Alper
The Garrett Leight // Alper is a retro-inspired oval frame that blends vintage aesthetics with modern craftsmanship. Constructed in metal with an acetate insert for added structure and depth, the Alper showcases Garrett Leight’s signature Fern filigree bridge, detailed grooved end pieces, and temples fitted with integrated spring hinges for flexibility and durability. Adjustable nose pads ensure a secure and comfortable fit, while high-quality lenses provide complete UV protection. With its balance of refined detailing and timeless silhouette, the Alper is a standout design within the Garrett Leight collection. Includes Garrett Leight case, cleaning cloth, and 1-year manufacturer's warranty.

Born in Venice
Venice Beach, in a pair of frames. Garrett Leight California Optical translates sun-soaked SoCal optimism into iconic, easy-to-wear eyewear. Founded by Garrett Leight—son of Oliver Peoples founder Larry Leight—each frame fuses second-generation optical heritage with a fresh, distinctly Californian point of view.

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.
