Canadian Independent Optical Shop in Guelph

Canadian Ownership

Maressa Dixon and Neil Moser are the co-owners of Together Again Eyewear. We are not owned by a mysterious franchise beyond Canadian borders. It’s just us! We do carry a variety of international independent eyewear brands that we personally source from humans we admire and respect for their integrity and their craftsmanship. We stay away from brands that are mass-produced and oversaturated in a fast-fashion market.

Secondhand

We have a curated secondhand collection of frames from a variety of independent eyewear designers. The frames were personally and slowly acquired throughout the combined decades of our immersion in the optical industry. Purchasing frames from this collection directly supports our Canadian shop and is a great way to shop sustainably. Come, see, feel, and try on these models in the shop!
