Glasses transform you.
The right pair changes how you see and how you're seen. The wrong pair just corrects your eyesight.
I built J.HYDE on that.
— Vik, Founder & Optometrist
FRAMING SUCCESS™ — EYE TEST → ZEISS LENS → FRAME → PRECISION MEASUREMENT.
FOUR STEPS, RIGHT FIRST TIME. HOW IT WORKS
THE COLLECTIONS
DR. J
The daylight self. Clear lenses, composed — the one they expect.
HYDE
The other self. Tinted, unmistakable — the one they don't.
SIGNATURE
Neither mask. Hand-painted in Italy, made once — the one you sign.
FRAMES ARE HALF OF IT.
The other half is what goes in them, and who measures you for it.
Private eye tests in Birmingham City Centre and Sutton Coldfield, £40 and complimentary with any lens purchase — conducted personally by Vik, in optics since 2001, with retinal imaging and pressure checks included.
Every lens we fit is Zeiss, with DuraVision Platinum coating and 1.6 index as standard. And if the frame you love is one you already own, we reglaze from £155.
FRAMING SUCCESS™ — FOUR STEPS. RIGHT FIRST TIME.
01 — THE EYE TEST
Thirty minutes minimum with an optometrist. Your prescription is the start of the decision, not the end.
02 — THE ZEISS LENS
Two options matched to your eyes and your day. Zeiss as standard, nothing sold as an upsell.
03 — THE FRAME
A stylist chooses shape, width and colour for your face and your prescription together.
04 — PRECISION MEASUREMENT
Measured on your face with the Zeiss Visufit, shown on screen, fitted when you collect.
CONCEIVED IN BIRMINGHAM. WORN EVERYWHERE.
We make our own eyewear because we refuse to compromise. When you control the design, you control everything — the weight of the acetate, the tension of the hinge, the finish on the temple tip.
J.HYDE frames are designed here, made with premium materials, and worn by people who understand the difference.
