Finding the right glasses involves more than correcting your vision—the right frames can capture and enhance your personal style in ways nothing else can. Dr. Bui D. Thuy, of Bui Optométriste, understood this so deeply that she opened Bui Atelier in Old Montreal to custom-design frames specifically for each person who walks through the door.
Beyond the custom service, the atelier also carries a curated selection of independent designer frames—pieces you won't find in chain opticians. The combination lets customers either go fully bespoke or browse smaller, thoughtfully selected collections.
In a city where personalization matters and small-scale craftsmanship still has cultural weight, a place that treats eyewear as both functional and expressive fills a real gap. Old Montreal has always attracted makers and independent retailers; Bui Atelier fits naturally into that block's character.
It's the kind of shop that rewards a neighborhood walk—worth stopping by if you're in the area or actively looking for something that actually fits who you are.
