Independent eyewear
Frames come from hard-to-find and emerging brands.
In Chicago's Wicker Park, Ukrainian Village, and West Town area, Lab Rabbit Optics is an optical shop focused on independent eyewear brands. It offers more than 400 handmade frames, including Japanese designs and Lab Rabbit Originals, alongside prescription lenses and sunglasses. The shop works with hard-to-find and emerging labels rather than mainstream optical brands. Lenses are cut in-house, including tinted lenses for indoor and outdoor use, and the collection includes both prescription and nonprescription eyewear. Customers can shop in person by appointment or browse the online shop, which is updated frequently with new frames and eyewear. Gift cards are available in physical and digital formats, while limited-edition hats are also sold through the website.
