A New Gopen Optical

About

A New Gopen Optical is an independent eyewear shop in historic Dedham Square that fits and makes prescription glasses with a personal touch. Its approach uses a European fitting model: staff first determine the proper lens system for each client, then select a frame that makes those lenses look great. The shop carries a wide variety of frames and lenses chosen to complement the face and personality of the wearer, and it says it stocks more green-toned frames than anyone else in the region.

The Gopen name in eyecare dates to 1870. Leonard C. Shwom, RDO, a third-generation practitioner, provides fashion-forward prescription eyewear at the shop. Unlike large chain stores, it emphasizes personal service to find the right frame and fit, and prescription glasses are made on site, with staff making sure both fit and vision are to the customer’s satisfaction. The shop’s staff say they are fully prepared to provide the service and styles customers are looking for.
