Our Story

A neighborhood shop with a passion for eyewear

Framesmith DC started with a simple idea: everyone deserves glasses that look great and feel even better — without the big-box rush.

Located on 11th Street NW in the heart of Washington, we've been serving our community with personalized frame selections, expert lens fitting, and repairs that actually last.

Whether you're picking your first pair of glasses or you need a hinge re-soldered at 4 PM on a Friday, we treat every visit like it matters — because it does.
