We Don’t Cut Corners — Just Costs
Share
There’s no polite way to say it:
Prescription lenses cost far more than they should.
Between brand markups, licensing games, middlemen, and bloated overhead, most people are paying two to five times more than necessary — often without realizing it.
At Cali Optics, we decided to do things differently.
The Cali Optics Approach
We started by asking a simple question:
What do most people actually need in a lens?
The answer was clear — single vision lenses, made with care, delivered quickly, and priced fairly. So we trimmed the fat, skipped the gimmicks, and built a direct, efficient system around doing one thing really well.
That’s how we offer $99 premium lenses, made in the USA. Quality and accuracy.
What’s Included — Every Time
Every pair of Single Vision Plus lenses includes:
-
Anti-glare coating and UV protection
-
Impact resistance
-
A thin, lightweight design that looks great and feels even better
- A 24-month warranty against scratches and damage — we’ll replace them once, no extra charge
We don’t believe you should have to pay extra for the essentials.
Where We Don’t Cut Corners
We’re proud of what we leave out — inflated costs, overseas delays, and wasteful layers.
But there are a few things we’ll never cut:
-
Prescription Accuracy: Every lens is verified for precision. If something’s off, we’ll remake it or refund you.
-
Made in California: We edge every lens in-house using our state-of-the-art lab, right here in San Francisco.
-
Top-tier Surfacing: Our U.S. lab partners have decades of experience in precision optics.
-
Fast Turnaround: Most orders ship back within a few business days. No waiting weeks for overseas manufacturing.
A Better Model — Not a Cheaper Product
We don’t:
-
Rent high-rent storefronts
-
Pay for celebrity endorsements
-
Push you into upgrades you didn’t ask for

We make high-quality prescription lenses for people who already have frames they love — and want a better way to keep seeing clearly.
