The story of Hello Glasses began in 2009 as a blog about vintage eyewear. What started as a passion eventually grew into an optical store in Kyiv, where we curated some of the industry\u2019s most interesting pieces from past decades: from vintage Persol frames to Mykita designs made with 3D printing.<\/p>\n

In 2020, we turned our focus to the primary function of glasses by opening a vision testing room in partnership with the German lens manufacturer Carl Zeiss Vision.<\/p>\n

Since 2023, the Hello Glasses showcase has operated at Kyiv\u2019s TSUM department store, promoting indie eyewear brands. The project closed<\/a> in 2025.<\/p>\n

In the spring of 2025, the Oculus Dexter project was launched<\/a>, featuring a new portfolio of brands and an eye care office N9 run by Kyiv ophthalmologist Dr. Ayik Khachatryan.<\/p>\n

Combining optometry and fashion, we are happy to do what we love \u2014 always working to refine and improve it.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row max_width=”1200″ disable_element=”yes”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”60″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

The history of Hello Glasses began in 2009 with a blog about vintage glasses. His passion and interest in frames eventually grew into the first optical store in Kyiv. We take great care in what we present on our shelves and rely on quality, style and aesthetics. This approach does not limit us to well-known names, but gives more space to collections from small brands that, in fact, shape the concept of modern optics. This is how we work.<\/h2>\n
