"Are your lenses also made of coffee?"
We get this a lot. The answer is no.
The frames are our craft. The lenses are world-class optics.
Every Ochis lens comes from ZEISS or Essilor — certified, tested, built for daily wear.
Four options. One simple flow.
Pick a frame → click Add Lenses → choose your type → add prescription if needed.
Any option below can be made with or without prescription, with or without astigmatism.
Sunglasses
All sunglasses lenses are UV-protective.
Polarised lenses are available in two tones: Quiet (Grey) and Warm (Brown).
Polarisation helps reduce glare from water, snow, and road surfaces — for a clearer, calmer view.

FAQ
Are your lenses made from coffee?
Only the frames. The lenses are ZEISS and Essilor optics.
Standard photochromic vs PhotoFusion X — what's worth it?
Speed. Standard takes up to a minute to darken, up to 15 minutes to clear. PhotoFusion X reacts in under 25 seconds and clears in 1–2 minutes. If you move between light environments often, upgrade.
What's PD and why do you need it?
Pupillary distance — the gap between your pupils. We use it to centre the lens correctly. Without it, even a perfect prescription causes strain. Any optometrist will include it on request.
Can I install your lenses at my local optician?
You can, but we recommend letting us do it. The frames are made from our own bio-composite and need controlled heating during installation. Instructions are included with every parcel.
Slight violet, green or turquoise tint on the lenses — is that normal?
Yes. It's a sign of premium multi-layered coatings — AR (violet), high-index (green), PhotoFusion X (turquoise). Not a defect.
My prescription changes in a year — can I just replace the lenses?
Yes. Send the frames back, we install new lenses. You pay for lenses + return shipping. The frame stays yours.
