Dominic and I are both fond of fitting glasses for youngsters. It is an especially unique responsibility and joy they embrace, as rambunctious youth often have a particular idea that they are invincible. I know it firsthand, remembering my time as a heedless bundle of energy and carelessness that always went at play full speed in daredevil fashion—climbing trees, riding bikes, and collecting hundreds of little injuries along the way. Lucky for me, my mother was an ER nurse, resigned, and prepared to fix the damage. 

At CustomEyes, we are constantly striving for innovation in our craft. As a lifelong learner and teacher, shop owner Gregor Owen's participation in continuing education propels industrious technique and savvy know-how.

At CustomEyes, we believe that eyewear is both a functional accessory and an expression of creative personal style. That’s why we were thrilled to collaborate with Janet B. Sessoms , a Wilmington-based artist whose breathtaking landscapes and seascapes have recently found a new canvas: a pair of FEB31st eyewear .

Eyewear is more than a functional accessory, it's a work of art. Proudly introducing Matsuda Eyewear to the CustommEyes collection.

CustomEyes is honoring the legacy of a beloved Marine Corps veteran and uncle, Samuel Jackson Grice, by hosting a Toys for Tots drive to benefit children in the Wilmington area.

It all started with a dream of moving closer to the ocean and opening an eyewear shop with talented optician, Dominic McCoy. Owner Gregor Owen celebrates 5 years of CustomEyes by recounting the journey.

Gregor Owen is business owner, optician, and sailor. Here are the frames that protected his eye while doing the shady business of a foredeck racer.

It's no surprise that more and more people shop for their frames online. But is it worth it to shop for your frames online and risk the woes?

The glasses we choose reflect who we are and how we live. CustomEyes can help you find eyewear that fit your unique lifestyle!
