Looking for an optician and eyewear store in central Mannheim? At VIU Eyewear, you will find premium glasses and sunglasses designed for every personality. Our Mannheim store is the place to discover stylish, handcrafted frames with a distinctive design. All VIU eyewear is designed in Switzerland and then produced in specialist workshops through a process involving more than 80 individual steps.
We believe that glasses are much more than a way to correct your vision. They should not only support your eyesight, but also reflect your personality. That is why our experienced opticians take the time to assess your vision carefully and help you find the frame shape that best complements you and your facial features.
At the VIU Store Mannheim, you can expect more than a traditional visit to the optician. We combine precise optometry with design expertise and personalised advice. In a calm setting, we take the time to guide you through every step, from the initial eye test to the final fitting of your glasses.
Whether you are choosing your first pair of glasses or need an updated prescription, our experienced opticians in Mannheim assess your vision accurately and reliably. Using high-quality, hygienic testing equipment, we analyse your individual vision needs and advise you transparently on the most suitable lenses.
All prescription lenses also come with a 90-day adaptation guarantee.
Together with our eyewear experts, you can discover frames that suit your personal style, everyday routine and personality. We guide you through different materials, shapes and colours and help you find glasses that work for both your look and your individual vision needs.
To make sure your glasses not only look good but also feel comfortable throughout the day, we adjust them individually at our Mannheim store. Our service continues after your purchase too: we take care of minor repairs, readjust the fit of your glasses and offer professional cleaning to help keep your vision clear.
You will find our VIU Store in the heart of central Mannheim, at P7 close to the Planken shopping district. It is a space where design and craftsmanship come together. Across around 76 square metres, the store features an open, light-filled interior with clean lines and a deliberately minimalist design that keeps the focus on the eyewear.
Our dedicated eye-testing area is located on the upper floor, providing a quiet environment where we can focus entirely on your vision and individual needs. With convenient opening hours, you can plan your visit flexibly, whether you drop in while shopping in the city or book a dedicated appointment.
After your visit, the central location makes it easy to explore more of Mannheim. Browse the shops along the Planken, take a walk towards the Rhine or stop at one of the nearby cafés and restaurants to round off your visit to VIU.
