UNIQUE STYLE.

Luxury Glasses Boutique
In the Heart of Piedmont, Oakland
Aperture is not a typical optical store.
We offer a slower, more personal experience — one designed around you. Our collection is intentionally curated, featuring independent designers like Akoni, Blake Kuwahara, and our own Aperture line. No crowded walls. No rushed decisions. Only frames worth trying.
We now welcome clients by private appointment inside Iris Optometric Center on Piedmont Avenue, where every consultation is one-on-one and tailored to your style, fit, and vision needs.
Eyewear, thoughtfully chosen.
CLIENT CARE
Our Approach to Vision Insurance
At Aperture Optix, to ensure we provide the highest standard of care and the most exclusive selection of eyewear, we have chosen to operate as an out-of-network provider.
Why We Choose This Path
Unrivaled Selection
Most vision plans limit you to a "formulary" of mass-produced frames. By remaining independent, we can curate a collection of rare, handcrafted, and luxury designer brands that insurance-affiliated stores simply cannot offer.
Precision Quality
Insurers often mandate the use of high-volume, low-cost labs for lens production. We partner exclusively with world-class labs to ensure your lenses are crafted with the latest optical technology and stringent quality control.
Personalized Attention
Our focus is on you, not meeting insurance-mandated patient volumes. This allows our stylists and opticians to spend more time tailoring your experience to your specific lifestyle and aesthetic.
How to Use Your Benefits with Us
You can still enjoy the value of your while shopping our collection:
Out-of-Network Reimbursement
Most PPO plans (like VSP or EyeMed) offer "Open Access" benefits. We will provide you with a fully itemized receipt that you can submit for a direct reimbursement check.
HSA & FSA Friendly
Prescription eyewear is a qualified medical expense. You can use your Health Savings Account or Flexible Spending Account card directly in store to use your pre-tax dollars.

OUR MISSION
Choosing eyewear should be slow-paced and fun.
At Aperture, we take hospitality as seriously as eyewear selection. We will sit over tea or coffee and chat about what you like in glasses before we hand-pick frames for your personality, appearance, and prescription. We will introduce you to a selection of unique frames, made of beautiful and durable materials, like Japanese titanium, from independent collections. We will match the quality of your new frame with the latest, most advanced lenses.
Your new glasses will fit perfectly and look like they are custom-made for your face.
