Services for Beacon Clients
Our collection features 18+ luxury brands including Mykita (Berlin-engineered with patented spiral hinges), ic! Berlin (screwless, infinitely adjustable), Lindberg (world's lightest titanium frames), Face à Face (Parisian architectural color), L.A. Eyeworks (bold creative expression), and Sabine Be (French artisanal color-blocking). These are the brands worn by architects, artists, and design professionals worldwide.

Our dedicated Dry Eye Spa offers spa-based Lumenis OptiLight IPL, OptiPLUS radiofrequency, and OptiLIFT sessions for personalized dry eye support. These noninvasive services complement—not replace—medical eye care, and referrals are coordinated when appropriate.

Whether you're coming from a Saturday afternoon at Dia:Beacon, brunch on Main Street, or the Metro-North platform, The Last Optical is a quick drive across the bridge. Many of our Beacon patients are creative professionals — architects, designers, photographers, gallery owners — who tell us our collection feels like it was curated specifically for them. We offer complimentary beverages and an unhurried atmosphere, because choosing the right frame deserves the same attention as choosing the right artwork.
