Shuron eyewear boasts state-of-the-art construction techniques and throwback eyeglasses and sunglasses styles. Find the frames you crave from Shuron, an eyewear maker who's been in the game since before your great-grandparents wore glasses.
It’s more than a throwback—Shuron eyewear boasts the authoritative title of “The Original Retro.” Shuron has been crafting eyewear since 1865 and is one of the oldest eyewear manufacturers in existence today. Its decades of experience show in each frame, with favorite frames from the 1950s and 1960s still in production. The 16 millionth Shuron Ronsir frame sold in 1971, and that momentum continues still.
Shuron’s most popular eyewear styles from the 1950s are still in demand, decades later. Thanks to shows like Mad Men, which features the throwback eyewear, Shuron has enjoyed a recent surge in popularity. The collection includes a variety of Buddy Holly-style frames and thick-rimmed wayfarers, together with rockabilly-style frames, chic cat-eye silhouettes, and sleek rimless and semi-rimless styles. Simple and embellished frames showcase versatility in the Shuron eyewear collection.
The Ronsir, the Shuron style that started the clubmaster craze, remains its most popular shape for sunglass and eyeglass frames. Shuron has continuously produced the Ronsir frame since introducing it in 1947. This style is constructed with Zyl—a type of acetate—at the top of the frame, with a lower rim made of sleek metal. Temple arms are made with either Zyl or metal, in a slipper, tapered, or cable style. These iconic frames are still made in the USA in an updated production process.
Shuron eyeglasses frames are available in a wide range of sizes—choose the correct eye, bridge, temple, and B measurement, or lens height, to achieve a perfect custom fit. As an authorized retailer, FramesDirect sells only authentic Shuron eyeglasses, guaranteed.
Shuron pioneered some of the 20th century's most iconic silhouettes, most notably the Ronsir browline frame launched in 1947, alongside timeless acetate classics like the Freeway and vintage-inspired metal round designs worn by cultural and historical icons.
Shuron offers rare customizable fit options on select models, including varied temple lengths, classic cable temples that wrap securely behind the ear, and distinct bridge widths to fit diverse facial structures comfortably.
