Inspiration starts with a problem. Reasonably priced glasses are made cheaply. Nerdy Frames was founded with a single mission – to provide you with stylish and affordable eyewear – without compromising on quality. Launched in New York City in 2012, Nerdy Frames is the creation of Harlem native Geraldo Delgado.

Nerdy Frames’ roots are humble. The idea for Nerdy Frames was born in an apartment in New York City. The first few frames were designed and handmade in a small bedroom, you can imagine the mess.

Initially, in 2012 we were designing and manufacturing eyewear for dozens of brands in New York City. We took that experience and branched out on our own. We successfully sold the first batch of eyeglasses to local optical stores and Nerdy Frames expanded to an office in Harlem NYC, where larger quantities could be made. Slowly, but steadily, through word of mouth we have been able to grow. We went from selling locally to selling to the entire country.

We now concentrate on selling directly to you. Our mission is to provide you with a balance of luxury quality and affordable pricing. We aim to be better than the stock you will find at any of the corporate stores (Lenscrafter, Pearl Vision, Warby Parker) and rival the quality you will find in a boutique optical. We maintain an online-focused presence to keep your cost as low as possible and give you the best quality, plain and simple.
