Vernon's Original Optical Boutique
In 1946, Art Schmidt opened his doors on 31st Street with a simple belief: eyewear should be exceptional, and so should the experience. He filled his boutique with the finest brands, the boldest styles, and a commitment to personal service that Vernon had never seen before.
Nearly 80 years later, that standard hasn’t changed. Three generations of Okanagan residents have trusted us to find their perfect pair, and we take that trust seriously. We remain Vernon’s most distinguished destination for those who refuse to compromise on clarity, craftsmanship, or style.
