Founded from the need for low-bridge fit eyewear, KayTran is a Canadian eyewear brand that caters exclusively to patients requiring frames specially designed for low or small nosebridges. Design details include built-out nose pads that keep the frames away from the face, a flatter frame front, and a less aggressive tilt, all incorporated to prevent the frames from resting on the wearer's cheeks.

Their collection is exclusively acetate, using the best Italian Mezzucchelli acetate to create bold, sturdy, and durable designs. Check out this new collection at both our locations.
