Specs Optical

have been going to specs for years now, through several pairs of glasses. broke my frames in an accident in NYC a few years ago... A call to the store, and the owner John was giving me directions to the places he trusted to fix them up, since the frames were quite rare. Really above and beyond. They've got a great selection, and I've always been happy with my lenses....I've never gotten them thinner, and I've got a prescription that only gets worse with time. Simply, the best high-end glasses shop, period. Pros: dedicated, helpful, great selection more

My wife and I discovered Specs last year, and we both love the place! She went from being frustrated that she needed glasses to looking forward to finding the next pair of fun and funky frames. (She's now found 8 pair and couldn't be happier to wear glasses!) I'm up to four new pair myself, and am still amazed by how many compliments I get when I'm out and about. \r \r We've traveled to quite a few different states lately, and get asked all the time ""where did you get those glasses?"". The only time I've seen someone else with the same pair was on a return visit to Specs, when the owner was wearing the same frames as me. Yes, they're that unique!\r \r The owner, opticians, and optometrist are all exceptional. Have you ever had an eye exam where you've been taken out on the sidewalk to see which prescrption make the stop sign across the street look sharper? The opticians do a remarkable job of suggesting frames and finding styles that work well on your face.\r \r Bottom line: if you need glasses, go to Specs! (If not, go there for one of a kind sunglasses!) Pros: Fun atmosphere, great opticians and optometrist, awesome limited edition frames. Cons: Addiction - you'll want more and more! :-) more
