Alright I may be biased when it comes to Specs & Specs Optical because I worked there almost 5 years ago during the summer of 2004, but this is THE PLACE for glasses and sunglasses.
When I first stepped into this store, I was blown over by the HUGE selection of frames and shades - both high-end designers and cool individual frame artists.
Luckily it made easier for me to find frames and shades for customers in search of a new set of frames and to find items I loved to buy with my discount!
Specs & Specs carries all of the top designer brands, such as Chanel, Ralph Lauren, Giorgio, Prada, etc. As well, the store has some funky brands such as OGI (I am currently wearing my OGI glasses as I write this).
On top of that, the store has all of the latest in designer sunglasses. Luckily these shades range in price so it is friendly to all crowds.
In addition, all staff are trained there to adjust glasses and help out customers who walked through the door.
And the optician/owner, John, is a really friendly guy!
Overall this place is great when you want as much options as possible when picking out such an important item as a pair of glasses.
No wonder a ton of celebrities have bought items from there when they are venturing around the Queen Street West Area! (Check out the store's wall of celebrity autographed photos)
