Services at Our Optician in Berlin Mitte

At the VIU store in Mitte, qualified opticians are here to help with everything related to your vision, eyewear, personal style and fit. Our services follow a clear approach: precise measurements, individual advice, high-quality lenses and long-term support.

Free Eye Test in Mitte

Our complimentary eye test in Berlin Mitte is available to both new and returning customers. Using modern measuring technology, our qualified opticians assess your prescription accurately and provide a detailed evaluation of your eyesight.

Based on these results, we help you choose prescription glasses or sunglasses with lenses tailored to your daily routine. Our 90-day adaptation guarantee gives you added peace of mind, and appointments can be booked easily online.

Personal Eyewear Styling

During a styling consultation, the focus is not simply on the glasses, but on the person wearing them. Our Mitte team advises you on shapes, materials and proportions without overwhelming your look.

Every VIU frame is designed in Zurich and follows a clear aesthetic: minimalist, refined and understated. This makes it easier to find glasses or sunglasses that complement both your face and your everyday style.

Professional Fitting and Aftercare

When you collect your glasses, the frame is carefully adjusted to your facial features to ensure a comfortable fit and reliable performance throughout the day. Small details can make a significant difference to both comfort and fit.

Our team also remains available after your purchase. Professional cleaning, minor repairs and adjustments are all part of the service. If your glasses no longer fit perfectly, you are always welcome to visit our Berlin Mitte store for assistance.

About Our Optician in Mitte

The VIU Berlin Mitte store is located at Alte Schönhauserstraße 47, 10119 Berlin. The setting reflects the brand itself: central, urban and design-conscious without feeling loud or overstated. Rather than the crowded displays often associated with traditional opticians, the store features a deliberately minimalist interior that gives the eyewear, materials and personal consultation room to stand out.

Alte Schönhauserstraße is situated in the historic Scheunenviertel, one of Berlin Mitte’s most distinctive areas. Between Rosenthaler Straße, Münzstraße, Weinmeisterstraße and Hackescher Markt, independent design shops, cafés, concept stores and well-known brands come together with everyday Berlin life.

A visit to VIU can easily be combined with a walk through the neighbourhood, whether towards the Hackesche Höfe, Hackescher Markt or Rosenthaler Platz.

Inside the store, you will find a curated selection of prescription glasses and sunglasses. The collection is intentionally focused, featuring modern shapes, premium materials and designs that are not driven by every passing trend. Prescription lenses, progressive glasses and individual visual requirements are considered together as part of one complete solution.

The store is easy to reach on foot from many parts of Berlin Mitte. Weinmeisterstraße underground station is particularly close, while Hackescher Markt, Rosenthaler Platz and Alexanderplatz are also within easy reach. Depending on your starting point, you can travel by underground, S-Bahn or tram and walk the final few minutes through one of the city’s liveliest shopping districts.

VIU Mitte is generally open Monday to Friday from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm and Saturday from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm. We recommend booking an appointment for an eye test or an in-depth consultation. For smaller service requests, you are also welcome to visit without an appointment.

What makes VIU different from traditional opticians?
