Meet Master Optician Barry Montalto

30+ Years Fitting Children’s Eyewear

Kids aren’t just smaller adults. Their glasses shouldn’t be treated that way either.

Master Optician Barry Montalto has more than 30 years of experience fitting children’s eyewear, including young children, challenging fits and complex prescriptions.

He looks at how the frame sits on the nose, behind the ears and in front of the eyes, along with lens placement, prescription requirements, comfort and how the glasses will actually be worn every day.

Because a great-looking frame isn’t enough.

It has to fit right.

Some Kids Need a Little More Time. That’s Okay.

Not every child loves trying on glasses.

Some need extra time to get comfortable. Some are sensitive to how frames feel on their nose or ears. Others simply need a quieter, more patient fitting experience.

We offer sensory-friendly eyewear fittings and take the time your child needs.

No rushing. No pressure.

Just helping them find glasses that feel right.

Big Prescriptions Need Smart Frames

A stronger or more complex prescription changes which frames and lenses will work best.

Choosing the wrong frame can make lenses unnecessarily thick, heavy or uncomfortable.

That’s why we consider the prescription before helping your child choose a frame.

Our goal is a finished pair of glasses that looks great, feels comfortable and gives your child the best possible vision. has to fit right.

Built for Real Kid Life

Running. Sports. School. Backpacks. Playgrounds. Falling asleep with glasses still on.

We know.

We help parents choose eyewear based on how their child actually lives, with an emphasis on:

Fit. Durability. Comfort. Safety. Style.

For active kids, we also offer sports and protective eyewear with professional in-store fitting.

Our In-Store Optical Lab

Your child’s glasses deserve more than a quick handoff.

Our Metuchen optical lab allows us to cut, edge and hand-finish lenses, make precise adjustments, replace lenses in existing frames and handle many repairs right here in the store.

That means more control over the finished eyewear and another set of expert eyes checking the details before the glasses go home with your child.
