E.B. Meyrowitz, a British optician established in 1875, produces a line of luxury eyewear called the "Brontë" glasses (which may or may not refer to the Brontës). These frames feature full rims with an ovular shape, creating a distinctive silhouette that references classical eyewear styles. They are available in different finishes including Black and Amber Mottle, providing options for different preferences and style needs.

The frames are crafted using high-quality materials. The standard versions use premium acetate, while their bespoke service offers additional options including buffalo horn and rare woods for those seeking customized eyewear. Each pair of Brontë glasses is handcrafted in the company's London workshop through a multi-step process: selecting raw materials, cutting and shaping the frames, polishing, and fitting the lenses. This traditional approach to eyewear manufacturing ensures attention to detail and consistent quality.

E.B. Meyrowitz offers both ready-to-wear models and bespoke options. The bespoke service includes precise measurements of the client's face to create truly personalized eyewear. The Brontë glasses retail for approximately £1,250, positioning them in the luxury eyewear market, and are available as both prescription glasses and sunglasses according to customer needs. Interested customers can purchase these frames at E.B. Meyrowitz's boutique in London's Royal Arcade or through select specialty retailers who carry the brand.
