Look Above and Beyond.
Together Again Eyewear has a deep love and appreciation for the artistry and craftsmanship of independent eyewear. Co-owners, Maressa and Neil are committed to providing their customers with exceptional products and personalized service.
As an optical shop, Together Again Eyewear offers customized prescription lenses, including sunglasses. We have a wide selection of non-prescription, ready-to-wear sunglasses. Prescription purchases can be submitted to your health insurance provider. Maressa and Neil specialize in sourcing independent eyewear brands from many countries, including Japan, France, Italy, Spain, Hungary and Brazil. We believe independent eyewear is a medical device and fashion accessory that pairs necessity with personality and tells a beautiful story.
Maressa (She/Her)
Originally on a journey to pursue fashion buying, Maressa became more specifically interested in eyewear buying after being introduced by Neil to the optical world in 2016. Soon after, Maressa became a licensed optician and went on to work in a variety of optometry/opticianry environments in Waterloo and Toronto. She appreciates sourcing vintage and secondhand goods from clothing to interior decor and spends her free time with her Italian Greyhound, Goji.
Neil (He/Him)
Way back in 2006 (when Maressa was yet a wee child), Neil began his journey in the optical industry as a sales associate and worked toward becoming a marketing and buying manager. His focus on brand building and community engagement has led to genuine and lasting relationships with eyewear designers and professionals, business owners and community members locally and internationally. He appreciates fantastical stories, running through the forest and spends his free time with his White Shepherd Lab Husky Derbalicious.
