Why Together Again?

Co-owners, Maressa and Neil first met over ten years ago in Waterloo, when Neil was managing an optometry office and Maressa joined the team. They worked closely together, even living under the same roof for several years before Maressa moved to Toronto to continue her career as a licensed optician. Years later, they reunited to open Together Again Eyewear.

The space celebrates thoughtful curation, attention to detail, and the joy of discovering unique eyewear. Frames are selected for quality and character, paired with personalized service that helps each person find what fits their lifestyle. Made-to-order prescription lenses complete each pair, blending function with individuality, while a selection of ready-to-wear sunglasses are available for those seeking non-prescription options.

Meet Maressa

Maressa’s path into eyewear began through an interest in fashion buying, which shifted toward optics after being introduced to the industry in 2016. She later became a licensed optician and has worked across a range of optical environments in Waterloo and Toronto. Her approach is shaped by a strong appreciation for sourcing, with a focus on vintage and secondhand pieces across clothing and interiors. Outside the shop, she spends time with her rescue dog, Phife.

Meet Neil

Neil began working in the optical industry in 2006, starting in sales and moving into marketing and buying. His work has centered on building thoughtful brand relationships and maintaining strong connections within the eyewear community, both locally and internationally. He has a particular interest in storytelling, movement, and time spent outdoors. Outside of work, he runs trails and spends time with his white shepherd labrador husky, Derby.
