Page 1 - Who Owns Nerdy Frames? How Did It Start?

My name is Geraldo Delgado. I am an eyewear designer and optician. I was born and raised in New York City. I grew up in a New York City Housing Authority apartment.

How did this journey start? I worked a lot of jobs that I didn’t love. In 2008 by chance a friend of a friend suggested becoming an optician. That idea grew in my head and by 2010, I was a licensed optician in the state of New York. I’ll spare you all the details about being an optician but I came to realize that I didn’t love the way opticals operated and how eyewear was priced.

Vision Insurance Information

How Insurance Reimbursement Works

Unfortunately, we don't have any direct partnerships with vision insurance providers, but we can assist you in getting a reimbursement for your purchase after you have paid in full at the time of purchase. In order to be reimbursed, you will first need to fill out a form from your insurance provider. After you fill out their reimbursement form, you will need to provide an itemized receipt, which we can provide you with once you have completed your purchase. We've provided some links below of popular vision insurance providers to help you get started.

Please contact your vision insurance for more information on how to file for a reimbursement.

If you have any question or you need an itemized receipt, please email us at info@nerdyframes.com

FSA & HSA Payments

We accept both FSA and HSA payments, as long as they are in the form of a credit or debit card. After you have had completed a purchase with your FSA/HSA, you can then file for a reimbursement with your vision insurance provider.
