Services at Your Optician in Winterthur

At VIU in Winterthur, precise optometry, personalized consultations, and minimalist design are at the core of what we do. Our services accompany you from measuring your vision strength to the final custom fitting of your glasses.

Eye Test

A precise eye test forms the foundation for clear vision in daily life. In our Winterthur store, qualified opticians determine your current vision strength using modern measuring technology.

The eye test is designed for both new and existing customers. Following your purchase, you also benefit from our 90-day satisfaction guarantee, giving you ample time to comfortably adjust to your new glasses or progressive lenses.

Personalized Style Consultation

Choosing glasses is always a matter of personality. That is why we take time for an individual consultation centered around your facial features, style, and visual needs. Together, we explore glass frames that suit you and complement your daily life.

Designed in Zurich, VIU's collections feature clean shapes, premium materials, and a minimalist design. Rather than chasing short-lived trends, our frames follow a timeless aesthetic meant to bring lasting enjoyment.

Fitting and Long-Term Service

To ensure your glasses fit perfectly, they are individually adjusted upon collection at our eyewear store in Winterthur. Even subtle adjustments can significantly enhance wearing comfort and ensure an enjoyable visual experience.
