The short answer
Lens & Frame Co. carries a selection of STATE Optical frames and makes the lenses. Choose eyeglasses such as the Hakone, Kyoto, Sapporo and Union, or sunglasses such as the Clark, Dewitt, Diversey, Franklin and Ridge. We digitally surface the lenses to your prescription in our California lab, single vision or progressive. Every STATE frame we carry takes single vision and progressive lenses.

How we make them
Lenses made to your prescription in California
Digitally surfaced
Computer-guided equipment cuts the curves for your prescription into a single lens blank, accurate to a hundredth of a diopter.
A full stack of coatings
An anti-reflective layer stops bounce-back glare. Oleophobic and hydrophobic layers keep fingerprints and water from sticking. A hard coat goes on last to resist scratches.
Edged for your frame
A multi-axis edger cuts each lens so your correction sits exactly in front of your pupils in the frame you chose. We inspect every lens at every stage. If we find a blemish, we start over with a fresh blank.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Where are STATE Optical frames made?
STATE Optical makes its frames in Chicago. We make the prescription lenses in our California lab.
Can I get progressive lenses in STATE frames?
Yes. Every STATE frame we sell takes progressive lenses.
Can I get Indoor / Outdoor lenses in STATE eyeglasses?
Yes. Our Indoor / Outdoor lens tint option is available on STATE prescription eyeglasses, single vision or progressive.
What prescription do you need?
Any licensed eye doctor’s eyeglass prescription works. Upload a photo or PDF when you order, or send it later from the link we email you. A contact lens prescription measures something different, so we can’t use one. Our team reviews every prescription before we start.
How long does it take?
About two weeks to make your lenses, counted from when we have your prescription and PD. Shipping is free and takes about three days. Faster shipping can’t shorten production.
Can I use FSA or HSA?
Yes. FSA and HSA cards work at checkout for prescription glasses. We’re out of network for vision insurance, so we send you a detailed invoice to submit for reimbursement. Insurance details.
