
