    I've been wearing glasses since second grade (1973). I've had many eye exams during that time by ophthalmologists and optometrists. I've been going to Grand Spectacle for my exams and glasses for the last 5 years or so and could not be more pleased. Matt and Kyle are great to work with in selecting and purchasing glasses. Both know more about optics and frames than anyone I know. Dr. Wellnitz the optometrist gives eye exams that are the most thorough I have ever had. All three guys are very personable, professional and fun. Can't say enough great things about Grand Spectacle. I highly recommend!!!!!

    I recently purchased some glasses from a different vendor that I've been very unhappy with. The style I got was all wrong for me and the glass is slightly blurry on the sides. Even though I just spent the money on new glasses, I dislike what I bought enough to want to get a new pair... I had heard that Grand Spectacle had a nice selection so I thought I would give them a shot. Just coming out of Grand Spectacle now. What an awesome experience! So many frames and so much knowledge about eyewear! Everything he said was fascinating and very useful. I even learned about why the glass is blurry on the sides of the pair I have and what they do to ensure that doesn't happen with the ones they craft. And because they do most of their work in-house, they can customize all kinds of stuff! The new glasses I ordered are so perfect for me. I'm so excited! I recommend this place to anyone seeking a quality experience when shopping for eyewear. Very impressed with service, products, and knowledge of their craft. These folks are obviously very passionate about what they do and for the first time in my life, I am getting a pair of eye glasses that I love! Thank you Grand Spectacle!

    This is the first place we have ever gotten glasses that the lenses were right, from the first. Both my husband and I have somewhat complicated prescriptions, and I have a smaller face. As a result, getting the bifocals to line up never happened - until Grand Spectacle. Spend the money and get the custom lenses. You will not regret it. Also, I always have trouble finding frames. Always. The gentleman helping me walked over, picked up a pair, handed it to me - and it was EXACTLY the right pair for me. Wireless, multi-tone bows - perfect. I tried on a few others - came back to that first perfect pair. Also ask to see the magnetic clip-on sunglasses. I wear mine daily, where I was always misplacing my others. Do they support VSP - no. VSP is owned by Luxotica. Watch the 60 Minutes special on Luxotica and then you'll understand. This is truly an independent eyeglass shop - and we will definitely be repeat customers. (*Note in the comments - Below someone complains about the Spectacle Shoppe - that is NOT Grand Spectacle. This is a family owned, local business.)
