Luxury eyewear. Midwestern charm.

We’re Kinkead Optical Co., a family-owned independent eyewear shop in Omaha’s Millwork Commons. We carry thoughtfully chosen frames from independent designers who do things a little differently. Our job is to help you find the pair that feels right for you, with good advice and no pressure.

What We Do

We specialize in eyewear that feels like you, from everyday frames and sunglasses to custom designs and prescription lenses. Every pair is expertly fitted by our optician, Alex Kinkead.

Need an adjustment, a repair, or help figuring out which lenses are right for you? We can help with that, too. We offer custom lens shapes, tints, sunglass clips, and frame details. We’ll walk you through your options to help you make your glasses your own.

What our Customers Say

Our Brands

We carefully curate a collection of independent eyewear from designers around the world. We look for frames that stand out for thoughtful design, exceptional craftsmanship, and details you won’t find everywhere.

Many of the brands we carry produce in smaller batches rather than mass-producing frame after frame. Some create shapes, colors, and combinations that are one of a kind. We’re drawn to makers who care about how their frames are made, choose quality materials, and create eyewear designed to be worn for years.

We believe your glasses should be something you’re excited to wear and something that feels like you.
