Matty Patty

Matty ia a Durhamite and has been in the optical field serving Durham for over 20 years. He has personally cut lenses for tens of thousands of pairs of glasses for the community. He uses a time honored tradition of cutting lenses on site to ensure the quality of all eyewear that is to be worn. Cutting lenses on site also keeps costs down, and having glasses ready two to three times faster than other optical shops in Durham.

His personal commitment to excellence doesn’t end with lenses. He is also the only eyeglass designer in Durham that works locally, nationwide and internationally with manufactures to custom design eyewear as diverse as the people in Durham who wear them. Matty is partnered with another Durhamite, Dr. J. Stuart McCracken to offer Durham’s only Durhamite owned and operated full service optical center.

Matty was one of the 3 founding farmers of the Durham Farmers Market and can still be found in his garden during the morning and at dusk. He has two cats, and he can also be found photographing sunrises and sunsets at North Carolina beaches and mountains.

Everyone at Durham Eyeglass Company believes you deserve a local alternative to the growing number of corporate box stores while caring about Durham one pair of eyes at a time.
