Motorsport heritage, born from the legendary Carrera Panamericana race.
Brand History
The Story of Carrera
Carrera launched in Austria in 1956, taking its name from the grueling Carrera Panamericana road race in Mexico, building its reputation on performance eyewear for drivers and pilots.
That motorsport DNA still defines Carrera today — bold, sporty frames with a retro-cool edge.

Carrera at Mississauga East Optical
We carry authentic Carrera frames and sunglasses at our East Mississauga boutique, sourced directly from authorized distributors rather than grey-market resellers. Every Carrera pair is checked by our licensed opticians before it goes on display.
We fit Carreraframes to your face shape and prescription in-house, with personalized adjustments included. Selection varies by season, so if you're coming from Mississauga, Etobicoke, Brampton, or Oakville specifically for Carrera, contact us to check current in-stock styles before you make the trip.
