Why Choose Spectacle?
Better Tech Means Better Vision
Are you tired of the eye drops, air puffs, and blurry vision that come with most eye exams? Good news! We have invested heavily in eye exam technology that allows us to examine your vision and eye health in a much more thorough yet non-invasive manner. We are now able to see threats to vision and potential symptoms coming long before it becomes more difficult to manage. We have found that preventative and natural remedies protect our most precious sense and keep your quality of life right where you want it.
Doctors Who Spend Time With You
Not only are our doctors passionate about protecting and sharpening your vision, but they are able to spend twice as much time with you due to our intentionally longer exam times. By carefully educating you about your eye health and working with you to create tailored optical and medical solutions, you will not only walk away from your exam with a better understanding of your eyes but you will also be better equipped to then advocate for yourself. Our doctors have the experience and training to handle eye and vision issues both big and small.
Frame and Lens Expertise
Our glasses philosophy is simple. Eyewear should not be mass-produced. The voice of each eyewear designer should be distinct and speak to you as you seek out and select their meticulously crafted designs. As a local optical shop, we are proud to partner with only the best optical labs such as Hoya and Zeiss. If you can dream it, our skillful and attentive opticians can help you create it. Our modern day visual demands are as diverse as the human race. We love the challenge of helping people find the frame and lens combinations that excite and clarify the world around you.
