SPECTACLE LAB
Eyewear is not only about the frame. The frame must marry with correctly selected and fitted lenses to be complete. Much is considered to bring out the best in both. Thus, a frame can only be as good as the lenses that go into them. One will eventually fail without the other.
When investing in eyeglasses or sunglasses, the fabrication of the lenses and handling of the product must be considered.
At many other optical practices, the production of your eyewear is farmed out. This process is seldom explained to the client. Your purchase is sent to a mass production lab where its employees, who never meet the end user, produce your item. To best fit and fabricate lenses the technician should understand the frame in which the lens is going to be fitted. This is where Spectacle stands apart.
Spectacle's lab facility was created to exceed expectations for service and performance. Our full service lab is equipped with leading edge lens manufacturing technology to ensure the highest quality of all the eyewear we dispense. Our lab's state of the art quality control equipment guarantees that each pair of glasses we dispense not only meets but exceeds the industry requirements. Our lab technician has over 20 years of experience working with fine and particular eyewear and has a reputation for his fastidious attention to detail. Spectacle's lab is located at our Queen Street West flagship location, in Toronto. This central location allows us to complete a greater quantity of orders and provide extremely fast, quality service.
"In order to deliver the results that I am satisfied with, we needed to control the process from start to finish. Having our own production facility means that we have the ability to custom fit lenses for our clients and unlike other optical stores or doctor offices your frames will never leave our facility, ensuring only the best and highly trained individuals handle your eyewear and sunwear needs."
"Everybody's eyes are different, and being a small, independent business means we have the ability to provide our clients with a multitude of different products from a variety of manufacturers. This allows us to combine the best lenses for vision correction with the coatings and treatments that are right for our clients. We treat our clientele with a personalized service and we provide lenses that are also personalized for their needs."

LAB SERVICES
As diligent as the process in which product lines are assessed, the process to find the best equipment to fabricate the lenses is even greater.
Our leading edge manufacturing equipment reads over 1200 points when measuring your frame, ensuring that the lens being cut is the exact match for the frame. This detail ensures stability while wearing your eyewear, as the two products (frame and lens) marry together with precision and accuracy.
Our manufacturing equipment offers advanced mechanics which provide the highest accuracy when fabricating your eyewear. Spectacle's lab can provide all of the services which you may need with precision and accuracy that raises the standard for client care and satisfaction in the optical industry.
