AM Eyewear: Australian Artistry in Prince Edward County

Founded on technical excellence and an independent spirit, AM Eyewear is the vision of designer Simon Ponnusamy. For over two decades, Simon has treated eyewear as a functional art form, shunning mass-market trends in favor of structural permanence and hand-finished detail.

Utilizing world-class materials like Carl Zeiss lenses and oven-cured Italian acetate, the brand focuses on the minute details—from 18kt gold-plated hardware to ergonomically milled temples—that ensure each frame is a lifelong companion. At Friends in Sight, we curate this collection for those who seek a sharp, intentional profile and a masterfully comfortable fit.

Luxury Eyewear Since 2003

The frames shown here are just a glimpse. Our Wellington studio houses a much deeper selection of AM Eyewear, including rare frame colorways, hand-carved acetates, and limited-run sun lenses.

AM Eyewear has long been recognised as Australia’s first luxury eyewear brand, creating luxury sunglasses and unique optical frames for people who care about more than just appearance, they care about how things are made, how they feel, and how they last.
