With over 40 years of experience in the eyewear industry, Väri founders Rich Baum and Clif Browner understand that exceptional eyewear goes beyond just style—it’s all about comfort and clarity. From their Port Washington office, they created Väri Eyewear with a mission to redefine what eyewear can be, focusing on what many brands often overlook: making frames that feel as good as they look.

Designed by opticians, Väri frames are meticulously crafted to tackle common fit issues, ensuring glasses that won’t pinch or slide. Using only the highest-quality materials, we produce flexible, lightweight frames built to last. As Clif puts it, “We focus on every detail to make wearing Väri feel effortless.”

At Väri, we believe that comfort and clarity go hand in hand. Our commitment to crystal-clear vision means we champion the vital role of eye care professionals in the eyewear purchasing process. While you can easily buy your frames online, we encourage you to visit your local eye care professional for a comprehensive exam. This collaboration ensures your prescription is 100% accurate, allowing you to enjoy both outstanding eye health and unparalleled comfort.

Our customers often describe wearing Väri as “coming home”—a perfect blend of comfort, style, and clear vision. With over 21 collections and countless colors, there’s a Väri frame for every face, every lifestyle, and every occasion.
