Welcome to blink eyewear
Blink Eyewear is an independent optical boutique in Collingwood, Ontario specializing in curated designer eyewear, custom fittings, and personalized frame styling for patients across Simcoe County and Southern Georgian Bay.
Founded in 2014 out of a passion for carefully curated style meeting functional necessity, Jessie’s vision lives in Collingwood’s historic district. You are invited to experience and explore new collections hand selected from premium, independent, and handmade eyewear brands worldwide.
Our perspective is that the experience of investing in eyewear should be just that, an experience. We look forward to guiding you through our process. Eyewear is more than just a name on your temple, our role and passion are to help you look past the familiar and discover something new.
