Kids
First frames, paediatric follow-up, designs built to resist without constraining. A patient hand at every step.
The OptoCenter experience
An optical house in Strasbourg.
An address conceived as an atelier, gestures inherited from the craft, a focused selection. This is how we accompany every gaze.

Our specialities
Four fields where attention to detail changes the experience of sight itself.
Contact lenses
Fitting, trial, follow-up: daily, monthly, toric or multifocal. A rigorous protocol for lasting comfort.
Driving vision
Anti-glare treatments, premium polarisation, optimised vision zones — for the road, dusk, and rain.
Optometry service
Comprehensive sight examinations, precise measurements, long-term follow-up. An optometry atelier within the boutique itself.
Brands in store
A focused selection, chosen for execution quality, stylistic coherence and rarity.
Millimetre-precise fitting
When the frame becomes invisible.
A successful fitting is measured in fractions of a millimetre. Our team tunes four fundamental points — so the frame stops existing, and only the gaze remains.
01 · Measure
Pupillary distance & morphology
Precise reading of pupillary distance, fitting height and vertex distance. An individual map that guides every adjustment that follows.
02 · Nose pads
Nose line & balance
Silicone, titanium or acetate pads, bent with the right pressure. The frame rests without marking; the bridge of the nose stays free.
03 · Temples
Curve & length
Thermal adjustment of the temples on a wooden form, fine-tuning of the curve behind the ear. The frame holds without pressing, even head-down.
04 · Comfort
Total forgetting
Tested standing, seated, in motion. A few steps inside the boutique to validate — and if needed, we begin again. The promise: no longer feeling the frame.
Aftercare
A second life, every visit.
A premium frame is made to last. Our aftercare commitments are not an add-on — they are the other half of the craft.
01 Ultrasound cleaning
Like the first day
Ultrasound bath, compressed-air drying, nose-pad polishing. Complimentary, walk-in welcome, on every visit.
02 Lifetime adjustment
In step with the face
Faces evolve, frames must too. Reshaping, screw tightening, temple realignment — with no time limit, for as long as you wear the frame.
03 Warranty & longevity
Two years, and beyond
Two-year warranty against manufacturing defects. Beyond that: spare parts, silver soldering, lacquer restoration — the atelier repairs almost anything.
Face shape guide
Six faces, six gestures.
The right frame is not chosen — it is found. Mapping the shape of your face is the starting point of a coherent silhouette.
Oval
Rare balance: nearly every shape works. Favour stylistic signature over correction; this face accepts experimentation.
Round
Angular lines and rectangular forms to structure the volumes. Avoid perfect circles, which amplify the roundness.
Square
Circles, ovals and soft shapes to ease the jawline. Transparent acetate or fine metal lightens pronounced angles.
Heart
Low temples, butterfly or aviator forms to rebalance the chin. Avoid frames that widen at the top.
Rectangular
Tall forms, butterfly or panto to widen visually. The ideal width hugs the temples without overshooting.
Triangle
Cat-eye, butterfly, decorated upper rims — anything that widens the upper face. Thin temples, light frames.
Size guide
Three numbers, one frame.
On the inner temple of every frame, three numbers. Read correctly, they are enough to know whether a frame is made for you.
01
Lens width
44 – 58 mmMeasured from one hinge to the other. Defines the frame's footprint on the face: the larger the value, the further the frame extends toward the temples.
02
Bridge width
14 – 22 mmThe gap between the two lenses. Must match the width of the nose ridge — too narrow, the frame pinches; too wide, it slips.
03
Temple length
135 – 150 mmFrom the hinge to the tip, curve included. A temple too short presses behind the ear; too long, and the frame slides down.
Look for the three-number sequence inside the left temple, separated by a dash (e.g. 52-18-145). It is the technical signature of the frame.
52 — 18 — 145
Lens guide
Choosing the right optics.
The lens, even more than the frame, defines the quality of vision. Three families of use cover the essential daily needs.
Single vision
One correction
For distance or near vision, across the entire lens surface. The most common choice, ideal until presbyopia begins.
Progressive
Seamless transitions
Far, intermediate, near — on a single lens, with no visible division. A few days of adaptation, repaid by lasting comfort.
Screen & office
Optimised for indoors
A wider zone for intermediate and near vision, with built-in blue-light filtering. For long working days at the screen.
Premium treatments
- Anti-reflective — reduces halos when driving at night and improves transparency.
- Blue-light filter — softens screen emissions, eases eye fatigue.
- Photochromic — darkens in the sun, returns clear indoors.
- Polarised — eliminates reflections on water, snow and asphalt.
