Where eyewear Becomes art...
Just as eyewear can become art on your face, we believe that eyewear is flattering, or becoming, to art itself.  In Hayes Valley, art is found in every aspect of life; most of our patients are artistic, either in profession or by avocation.  We strive to promote that spirit by decorating our walls with creations by local artists. 
 
Please contact us if you know of any artists who'd like to showcase their work!

GYOTAKU,(GYO=FISH,TAKU=IMPRINT BY HAND)BY CHERRY SWEIG
“Developed in the early 1800’s, the Samurai fishermen used Gyotaku as a way to record the exact shape and size of a prize catch before the invention of the camera. Like so many things oriental, Gyotaku evolved into a highly prized art form.”
