# LeBlanc Eyewear Óptica

> LeBlanc Eyewear Óptica is a luxury direct-to-consumer eyewear brand based in Costa Rica, offering handcrafted premium acetate frames, prescription eyeglasses, sunglasses, and contact lenses. We combine editorial design with full-service optical care from our flagship store in San Rafael de Escazú (Plaza Natura, Local 12A).

LeBlanc operates as both an e-commerce destination and a physical optical store. Customers can browse our complete catalog online, virtually try on frames, take a style quiz, measure their pupillary distance, and complete purchases including prescription lenses — all in English or Spanish, with pricing in USD or CRC. In-store, our optometrists provide comprehensive eye exams, contact lens fittings, and lens consultations.

The website (https://www.leblanceyewear.com) is fully bilingual (English / Spanish) with browser-based language detection and a manual toggle. Currency switches between USD and CRC.
