Dallas Green Shows Spectacle some Love!

Our new BFF, the talented Dallas Green of Alexisonfire and City and Colour is seeing things a little clearer after a visit to Spectacle's Yonge and Lawrence shop!

Chillin' at Spectacle with Casey, our furry optician-in-training.
Dallas had the crew at Spectacle turn his Ray Ban sunnies into awesome custom digitally-made Rx lenses.  Digital lenses are highly customized to your prescription and made specifically for your frame.  This results in lenses with minimal edge-distortion and noticeably clearer vision.

That's going to come in handy as Dallas kicks off the next tour with City and Colour - catch them next at Massey Hall on Feb 10th!

Whatever your vision needs, Spectacle's got you covered with unparalleled styles, service and lens solutions.    if you want the celebrity treatment, pay a visit to any of our three locations at Queen Street West, Yonge and Lawrence Park, and the Distillery District!

March of the Orgreens!

For fans of sleek and sexy titanium eyewear, we've got the style and attitude you've been looking for at Spectacle on Yonge Street!

Denmark-based design house Orgreen has built their reputation on vibrant colours and lightweight but exceptionally durable frames. From glossy polished colours to matte earth tones, the Orgreen collection includes laser-cut detailing and acetate combinations that have defined this dynamic line.


The all-titanium construction makes this men's shape, the Angus, both lightweight and tough as nails.

Taking design inspiration from sleek and fast fighter planes and racecars, Orgreen lives to help you kick your look into high-gear!


The "York," pictured here gives you the heavy, bold look of an acetate frame but maintains a light-weight, comfortable fit. Other pieces that feature unique acetate patterns include the Cornelius and the Storm.

The Hellcat is one of Orgreen's most distinct ladies frames, sexy and available in a wide range of colours it's a great example that a feminine frame doesn't always have to be the ol' fashion cat's eye!

All these shapes are in stock now at Spectacle on Yonge Street, north of Fairlawn Ave. Follow our obsession with Orgreen in our previous blogs here, and here!

Spectacle Is Best of The City


The uber intelligent folks at Toronto Life Magazine have come out with their annual "Best of The City" list and we are honored to be the only optical shop in town mentioned.

It was a vintage a-symetrical Cazal 0867 that caught the panel's eye and garnered us this most prestigious distinction, check out the frame in question below.....


With an unparalleled selection of both current and retro frames plus our total commitment to customer service we feel Spectacle is the best in Toronto and the country at what we do.


Thanks for the pub Toronto Life, Spectacle Loves You
