STEPPER is synonymous with design perfection and materials excellence, creating eyecare solutions since 1970.
This unique reputation is recognised by eyecare professionals and appreciated by spectacle wearers worldwide.
Starting from Hans Stepper’s original ‘SI’ frames, manufactured using advanced injection moulding processes and 3D design, through to the introduction of sophisticated, lightweight Titanium eyewear – STEPPER EYEWEAR delivers class-leading eyecare products professionals can rely on and whose patients experience the most comfortable vision.
Our Vision: Your Success Through Your Patient’s Delight
In 1970 Hans Stepper (a German Master Optician) conceived and created the first ‘SI’ frames. His objective was to deliver the best fitting frame that would hold lenses precisely and in a stable position with the upmost wearer comfort. Day-long, day-in-day-out, perfect vision that felt natural and effortless was the original result.
Product diversification, evolution and development mean today we deliver frames that are truly exceptional from a brand eyecare professionals and spectacle wearers alike can rely on and trust.
STEPPER EYEWEAR offers the reassurance of working with a professional and reliable partner and, for those to whom you recommend us, an enhanced life experience in harmony with their spectacles.
Our frames are designed to the ensure fit is exceptional. The materials used are ‘best-for-purpose’; being lightweight, hypoallergenic, stable and durable. Combined, this delivers exceptional comfort and the perfect device to hold lenses correctly before the eyes.
Choose European Fit, Asian Fit, African Fit or Alpha Fit frames to meet the precise fitting requirements of the wearer.
