Babybrillen sind speziell auf zarte Babygesichter und die empfindliche Haut abgestimmt. Sie sind superleicht, flexibel und ergonomisch, damit sie bequem sitzen und das Sehen unterstützen – ohne Druckpunkte. Kinderbrillen für ältere Kinder sind oft größer, stabiler und weniger flexibel, da die Gesichter schon ausgereifter sind.

Unsere Babybrille NOA Soft ist für die Allerkleinsten ab den ersten Monaten konzipiert – in der Regel bis etwa 2 Jahre, je nach Größe und Entwicklungsstand. So können Babys schon früh sicher sehen und die Welt entdecken.

So können die Kleinsten die perfekte Brille bekommen – sicher, bequem und passend.

If your values ​​are re-measured, we recommend that you visit your ophthalmologist. There you will receive a prescription with your new values. If you want to choose replacement glasses, you can also use the values ​​from your original glasses, which you can often find on the invoice or glasses prescription. You should also use the values ​​from your original glasses for sunglasses.

Children's glasses are often prescribed by an ophthalmologist. However, a measurement by a local optician with an optometric focus is of course also possible and often even more thorough.

In addition to the prescription, which always consists of the sphere (Sph/SPH) and often also the cylinder (Cyl/CYL) and axis (A/A°), we also need your pupil distance (PD).

Yes, that is at least as important as the actual value. A different sign changes the lens completely. Please pay close attention to the signs and enter them correctly, otherwise the glasses will not work later.

This is ok and completely normal, don't worry.

This indicates which value is intended for your RRRight eye (OD) and which is intended for your LLEft eye (OS). Please be careful not to confuse them.

This is completely normal and you can also get these types of lenses from us. A cylinder corrects your corneal curvature and usually makes your vision a little clearer.

Yes, you can get such lenses from us.

Yes, we have the right lens for you.

Yes, there are special lenses with a cylinder that you can get from us.

For all 'special' prescriptions, you can use the inquiry option. Our experienced opticians will then check your prescription and come back to you with an individual lens suggestion.

Yes, we are also happy to fit you with lenses in your near vision, which you can then wear for reading.

Yes, simply submit the invoice for your glasses to your private health insurance or supplementary insurance. The amount of reimbursement depends on your contract.

Unfortunately, we are currently unable to offer you a prism/prism film. Please contact your local optician, who can take the necessary measurements. Simply order your MANTI MANTI glasses without prescription and the rest will happen at the shop around the corner. Or contact our MANTI MANTI partner optician and have the entire pair of glasses made there.

Unfortunately, we are currently unable to offer you different strengths for distance and near vision. Please contact your local optician, who can take the necessary measurements. Simply order your MANTI MANTI glasses without strength and the rest will happen at the shop around the corner. Or contact our MANTI MANTI partner optician and have the entire glasses made there.

That's what the opticians at MANTI MANTI do. We are real professionals.

We work with the traditional lens manufacturer Rodenstock. Your lenses come from a German premium manufacturer.

On our How it works pages we give you an overview of which lenses are suitable for which strengths. If you are unsure, we are happy to support you with all of our experience. So send us a message or book an appointment for a video consultation right away.

Unfortunately, this is not possible. Once a lens has been made, it cannot be changed.

Yes, your sunglasses lenses are available as MANTI Normalo and as MANTI Thinner in your strength in three beautiful tint colors. We are of course happy to install these in all MANTI MANTI glasses.

In the fitting box there is a glasses snake for measuring the PD/pupillary distance. Jonas explains how to use it in the video in the How it works section.
If the glasses snake doesn't work so well, you can simply download the free, English-language app GlassesOn from the App or Play Store.

Yes, you can find new glazing in the Service section. Simply enter the order number of your glasses order and select your favorite lenses. Then simply send the glasses to us and we will quickly send them back to you with fresh lenses.

Yes, if you need a prismatic correction or have an absolutely special request, simply buy the glasses without lenses and your local optician will help you with the right lenses.

Simply rinse under running water, please ensure that the temperature difference between the water and the glasses is not too great. If necessary, you can also use a little dishwashing liquid or hand soap. Then simply dry your lenses with a clean microfiber glasses cleaning cloth, which you will also find in your case.

Yes, every head and every face is different, so we offer our MANTI MANTI glasses in up to 3 different sizes. There is something for every head.

There are different ways to find the right size: Do you know your current size? Then you know that your new glasses may need to be a little bigger. Discover the glasses at our local partner opticians.

We do not recommend this. This is a try-on model and we would like to provide you with a brand new pair of glasses. So please send them back anyway and we will deliver your new MANTI MANTI glasses to you very quickly.

You can arrive using all usual means of transport:

• By car: We don't have our own parking lot at our store. With a bit of luck, you'll quickly find a spot either directly at our store or on one of the many side streets. Just be aware of the parking fees!
• Bus: The nearest bus stop is “Eppendorfer Weg (Ost)”. From there it's only a 5-minute walk to our place.
• Subway: Several subway stations are located near us: Hoheluftbrücke (12-minute walk), Eppendorfer Baum (9-minute walk), Klosterstern (15-minute walk).
• Bicycle: You can park conveniently right in front of our door.

Mon.: 2-4 pm, Tue.-Fri.: 10 am-6 pm, Sat.: 10 am-4 pm

There is a small step in front of our entrance door, but it can easily be overcome with a stroller, for example. The sales area is on the ground floor.

If you'd like to browse or need some advice, feel free to drop by without an appointment. However, please be prepared for a short wait if we're busy. You can also book an appointment online or by phone. If you need an eye test, an appointment is absolutely necessary. You can also book this online or by phone.

You can easily book an appointment online or feel free to call us. You can choose between an appointment for a consultation/purchase of glasses and an appointment for an eye test.

The eye test costs €39, but can be credited towards the purchase of glasses within 4 weeks.

The eye test will be performed by our optometrist, Nele. She studied optometry and therefore knows a great deal about eyes.

An eye test is a good idea if your child tells you they often see blurry images, or if you notice they frequently squint, have trouble seeing things clearly, or are losing interest in reading. Headaches can also be a sign if there's no other apparent cause. We can also perform a short, free vision check before a full eye test. This can give us an indication of whether an eye test would be beneficial.

No. Just drop by whenever it suits you.

If you simply want to browse or get some advice, you don't need to bring anything. If you'd like to buy glasses, we'll need your current prescription. This can be found on a prescription from your ophthalmologist or determined through an eye test at our store.

If your child has already been to the eye doctor or already wears glasses, it's always helpful to bring their old prescription. This gives us a starting point for the eye test and allows us to determine if their vision has changed.

We only accept card payments. We do not accept cash.

We offer sunglasses in various styles from the brands Soonice and hello hossy. In addition, any "normal" frame can be fitted with non-prescription sunglass lenses.

Of course! We've even set up a little corner where the siblings can keep themselves occupied while the eye test is being done or glasses are being chosen.

We love dogs. Therefore, you are of course welcome to bring your four-legged friend into the store.

Of course! Just bring the prescription with you and we'll explain everything.

The production time depends on what we need to order for the glasses. Generally, the glasses are ready within a week.

The prescription is valid for 28 days.

For children under 18, statutory health insurance usually covers the cost of basic lenses. Frames and additional services such as anti-reflective coating must be paid for privately.

We accept prescriptions for vision aids from statutory health insurance companies on-site and handle the billing with the insurance company for you. Part of the cost of the lenses is therefore covered by the health insurance. An important requirement is a prescription from an ophthalmologist that is no more than 28 days old.
It is also possible to bill our glasses to private health insurance companies, supplementary insurance companies and government assistance programs; we will gladly issue a corresponding invoice.

Unsere Anprobebox ist komplett kostenlos, du zahlst lediglich einen vergünstigten Versandtarif.

After about seven days we will remind you to send the box back. Please keep it with you for a maximum of 10 days. If something comes up, just let us know.

Yes, that is possible. You can then order the entire pair of glasses through your partner optician and we will take care of the rest.

No problem, just contact us and we will provide you with a replacement.

Wir empfehlen das nicht. Es handelt sich um ein Anprobemodell und wir wollen dich gerne mit einer brandneuen Brille ausstatten. Schick sie deshalb bitte trotzdem zurück und wir liefern dir ganz schnell deine neue MANTI MANTI Brille.
