Why Costa Mesa, Newport Beach, and Lido Residents Love MEGANE Elevated Optical

At the heart of Costa Mesa’s Paseo 17 lies a quiet gem that has quickly become a beloved destination for eyewear enthusiasts: MEGANE Elevated Optical. Whether you're strolling from Milligram Coffee, stopping by Rye Goods, or coming to the area for your beauty appointment or a fitness session, our boutique is redefining what it means to shop for glasses through personal service, high end craftsmanship, and a deeply thoughtful experience.

A Different Kind of Eyewear Experience

From the moment you step inside, you’ll feel it is a calm, minimalist space inspired by Japanese design and filled with natural light. It's an experience curated for those who care about style, comfort, and quality.

Customers often comment on how beautiful and peaceful the space feels. One visitor described it as “more like a gallery than a glasses shop.” That’s intentional by design. Every detail, from our handcrafted Japanese frames to the relaxing atmosphere and personalized customer service, is meant to elevate your time with us.

Curated Selection, Unmatched Quality

We specialize in handcrafted Japanese eyewear and independent eyewear brands from around the world. Locals are especially excited to find brands like EYEVAN, YUICHI TOYAMA, AKONI, Garrett Leight, MOSCOT, Oliver Peoples, our in house brand - NYBK - and more, right here in Costa Mesa.

Many customers are thrilled to discover Japanese eyewear they previously only found abroad. One guest shared, “I got a few frames from EYEVAN while living in Japan. I wear them every day, and they are still in great condition. I couldn’t believe it when I found them here.”

We’re also known for carrying low bridge fit frames ideal for Asian face shapes and those seeking a better fitting alternative to standard glasses.

Personalized Care, Elevated Results

What truly sets MEGANE apart is the experience. Led by Josh and Ash, each visit feels curated and intentional. Customers often mention how transformative their vision feels after getting lenses here; one reviewer even shared that “everything changed, the world looked sharper, clearer, more crisp,” calling them “the best lenses I’ve ever worn.”

From lens education and customizable options to thoughtful frame recommendations, we tailor every step to your lifestyle. Whether you’re upgrading to lightweight Japanese titanium, exploring progressive lens options, or simply refreshing your everyday look, our focus is always on clarity, comfort, and design.

Quality Lenses & Same-Day Service

We use premium lenses from HOYA and SEIKO ideal for those dealing with dry eyes, digital eye strain, or long hours in front of a screen. One customer working in tech noted: “These lenses have the same prescription as before, but I feel way less eye fatigue throughout the day.”

Just need new Lenses? Use our Re-Lens Service. We offer lens replacements for any frame you already own, no need to buy new ones if you love what you have!

Need your prescription glasses quickly? We offer SAME-DAY or RUSH lens replacements when possible, thanks to our in-house lens edging and tint technology - for Sun lenses, Polarized, or non-prescription or Single Vision Prescriptions within our available stock lenses.

Repairs, Restorations, & Nosepad Installations.

Do you have dull, stained or broken frames? Bring your favorite frames back to life with our professional repair and restoration services. By polishing, reshaping, and repairing, we can fix hinges, nosepad arms or bridge buildups, etc. Whether your glasses need a simple tune-up or a full restoration, we can help you preserve the eyewear you love without compromise.

Why Locals Keep Coming Back

We’ve helped people repair beloved frames, find eyewear that actually fits their face, or rediscover comfort after years of struggling with generic options. Some come in with no plans to buy and leave with three pairs they love. MEGANE has become a trusted part of the Costa Mesa and Newport Beach community. Locals describe us as “a much-needed addition to the neighborhood” and “an experience that feels elevated, not rushed.”

We’re proud to offer something different eyewear with soul, fit with care, and crafted to last.

Thank you to our amazing community of customers who continue to support what we do. Your trust, referrals, and kind reviews mean the world to us.
