THE UK’S STYLE AUTHORITY ON EYEWEAR.

Precision-fitted in Birmingham · 5.0 from 150+ Google reviews · Shortlisted, Luxury Frame of the Year

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.

EYECARE AT J.HYDE

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.

FOR WHEN THE MOOD SHIFTS.

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.

DR. J. HYDE. SIGNATURE.

CONCEIVED IN BIRMINGHAM. WORN EVERYWHERE.

Dr. J, HYDE and Signature are J.HYDE's own frames, conceived in Birmingham and made to our specification: Italian Mazzucchelli acetate, surgical-grade stainless steel and titanium. When you control the design, you control the details — the weight of the acetate, the tension of the hinge, the finish on the temple tip.

From the eye test to picking up my glasses, the whole process was smooth and enjoyable. The staff were warm and welcoming, and helped me find frames that matched my style perfectly. There’s a great variety of stylish frames to choose from. I’ll definitely be back for another pair. Couldn’t recommend enough!

This is my second year buying glasses from J Hyde and I’ve been a customer at both stores. Both Vic and Anderson were amazing at helping me find the right glasses for my needs.They have a wide selection at various price points and style options. I’ve had dozens of compliments on the pair they helped me pick.I’d highly recommend visiting if you need a new pair of glasses.
