Optos Digital Imaging
At Luxe Eye and Wellness, we use advanced digital retinal imaging to evaluate the health of your eyes without the need for traditional dilation drops. Our optometry office in Old Town Alexandria offers Optomap wide angle retinal imaging, which captures a detailed view of the retina in seconds. This technology allows our doctors to screen for retinal conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and retinal tears while minimizing discomfort and avoiding the side effects of dilation. The imaging process lets patients see the back of their eyes just as the doctor does and is safe for children, adults, and pregnant patients seeking comprehensive eye exams in Alexandria VA.

Eyewear Designed Through Color and Art
Etnia Barcelona was founded as an independent eyewear brand in 2001, building on three generations of eyewear-making experience. Color and art are central to the brand’s identity, along with a strong connection to Barcelona — a city known for creativity, culture and unconventional design.
Rather than treating eyewear as something purely functional, Etnia Barcelona approaches a frame as a way to express personality. Its collections combine color, materials, craftsmanship and contemporary design to create eyewear with a recognizable point of view.
That philosophy makes Etnia Barcelona a natural fit for Luxe Eye & Wellness, where our optical boutique is intentionally curated for patients who appreciate eyewear with character.
Meet Chroma: The Art of Color
Chroma is Etnia Barcelona’s bold exploration of color at its fullest expression. The collection uses unexpected combinations, contrasting tones and dimensional details to create eyewear that feels energetic, sophisticated and unmistakably individual.
For patients who love color — or simply want a frame with more personality than a traditional neutral — Chroma offers a distinctive way to make eyewear part of your look.
Some Chroma designs also feature pronounced milling and subtle color transitions across the fronts and temples, adding depth and movement to the frame.
Find a Frame That Looks Like You
Choosing eyewear should feel personal. At Luxe, we take the time to help you find frames that fit your face, your prescription, your comfort preferences and your sense of style.
We can help you consider:
- Frame shape and proportion
- Color and how it works with your features and wardrobe
- Fit and everyday comfort
- Your prescription and lens requirements
- How bold or understated you want your eyewear to feel
- The way your frames fit into your everyday lifestyle
Whether you are drawn to an expressive Chroma frame or a more refined Etnia Barcelona design, our goal is to help you choose eyewear that feels intentional rather than simply available.
Premium Materials, Thoughtful Craftsmanship
Etnia Barcelona emphasizes quality throughout the design and production process. The brand designs its collections in Barcelona and uses premium materials chosen for comfort, durability and finish, including natural acetate. Frames are carefully produced and assembled with attention to detail.
For Luxe patients, that means the visual personality of the frame is supported by the practical considerations that matter every day: fit, comfort, lens compatibility and long-term wear.
