The Barnet Atelier & Optical Diagnostics Lab

Founded in 2019 by Farasat Khan, Frieda Luxury Optics has grown into Hertfordshire's premier independent destination for authenticated vintage eyewear and bespoke optical restoration.

Located at 45 High Street, Barnet, Hertfordshire, EN5 5UQ, our workshop unites traditional British optical benchcraft with state-of-the-art diagnostic instruments. Every frame in our collection is meticulously inspected, acoustically cleansed, and precision-aligned before joining our curated archive.

1. Computerised Lensmeter

Every prescription lens and tinted sun-shield is verified via computerized auto-lensmeters to guarantee optical center alignment, true dioptric curvature, and zero optical distortion.

2. 40kHz Ultrasonic Bath

Frames undergo a medical-grade 40kHz ultrasonic sanitisation bath using non-corrosive surfactant solutions, eliminating microscopic debris from nosepad wells and 5-barrel hinges.

3. UV400 Spectral Analysis

Sun lenses are analyzed under UV-Vis spectrophotometers to certify 100% UVA and UVB radiation blockage up to 400nm, adhering to BS EN ISO 12312-1:2022 standards.
