Nomos
The AKILA - Nomos features a gently tapered square-round silhouette with dual-pin rivets at each end for subtle structural character. Born from AKILA's independent Los Angeles roots and commitment to understated, enduring design, the Nomos keeps things clean without sacrificing personality. Crafted from bio-based acetate sourced from cotton and wood pulp, each frame takes 90 days and over 100 technical steps to complete. Recycled nylon lenses provide blue-light-filtering clarity that's lightweight and comfortable through every screen-heavy day. These optical frames blend quiet versatility with 90s and early Y2K-inspired sensibility and LA's eclectic streetwear spirit. Perfect for the minimalist wearer seeking a refined everyday frame that works as hard as it looks. Includes AKILA Eyewear oversized microfiber cleaning cloth, sustainable and durable cork leather case, and 1-year manufacturer warranty.

Pupil Distance
One last step before checkout
Pupil distance (PD) is the distance in millimeters between the centers of your pupils. It's used to align the optical center of your lenses with your eyes. Most adults have a PD between 54–74 mm. You can find it on your prescription or ask your eye doctor.
Measure Your PD
We recommend using the EyeMeasure app for accurate results
Use your iPhone's TrueDepth camera to measure your pupil distance in seconds. It's the same technology used by opticians.
