Eyes on Fremont loves to support the smaller family-owned establishments, being that we are an independent “mom & pop” business ourselves.
One of the latest collections we’ve invested in is a notable family establishment that has held a prominent spot in the optical industry for nearly a century while maintaining its independent business status (which we happen to really like supporting).
MOSCOT EYEWEAR is a stylish, trusted glasses collection out of New York and has maintained its presence in the Big Apple since the 1920’s. Known for its vintage-inspired classic designs and iconic styles, it continues to be a sought-after collection for its quality & timeless hip aesthetic.
We are pleased to be able to offer this cool eyewear collection and have a generous stock to show this season! Come in soon to check them out!

Shauna is one of our marvelous patrons who couldn’t resist getting more than one set of glasses on her visit: DO YOU BLAME HER?! Despite the fact she is basically a model of perfection for an eyewear ad, these two picks flatter her in such a way that we would consider her in our “Hall of Frame” all-time favorites!
