Celebrating 135 Years of Vision: Harvey & Lewis Opticians’ 2025 Highlights

February 20, 2026

As 2025 comes to a close, we are filled with gratitude, pride, and excitement for everything this year has brought to the Harvey & Lewis Opticians family. From celebrating an incredible milestone anniversary to expanding our footprint and launching a brand-new luxury eyewear line, 2025 has truly been a year to remember.


Here’s a look back at the top highlights that made this year so special.

135 Years of Harvey & Lewis Opticians

In 2025, we proudly celebrated 135 years in business — a milestone few companies ever reach.


Since 1890, Harvey & Lewis Opticians has remained family-owned and operated, delivering exceptional eye care and designer eyewear to generations of Connecticut families. What began as a small optical business has grown into a trusted name with multiple locations across the state, all while staying true to our core values:

  • Experienced, compassionate eye doctor
  • In-house lens manufacturing
  • The latest eye care technology
  • Personalized service and attention
  • Designer eyewear curated for every style


Reaching 135 years is not just a celebration of longevity — it’s a celebration of the patients, families, and communities who have trusted us with their vision for more than a century. We are honored to continue serving you.

Opening of Our Brand-New Cheshire Location (Now Our 9th Location)

Another exciting milestone in 2025 was the grand opening of our Cheshire location — our 9th office in Connecticut.



This beautiful new space was designed to deliver the same trusted care and elevated eyewear experience our patients know and love, now conveniently located for the Cheshire community.


From comprehensive eye exams and advanced diagnostic technology to an exceptional selection of designer frames, the Cheshire office reflects our commitment to blending modern innovation with our 135-year tradition of excellence.

Introducing the “1890 Collection” — A New Standard in Luxury Eyewear

To commemorate our founding year, we proudly introduced the 1890 Collection — a premium, high-end eyewear line crafted to reflect timeless sophistication and modern craftsmanship.


The 1890 Collection was designed for those who appreciate:



  • Refined, luxury materials
  • Elevated craftsmanship
  • Classic silhouettes with contemporary edge
  • Statement-making design

This collection pays tribute to our roots while embracing the future of fashion-forward eyewear. Each frame reflects the quality, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence that has defined Harvey & Lewis since 1890.


The response to the 1890 Collection has been incredible, and we are excited to continue expanding this exclusive line.

Looking Ahead to 2026

While 2025 was filled with major milestones, we see it as just the beginning of our next chapter. With 135 years behind us and continued growth ahead, our mission remains the same:


To provide exceptional eye care, cutting-edge technology, and designer eyewear — all with the personal touch that has defined us for generations.



To our patients, staff, and communities across Connecticut — thank you for being part of our journey.
