Fait Maison Opticians

Fait Maison Opticians is an eyewear shop on Constitution Street in Mosta, in the middle of the island. Since opening in 2020 it has built up a collection of more than 1,000 optical glasses and sunglasses from designer and luxury houses, and it pairs that range with eye exams and attentive after-sales care. For UK visitors and residents who want something more distinctive than a high-street frame, it is a shop to put on your list.

It appears in our directory of opticians in Malta, along with other practices across the island that you can compare.

The brands on the shelves

The collection spans fashion and luxury labels, including Jimmy Choo, Dolce & Gabbana, Versace, Carolina Herrera, DSquared2, Moschino, Tom Ford, Karl Lagerfeld, Tommy Hilfiger, Marc Jacobs, Fendi, Philipp Plein, Roberto Cavalli, Salvatore Ferragamo, ETRO, Yves Saint Laurent, Gucci, Maybach, DITA, Chopard, Cazal and Balmain. Hugo Boss and Love Moschino are also stocked.

The shop has separate pages on its website for its luxury lines and its gallery, and its approach is a personal one: each customer is helped to choose a frame that suits their face, their prescription and their taste, rather than being handed a catalogue. If you are looking for sunglasses, the Malta weather guide gives a good idea of how bright the sun gets through the year.

Eye exams and lenses

Eye exams can be booked through the shop's online booking page. The shop has offered a free eye exam together with a discount of 20 percent on all frames, as well as offers on varifocal lenses, so ask which promotions are running when you enquire. This page gives no medical advice; the shop can tell you who carries out the exam and what it covers.

Varifocal lenses, which combine several strengths in one lens, are a part of the business, and they suit people who need to see clearly at several distances without changing glasses. Ask the shop which lens options it can supply for your prescription, how long an order will take and what the after-sales arrangements are. Whatever you choose, the aim is a pair that fits well and that you will be happy to wear every day. If you are only in Malta for a short stay, it is sensible to say so when you enquire, so the shop can advise on timing.

After-sales care and visiting Mosta

The shop puts weight on what happens after the sale, and customer satisfaction is the principle the business is built on. Return visits for adjustments and questions are part of the service, which suits people who live nearby, and the shop's personalised approach means the aim is a pair that works for your face and daily routine rather than a quick sale. Customers who are in Malta for a holiday or a trial period can ask how aftercare would work if they return home to the UK.

Mosta is close to the old capital: our Mdina guide covers the nearby towns of Rabat and Mdina, and the Valletta guide and the Three Cities guide cover the harbour area.
