I purchased two pair of glasses in May, 2012 and the quality of the frames( Prada & Vogue) and lens is excellent. I have been wearing glasses for over 40 years and the lens that I use to have in my glasses ( I will not name the brand but they are advertised on TV) don't even compare to the quality of lens I have now. Everything is so crystal clear. I use to take my glasses off sometimes at night when I drove because of the glare but that is not a problem now. I live in Simpsonville, SC and it was well worth the drive to Spartanburg, SC for the excellent customer service and care that I received. Spec's Optical is AWESOME!!!

Went in for replacement glasses. Wanted something lighter. I was shown the ZeroG frames, which are so light you can hardly feel them. Before I could ask about lens weight for my perscription Steve was explaing about the Hoya lens and its superior optical clarity and lightweight. Have received my glasses, their fit and weight is just what I wanted. My vision is crystal clear with these lenses, much better than the old pair. Wore them last Sunday to play golf, glasses felt great, no slipping or sliding around, made it much easier to find my ball in the woods. Wish I could say it also fixes your golf swing but I guess thats asking a bit much. Liked these glasses so much I've ordered a pair of sunglasses also. Great, Professional service and a quality product.

This was the first time someone got my glasses right the first time! I have a very difficult prescription and usually have to go through two or three remakes. Steve was wonderful and very helpful. I am telling all of my friends about Spec's Optical and Steve!

Awesome environment!

I can safely say without hyperbole, the glasses I got from Steve are the best I've ever worn in my life. Previously, I had settled with bargain glasses, and that was certainly a mistake! As it turned out, the glasses I had been wearing for the last two years had the focal point set too low, and Steve identified that flaw. Thanks to his expertise, the neck pain I had been experiencing due to tilting my head to see clearly is gone completely! The service was also great; Steve provides a personal level of service that you don't get at the big chain stores. All in all, this is the best optics shop that I know of, and I will gladly recommend all of my friends here!

I was looking for an eye glass place and we just happen upon this place. As we walked in the owner made us feel at home. He told us they didn't do exams on site but he was very generous to set me up with a eye doctor he knew. The same day I went to the eye doctor and then back to Specs. Well I thought it was going to cost me a fortune, but to my surprise it did not. The owner helped me to pick out glasses that were just right for me. He explained everything so easily to understand. He even gave us a discount. He had my glasses by the next morning. I was wowed! I have never received such great and kind and helpful service before then i did the day I walked into Specs. I recommend this place to everyone. It was very affordable and friendly and very very well worth it! Will be using this place forever!

Fast, friendly and very knowledgeable! Steven informed me about different options of lenses by asking what i wanted and was looking for and then pointed me in the right direction. This was my first pair of progressive lenses and boy did he deliver. He had clear predictions as to what i would be facing by having to get used to progressives. Due to the expert measuring up front they were a perfect fit and took very little time getting used to them. Ontop of the professional salesmanship he offers warranties on his products that are double that of the competition so you can get that new eyewear without the constant worry for the future just in case something "DOES" happen! I highly recommend this optician for all your optical needs!

I got a great set of Hoya frameless spectacles. It's like wearing nothing. I had some repair issues - my fault - twice. The guarantee and repair policy is no nonsense. Buy with confidence. The service Steve gives is top notch. I will purchase my next spectacles here. February 2016 I bought a new pair of Zero G's from Spec's. The lenses are great and the frame is light and virtually indestructible. Steve's customer service is excellent.

I am amazed at how much better I can see with these lenses. Clear. Crisp. Better than any lens I have ever had. Service was fast, too. Steve is really excited about his business and the difference he can make. A great experience to do business with the local owner.

Steve and Gwen are the best. I purchased my last pair of glasses from Carolina Vision 3 years ago before the warranty was up I had to replace the lenses. And once again my lenses are scratched and peeling. I called Steve and the next day went in. The boutique atmosphere is so welcoming. The hours are awesome because you don't have to miss work, I was in and out of there in less than 1 hour. I purchased new frames, lenses and sunglasses for the price of my 1 pair from Carolina Vision. Please call them, go experience it for yourself, I promise you won't be disappointed. They are awesome. Thank you Steve and Gwen. Blessings to you and on your business. Carla

We went in to see Steve not knowing what the outcome would be since never having tri focals let alone any bi focal glasses in my life. I fought it till the end fearing that wearing any bi or tri focal glasses would diminish any chances of seeing like anyone else on the street. Well Steve taught me that not only would I be able to see, but able to see crystal clear like I should. Steve did not lie about anything and my vision is so much better then I could have ever imagined. He advised me that the HOYA lens would do the trick for me and having a -8.75 prescription I can see better now then in years past! Thanks Steve!

I got my first pair of glasses last year from Spec's and I absolutely love them! The Prada frames are so cute and its amazing how much clearer I see now. I recently got a pair of prescription Ray Ban's that are perfect. Steve also helped my mom pick out a great pair of Tory Burch eyeglasses that are her new favorite pair. I recommend anyone looking for eye glasses or sunglasses to check out Specs!

Came in here with an eye emergency. Needed glasses asap, since I didn't have a backup pair. He hooked me up that same day. Had my eye exam the very next business day. Glasses are affordable and quality of frames and lens are beyond compare. Great customer service!

I have lived in Spartanburg many years. I prefer to spend my money with local businesses who really understand what quality and customer service is all about. Recently my vision prescription changed dramatically and I was also encouraged by my optometrist to change to a new frame that could be easily adjusted and with better clarity. My old prescription used Kodak progressive lens and lightweight Silhouette (sp) frames from another large family provider. I spent 2-3 days on the web doing detailed research on progressive lenses and who makes the best, the various quality levels, and who sells what. I found that the pricing to some is akin to selling used cars...not very reassuring. After many many web searches and numerous phone calls I discovered that Hoya makes superior optical lenses for a variety of applications. Hoya sells worldwide but manufacturers in the U.S. and has a large lab in Greenville. They also have specific high quality optical providers throughout the upstate. Specs Optical in Spartanburg, owned by Steve Pitman is one. Previously I had also used Varilux Comfort progressive lens. They are sold by a high percentage of opticians in our area. Pricing for Varilux Comfort lenses was all over the chart, from a high of $1,300 at Lenscrafters, no I'm not kidding you, in fact I called them twice to verify the price, to lower prices from Alva Pack, Wilkins, Costco, Sam's Club, etc.. The add-ons such a scratch coating and UV protection can add an additional $100 plus onto the lens price. I called Specs Optical and talked to Steve late one afternoon. I told him of my objective and intricate research and listened to his advice. I was impressed with his care, concern and most importantly knowledge. He explained the huge quality difference between Hoya progressive lenses and the many other types of progressive lenses available. I went to his store on Hyw. 9 the next day with my prescription in hand. I needed a very durable frame since I have Parkinson's disease. After about 45 minutes the right Hoya progressive lens and a very good frame were purchased at a price point way below my budget. After a few days I went back and got fitted. The Hoya lens are crystal clear, with no distortion. They have UV protection and scratch resistance built in at no additional cost. The fitting process was explained in detail. It felt so good to be treated with respect This has been a fairly long review, however it just starts to scratch the surface of how much my new lenses and frames have enhanced my quality of life. I highly recommend Steve and Specs Optical.
