Eye Wares

The Face of Eyewear

Dr. Lauren Agnew, optometrist and owner behind Eye Wares, has built her reputation on a simple idea: exceptional care should feel personal—and look good, too. Through her dedication to patient experience and sharp eye for style, she has grown Eye Wares into a trusted name across the Greater New Orleans area, now spanning Uptown New Orleans, Old Metairie, Covington, and a brand-new location in Mandeville.

“As a doctor, my priority is always your eye health,” she says, “but glasses sit on your face every single day—so they should feel like *you*. Confident, comfortable, and a little bit fun.”

Dr. Agnew’s approach blends full-scope medical care with a curated, fashion-forward perspective. She treats a wide range of patients and conditions—because Eye Wares is, at its core, a medical practice—while also offering frames that elevate everyday life. From budget-friendly staples to exclusive collections you won’t find elsewhere in the area, every piece is hand-selected with intention.

Her commitment to innovation also includes advanced treatments like IPL therapy for dry eye, bringing real relief to patients who need it most.

Under her leadership, Eye Wares has become more than an optical—it’s a place where expertise, style, and service come together seamlessly.
