YOUR VISION,
OUR LEGACY.
Passed down through the generations, Fritz & Hawley Guild Opticians has become a staple within the New Haven County community.
WHO WE ARE
AN OPTICAL SHOP WITH HISTORY
Connecticut’s first optical shop was started in 1855, by Paul Rossler, a German immigrant, who came to New Haven, CT. The shop was later purchased by Gustave Fritz and George Hawley in 1900, naming it The Fritz & Hawley Company.

Whether you’re looking for a new pair of glasses or a fresh set of contacts, our skilled team will help you find just the right fit. We offer a wide selection at our Hamden optical shop, so you’re guaranteed to find something you love!
EYE CARE
EXPERT EYE EXAMS
Did you know optometrists can evaluate, diagnose, and treat your eyes? Our experienced independent optometrist can provide you with a thorough eye exam and determine if you need corrective lenses and your precise prescription, resulting in a smooth experience.

REPAIR & MAINTENANCE
CONTINUED CARE & WARRANTIES
Eyewear purchased at our location is covered (excluding parts required, if any), though we happily service frames purchased outside of Fritz & Hawley Guild Opticians. Also, if your frame happens to have a defect (rare, but possible) we will help facilitate your 1-year manufacturer’s warranty if provided by the brand.
Has your doctor changed your prescription? If we received your previous script within the last 60 days, we will do a one-time remake of your lenses at no charge (excludes upgrades).
