Neighborhood resident Paul Wilkes left his 10-year career in advertising to go into business with his eye doctor dad, Steve.

“In short it is kind of a counter culture eye doctor’s office, but with a heavy hand in the retail side,” Paul Wilkes says.

The shop carries brands that are hard to find elsewhere in Dallas, he says.

The boutique offers eye exams as well as glasses from labels including Garrett Leight, Sons and Daughters and Mykita. They’re open 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday.
