Coming all the way from Los Angeles, California this line is known for breaking the "norm" of your typical eyewear and only houses their inventory in independently owned and operated optical shops! l.a. Eyeworks frames are easily recognizable due to their bold shapes, unique materials, and expressive use of colors. Their frames can often be found on many celebrities, performers, artists, and athletes, but are also easily accessible to you here in Downtown Greensboro!
