Never Had Glasses So Worth the Money

By Ann B.

From now on, there is only one place that I will go to for glasses and lenses…  The Spectacle.  I told Wick that I wanted transitions lenses.  He immediately selected a pair of glasses that I initially thought were too “stylish” for me.  Gregor told me about the lenses that they used that could help my vision.  After some thought, I returned to their shop and tried on most of their glasses.  I was amazed that I selected the same pair that Wick initially selected for me.

I have had my glasses for a couple of months now and love them!  First, they look great…as regular glasses and as sunglasses.  Secondly, I CAN see better!  Not only are the lenses allowing better peripheral vision, they have improved my ability to drive at night!  After many visits to my ophthalmologist to see if night vision could be corrected and learning that it would just get worse, Gregor proved him wrong!

I have never had a pair of glasses so worth the money.. both to complement my features and for the improved vision!  Thank you Wick and Gregor!!!

These Guys Know Their Stuff

By John P.

Like everyone else responding in "The Feedback Booth" I had a most satisfying experience dealing with Gregor and Wick.  I traveled to The Spectacle from Chapel Hill in order to check out the Super Focus concept eyeglasses.  Though intriguing, this type of lens did not work for me, and I was sure I would end up needing a pair of special lenses just for computer work.  Gregor assured me that the new digital progressives were far superior to my ten-year-old progressives, and I would not need a second prescription just for the computer.  He was absolutely right!  

Then, Gregor brought me into the 21st Century fashion-wise.  Since the '60s, I had been wedded to my wire-rims, but Gregor put some contemporary rimless frames on me and my wife loved them -- made me look as young as she is.  These guys know their stuff.

I Could Not Be Happier With My New Eyeglasses

By K. House

 I went to The Spectacle at North Hills Mall expecting to simply fill a prescription for glasses, not knowing the delightful change that was in store for me. I am farsighted and was used to removing my glasses at night while driving, to avoid the glare from oncoming cars. When Wick Morgan, the owner of The Spectacle, told me I would no longer have to remove my glasses for nighttime driving, I was skeptical, but as it turned out, he was more than right! When the glasses were finished and I first put them on, I was astonished at how crystal clear everything looked. It was like not wearing glasses at all. Suddenly for the first time in years, I was seeing everything the way I used to see it, with no reflections or glare, and with perfect clarity, as if there were absolutely nothing between my eyes and the world. The difference is that these lenses are made digitally, and this advanced technology eliminates aberrations that occur in eyeglass lenses created with traditional eyeglass lens manufacturing tools and processes. I could not be happier with my new eyeglasses!

Love my new glasses!

 I recently purchased my first pair of glasses from the Spectacle.  Since I've never worn glasses before, I had to get used to the progressive lenses and Wick and Gregor were very helpful with that process.  And they are both experts at selecting the frames that look best on you. I get compliments on the frames every day!

The Best Eyewear Shop

 By John Briguglio

 The Spectacle is by far the best eyewear shop I have experienced in the 40 plus years I have been wearing eyeglasses.  Wick seems to know exactly the right style frame to suit any face and personality.  His first pick from their wide selection of high fashion frames was perfect.  Gregor made sure their new digital lenses were made precisely to suit my preferred field of vision.  The digital lenses provide the clearest vision and best bifocal progression I have experienced in the 15 years I have worn bifocals.  In effect I have a trifocal lense in the smallest lense I have ever worn, in both size and thickness.  The difference is truly amazing, and well worth the additional expense.  In short, I cannot say enough about the extraordinary products, customer service, and satisfying experience offered by Wick and Gregor at The Spectacle.

Digital Lenses Are Amazing

by Laurie M.

 The Spectacle is the only place to buy eyewear! Wick, the owner, is extremely knowledgable and a joy to work with. My husband, daughter and I have purchased prescription glasses from Wick and we are 100% satisfied. Wick is able to look at your face shape and pick out the right eyewear for you each and every time. His 'spectacles' are works of art. Wick also offers digital prescription lenses which are amazing...love them! They truly make a huge difference -the clarity is unbelievable! Definitely worth the money - your eyes are worth it!

Figuring Out Who the New Me Is

by Hugh S.

 I went to the Spectacle to get a new pair of glasses with my wife, and we were impressed by the selection of really well-designed and fashionable pieces.  When they were made and sent to me, I came to the conclusion that they were not only the best-feeling pair of glasses I ever had, they were also the best crafted pair of glasses I have ever had.  I am grateful for the upgrade in quality and service that I experienced with The Spectacle and though I am not looking forward to expense of getting new glasses again, I at least know where I am going to happily go, when that time arises

Highly, highly Recommended

by Jane S.

Wick, the owner, is great, so genuinely helpful and the glasses I bought are the best I've ever owned.  These are the first progressive lens I've had and I'm adjusting quickly.  It would be worth anyone's time to go in and look at the fabulous frames.  Highly, highly recommend!  

A Fabulous Experience

 I am an eyewear junky and have multiple pairs of glasses from these folks. Prior to the opening of he Spectacle, I would shop out of town. The service, fashion and creativity of The Spectacle is unmatched. Wide selection of brands and styles. They focus on finding a look which fits your style within your budget. They're not going to sell you glasses or sunglasses unless you're thrilled.

Raleigh is lucky to have a shop like this. A fabulous experience! Much fun.

Far Better Service

 By P Hewitt

 I visited The Spectacle in search of a pair of frames. This was my first pair of glasses, and the service was excellent. The Owner, Wick is great at helping pick out the perfect frames to fit your face. He is very personable and the customer service was far better than any other eye glass shop in the area. I highly recommend giving The Spectacle a chance if you are looking for some new frames or your first pair.‎

Highly Recommended

Wick and Gregor are not in it for the quick sale.  They want to establish a relationship with their customer, and will work patiently to assure your satisfaction.  When I came in with a vague idea of what I was looking for in a new frame, they immediately understood and picked out several flattering styles for me to consider.  The digital lenses are not just hype, either.  A quick comparison to my old eyeglasses reveals a huge difference in clarity.  In fact, I just ordered replacement lenses for my sunglasses.  Highly recommended!

I've Changed My Mind About Laser Eye Surgery

by Annette Wiggins

  When it was time to get new glasses, my first progressive lens, I went straight to the Spectacle. Not only did I get a gorgeous pair of new glasses and outstanding service, I was able to put my new glasses on and walk out of the shop without any transition period. The digital lens are that amazing! In fact, I didn't even know there was supposed to be a transition period with progressive lens. After a week in my new glasses, I realized I had to have another pair. I had a nice rimless frame from an old pair of glasses and brought them to Wick to see what he could do. In no time at all I had my second pair -- refurbished, beautifully finished, with crystal-clear clarity. I couldn't be happier! I had been considering laser surgery, but now that I see what's possible I'd rather just get new glasses at The Spectacle. Thanks, Wick!

Glad I Took the Leap

The Spectacle Is Just What the Doctor Ordered

by Sean M.

Everyone at the Spectacle has been very helpful with my recent eyewear purchase. I live in Greensboro and stopped by the store while in the area and glad I stumbled upon them. Hip but very cool and professional; just what the doctor ordered!

The Spectacle-An Awesome Experience

Reviewed by Lauren R.

My husband bought a new pair of glasses from The Spectacle and it was an awesome experience. Wick, the owner, took a very personalized approach and made sure to recommend frames that complimented my husband. He was honest in his assessment of how the frames looked and didn't try to pressure us into uber-expensive glasses that didn't look good. The quality of the frames are great, the customer service is excellent, and the business is locally-owned (always a plus). Glasses were made QUICKLY and the workmanship is solid. We highly recommend The Spectacle!
