ALIV stores craft prescription glasses — with single vision, progressive, office and driving lenses — fit children’s myopia control lenses Essilor Stellest, HOYA MiYOSMART and MyoFocus, run eye exams and fit contact lenses, including multifocal and toric, with an in-store trial and handling training. Express delivery across Astana and Almaty takes 15 to 90 minutes; delivery covers all of Kazakhstan.
Custom prescription glasses
ALIV stores in Astana and Almaty craft prescription glasses — from everyday single vision to complex progressive lenses.
The frame is chosen for your face shape — together with a consultant-stylist, no pressure. The lenses are chosen for the task:
Progressive lenses
One pair for every distance — from a book to the road, with no visible zone line. Individual fitting measurements are taken in store; we help with adaptation during the first weeks.
Office lenses
Working distances from the monitor to the person across the desk (roughly 40 cm to 4 m). They take the strain off your eyes if you spend 8 or more hours a day at a screen.
Driving lenses
Enhanced contrast and anti-glare coatings: less dazzle from headlights and street lights at dusk and at night.
Frames: Max Mara, Tommy Hilfiger, MAX&Co., Ana Hickmann, Silhouette, BOSS, Einar, Diverso, Bulget, Polaroid, Champion, Seventh Street, Enni Marco.
Spectacle lenses: Essilor, Hoya, Seiko, Shamir, Tokai, Gross Optic.
Myopia control for children
ALIV fits children’s glasses with myopia control lenses — Essilor Stellest, HOYA MiYOSMART and MyoFocus — in Astana and Almaty.
These lenses do not cure myopia — they slow its progression while the child is growing. According to a two-year Essilor clinical study, Stellest lenses slow myopia progression by 67% on average compared to regular single vision lenses — when worn at least 12 hours a day. Fitting follows an eye exam; the wearing schedule and follow-up visits are discussed in store.
Contact lenses
ALIV delivers contact lenses across Kazakhstan; in Astana and Almaty express delivery takes 15 to 90 minutes, free on orders from 7 000 ₸.
Daily and planned-replacement lenses: Acuvue, Air Optix, Biofinity, Miru, Precision, Dailies.
Complex lens fitting in store
Multifocal lenses (near and distance vision in one pair — usually relevant after 40–45) and toric lenses (for astigmatism) are fitted in person: an eye exam, a trial pair, an on-eye fit assessment, and training in insertion and removal.
Replacement reminder
The free lens replacement tracker in the ALIV app reminds you when it’s time to change your pair. No paid tiers.
Eye exams
ALIV stores in Astana and Almaty offer eye exams with a prescription for glasses or contact lenses.
We explain the results in plain language — what has changed and what to do about it, no pressure — for children as well. Book via WhatsApp or in store.
Sunglasses
ALIV carries sunglasses, including prescription ones — tinted lenses are made to your prescription.
Manifesto
Twelve years ago we opened our first optical store in Astana. Much has changed since. One thing has not — people come to us to see the world better.
Over time we understood: they come for something more. They choose a frame not only because it is comfortable. They choose it to be noticed. To have a look of their own. A character of their own.
Vision is two things at once. The way you look at the world. And the way the world looks at you.
That is why ALIV is more than an optical store. It is a place that helps you see — and be seen. Where things are explained in plain language. Where the consultant never pushes. Where a frame is chosen for your face, not “for the trend”.
We made care our profession. And your look our promise.
We are ALIV. Always Live In Vision.

Frequently asked questions
- Where can I get custom prescription glasses in Astana or Almaty?
- ALIV optical stores in Astana (36B Bukhar Zhyrau) and Almaty (35a Satpayev) craft prescription glasses: frame selection, fitting measurements and lens mounting — single vision, progressive, office and driving lenses.
- Can I buy Stellest lenses for children in Kazakhstan?
- Yes. ALIV fits and crafts children’s glasses with Essilor Stellest myopia control lenses in Astana and Almaty. Fitting follows an eye exam; HOYA MiYOSMART and MyoFocus are also available.
- Do you make glasses with progressive lenses?
- Yes, in both ALIV stores. Individual measurements are taken in person, and we help with adaptation to progressive lenses during the first weeks.
- How do office lenses differ from progressive ones?
