About us

The story of Linssikauppa

The online lens store was launched in 2022, and in 2024 it was named Linssikauppa.fi. Linssikauppa is owned by IXI Optics Oy (a subsidiary of IXI Eyewear Oy), a Finnish company in the optical industry.

We have been manufacturing high-quality eyeglass lenses in Finland for over 33 years. Our advanced lens laboratory in Lieto produces lenses for all vision needs—from single vision to progressive lenses and sunglasses.

Over the years, we noticed that there was no easy-to-use, clearly priced, and Finnish service available for purchasing just lenses. That’s why we decided to create Linssikauppa!

Whether your lenses are scratched or your vision has changed, there are many reasons to keep your old frames. By getting new lenses, you can give new life to well-fitting frames while maintaining your personal style. Ordering lenses only is also an eco-friendly choice—and you save the cost of new frames.

For these reasons, we wanted to offer an easy-to-use and reliable Finnish online store for everyone who wants to keep their frames.

Thank you for choosing high-quality, Finnish-made lenses and service!
