Prince Edward County x Friends in Sight | Wellington, PEC
Everything looks better from here.
At Friends in Sight, we’ve always believed that perspective is everything. It’s why we chose to build our studio in Wellington, ON, a village that balances rugged lakeside beauty with a refined, creative pulse. To us, the County isn't just a location; it’s a standard of living that values the artisanal over the mass-produced and the quiet moment over the noise.
It seems the secret is out. With Condé Nast Traveler naming Prince Edward County one of the best places to visit, the world is catching on to what we see every day from our studio windows. But despite the accolades, the County remains a place defined by its makers—the winemakers, the artists, the chefs, and the curators who choose to do things the right way, rather than the easy way.
A Destination for the Discerning
Whether you are crossing the bridge for a weekend of discovery or you’ve called these shorelines home for generations, there is a specific energy here that demands you slow down.
The Wellington Vibe: Spend your morning at the farmers' market, grab a coffee, and wander down to the docks. The light off Lake Ontario has a way of softening everything it touches.
A Curated Landscape: From the iconic dunes of Sandbanks to the historic limestone foundations and galleries tucked into weathered barns, the County is a playground for the "art-first" individual.
The Studio Experience: We invite you to step into our space on Main Street. We’ve filled it with music, plants, and a curated collection of eyewear—from the industrial grit of TAVAT to the hand-sculpted French acetate of Jean Philippe Joly and more —that you won't find anywhere else in the wild.
About Friends in Sight
We are an independent optical studio dedicated to the art of the frame and clear vision. Stepping away from the clinical feel of traditional opticals, our boutique is a welcoming space for curated eyewear, custom lens tailoring, and expert frame restoration.
As a two-person team combining backgrounds as opticians, artists, and stylists, we curate our collection across a range of thoughtful price points—balancing approachable, well-crafted designs with rare, small-batch independent labels. From our studio in Wellington, we offer a personal, one-on-one experience alongside Canada-wide shipping.

We acknowledge that Friends in Sight is located on the traditional lands of the Anishinaabe, Huron-Wendat, and Haudenosaunee peoples, who have stewarded these lands and waters for thousands of years. We recognize our neighbours in the Kanien’kehá:ka (Mohawk) community of Tyendinaga, and in the spirit of reconciliation, we affirm our commitment to building healthy, respectful relationships with all Indigenous peoples across Turtle Island.
