I was extremely impressed. I've been shopping around for a new eye place and decided to just walk in and see what it was like. Even with no appointment, or promise of an appointment, the cheery woman at the front desk Megan was extremely friendly and helped me out and answer my questions. Historically, other optical offices have been ridiculously pushy when I try to talk to them and would ask me to schedule an appointment over and over instead of answer my questions, but Megan was nothing but extremely helpful and delightful. Even without the promise of a future appointment, she referred me to an optician named James, who answered even more of my questions. I've got some tricky issues that make finding glasses that work for me really difficult, but James helped me navigate those issues and took a lot of time out to help me find frames that I'm actually excited to try out. Still even without scheduling an appointment, Megan went out of her way and made a file for me and marked down all the frames I was interested in. In short: I've found my new vision care center. Me and my poor, dry eyes are excited to come back for my yearly exams and for my glasses and contacts needs. read more

I had an amazing experience with Spectacle both during my eye appointment with Dr. Anderson and working with Jessica to look at frames. I moved to Portland from the east coast 3 months ago and am in the process of finding all new doctors - Dr. Anderson made the transition so much easier with his kind + calm nature. He explained everything throughout the appointment and even had some fancy tool that eliminated the need for blowing air into my eyes (yes!) I will definitely be back to see him when it's time to update my prescription. The office and showroom are a great space - very bright, clean, modern and comfortable. Jessica was awesome to work with and so helpful in working out costs and insurance information. She was also super knowledgable/honest about frames that weren't the best look for my face. I really appreciated that transparency! I'm so glad I found Spectacle and look forward to many more visits in the future. Would recommend to anyone looking for high-end frames, sunglasses, and/or an eye appointment! read more

I has a great experience with the exceptional customer attention and professionism of Gustavo anf Jessica yesterday. Glad I chose them over other bigger shops read more

I recently had my first appointment with Spectacle, and they were fantastic! I arrived to appointment a few minutes early, and they were able to see me right away. The technician and doctor were both very friendly and accommodating. David in the front helped me pick out a blue pair of glasses, and they are my favorite pair I've ever had! I've gotten plenty of compliments on my new frames. I'll definitely be back! read more

This place is the they helped me get some busted glasses fitted to my face when Armani who sold them to me was literally the worst about it. They sell a ton of local, well made frames that are gorgeous and unique. Definitely had a great experience read more

I was planning to shop around and finally invest on quality designer glasses but Spectacle became my first and only stop because of Gustavo. All his frame recommendations really helped me decide on the perfect pair. I'm really impressed with the customer service here. I'm already thinking about the next pair to buy from them! read more

Spectacle is fantastic. Hands down best experience I've had with an optometrist. Dr. Schmitt was very personable and very thorough with the exam. He did a great job explaining everything and offering tips for general eye health. All members of the staff were friendly and Jennifer was very helpful in assisting with frame selection. Highly recommend! read more

Izzy was very helpful in scheduling me very last minute for an eye exam. The office treats you like family and is very beautiful and clean from the inside. Dr. Anderson enjoys what he does and it shows. Can't recommend this place enough. I went in for contacts but I could see that they had very stylish eyewear on display. The office also had what seemed to be consultants that can help you find a specific frame you wanted to buy. When it came to the eye exam, this place had all machines necessary to check for my eye health and vision strength. The location is also very convenient. It's a block away from the streetcar stop! read more

Hip office with the nicest staff and great eye doctors. I was instantly drawn to the aesthetic but the service is just as great!

Super friendly staff. Pretty spendy but seemingly high quality with great service. If you have the budget and are looking for something a little different, they're definitely your place! I was shown mid range frames which were almost 400, so be ready to spend! read more

This was my first time visiting and having an appointment at Spectacle and I was so amaze from the help they have provided me. Elora was really helpful with paperworks and for picking out the right frames that will match my style. I love how she was so detailed in helping me understand the background behind the frames and its specificity. I may have found my new favorite clinic! :) read more

I was amazed to see that this place had a full 5 star review with so many reviewers both on yelp and google reviews. But totally lived up to the hype. Everyone is so nice!!! James was the person who helped me with choosing my glasses and he was awesome and personable. I have a small head/face so usually I don't get a lot of options. BUT HERE THEY GAVE ME LITERALLY 30!!!!!! And they were all very cool with a range of interesting technology and accessories. I'm pretty sure they had even more options since I was only looking for circular. They even gave me a blue blocking cover for my glasses to help with looking at computers. They were so great I low key wish I also got a eye exam just so I can experience that too. Can't wait to get my glasses! read more

My wife and I waited 10 minutes in front of store for our 930am appointment and no one bothered to help us. In a time of economic crisis I am surprised how little the store staff cares about patients. Office staff saw us and did not even acknowledge us. read more

I have really bad eyesight so I am always pretty apprehensive about seeing a new optometrist. I loved my experience at spectacle. I felt welcomed and safe as soon as I walked in (shout out to korin) I loved how thorough my exam was with Dr. swihart he really took his time with me to make sure I was comfortable with my prescription. After the exam, Jessica who was so friendly helped me pick out my dream frame. Overall, I love this place and I hope to see them for many years moving forward. read more

Clean store, quality frames to choose from. Let me play around with goofy German frames. Gustavo took his time to help me pick the frames right for me. Dr. Ngo took her time with me during my appointment and did an excellent job helping me find my most natural prescription read more

I have been seeing Dr. Sagina O'Halloran for years and she is the best. Extremely attentive, relatable, kind, empathetic, and thorough. The office is clean, professional, and follows covid safety protocols which I really appreciated. 100% recommend this practice. read more

The second time I went in to look at the 2 pairs of glasses I had chosen, they were out of both. It took them a long time to figure this out. The salesman was condescending and not at all helpful. Very disappointing. I went down the block and had a great store experience. read more

I referred my patient over there from urgent care for treatment of an acute problem that is out of my scope. They squeezed her in the same day and even called me back with the diagnosis and treatment plan. The whole process was seamless! Thank you! read more

Dr. Schmitt was extremely nice. He explained to me what some causes to my migraines may be, and gave me a lot of helpful tips. Hector was very patient and helpful with choosing my new frames. I can honestly say this was my best experience at an optometrist in the 15+ years I've been wearing glasses. read more

Without a doubt; this is the best experience I've ever had with an optometrist office. The staff is amazing - so friendly and sweet. Dr. Schmitt is genuine, funny and adorable. He really takes his time with you and explains everything thoroughly. Every time I go I'm treated so well. If you're looking for new glasses, contacts or just an exam - GO HERE! read more

Fabulous selection and terrific, friendly, knowledgeable staff! You've earned customers for life, Hector!

They made me feel like I was the only one there, everything was well explained, they taught me to take better care of my eyes, explained my insurance benefits, and got me an even better prescription than I previously had. I came not expecting to get glasses but they were so helpful and found me the perfect pair. I finally feel current and confident in my glasses. Thank you! read more

I absolutely adore this place. It is so clean and the staff is awesome. Dr. Schmidt listens to your concerns and explains everything, super friendly. Normally I feel rushed in doctors offices but I felt like I could hang out all day. I will recommend to everyone! read more

Fantastic experience from the moment I stepped in to when I left. Shout outs to Elora, Veronica, and Dr. Anderson for being super nice and helpful! read more

I am so happy I found Spectacle while searching for an eye clinic using my VSP coverage! It was a wonderful experience all around, from the pre-exam optometric testing done with Veronica (using technologically advanced machines that can avoid dilation for most patients) through sitting down with Hector to browse frames that fit both my personality and face. Veronica was friendly, patient and fun! It was a pleasure going through optical imaging and the other sometimes tedious testing with her. I then met with Dr., Anderson, who was extremely patient, helpful and professional in listening to all of my vision history, attending to my concerns, and prescribing a set of lenses that would accommodate my needs with a new job and some odd visual quirks of my particular set of eyes. He was attentive and kind, even at the end of a long day with a medical emergency delaying all of his afternoon visits. Hector was very kind about my indecisiveness and helped me choose frames that fit my personality and need for uniqueness. I have some special sensitivities to wearing glasses and seeing the frames or the blurry world outside my central vision; and he was extremely knowledgeable and helpful guiding me toward frames that would minimize those issues for me. Additionally, each paying customer provides an exam and pair of glasses for someone in need in the Portland area; and you're even encouraged to nominate someone specific if you desire. It's a really nice bonus to what might be a pretty standard medical encounter. All in all, it was a great experience and I highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for high quality eye care as well as stylish frames and a caring, patient staff. read more

Great selection of modern frames for eyeglasses, including Lindberg eyewear. Hector was very helpful and thorough during the frame and lense selection and fitting process. The lenses that came back from the lab initially didn't pass Hector's review and he sent them back. His transparency and communication during the entire process was exceptional. read more

My husband and I were looking for a local eye doctor close to home. We happened upon Spectacle and are so glad we did. Hector was very helpful in explaining our plan benefits and helping us use them at full potential. Dr. Schmitt was great and was able to answer questions we had. I would highly recommend this office for anyone's eye care needs. read more

Whenever I come to Spectacle, Elora is always there ready to help me! She's really patient especially when I had my kids with me and super friendly. The whole staff there is really nice and genuine. They're about helping you without being pushy. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Schmitt for a few years but this was my first visit to his new office near NW 23rd. His modern equipement make the exam a breeze! I always would dread having my eyes dialated and the "eye puff test"...with Dr. Schmitt's new equipment there was no discomfort or hassel of dialated eyes. Dr. Schmitt is very personable and takes away any angst you might have over visiting the optometrist. Spectacle also has a great selection of frames. They carry a number of brands, but one that caught my eye was SPX-PDX. Its a local line and Dr. Schmitt donates a portion of that lines sales to local charities...how cool is that? I highly recommend a visit to Dr. Schmitt and Spectacle. read more

I could not be more excited that I decided to try this place out! I had no qualms with my old optometrist but just wanted to try a change and I am SO GLAD I DID! The staff is super friendly the office is clean, sleek, and modern. The check in was easy. The assistant explained every step of the way during my initial eye tests. Which were more advanced than my previous office (although they could be standard). And then the best part of the whole experience, Dr. Schmitt, I can't rave enough about him. He's attentive, incredibly warm, truly friendly, and he genuinely cares. He's informative, educational, and gave me so many options to fit my needs. From financially to convenience and comfort of product, he covered it all. I never felt rushed or that I wasn't his primary concern and his only concern while I was in his chair. What a true gem! read more

This is the best eye store in all Portland or the world!! So creative and professional. Jessica who helped me to get the perfect eye glasses was fantastic. I have been to many eye stores in my life time. This is the best one!! read more

I went in to see Dr. Schmitt a few weeks ago, as I haven't had a proper eye exam in several years. The experience was professional and thorough, and they have the latest in optometric equipment. The staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and helped me choose from a great variety of frame choices. I would happily recommend Spectacle to anyone. read more

These guys are amazing. I had a ripped contact and needed an emergency replacement, pronto. Hector was so nice that he didn't even charge me for the lens. I'm from out of town, but if I lived in Portland, this would be my optitian for life. read more

Sweet experience at Spectacle thanks to the darling Elora! Girl is full of knowledge and great great style. Super excited to rock my new specs Thank you thank you! read more

Look no further for great glasses and eye exam. I watched this business go in and was curious to see their glasses selection. I went in to browse and ended up getting an eye exam and two pairs of glasses. Dr. Schmitt and his assistant Hectar are incredibly professional and very welcoming. This was such an incredible experience. I will recommend Spectacle to all my friends and family because of the way I was treated and the high level of professional excellence they provided. Thanks guys, keep up the great work!! read more

I recently went to Spectacle for an eye exam and new glasses. Dr. Schmitt was very nice, thorough and helpful! Hector helped me pick out some stylish new frame and I picked them up and love them!!! First off...I can see better than ever. So there's that endorsement. Best thing about this experience. I will definitely go back when its time again. read more

I recently bought a new pair of eyeglasses at Spectacle's Beaverton location. Great experience all around! They have a great selection of unique glasses. There were probably twenty different frames I liked and needed to narrow down to only one. Jessica was extremely helpful in helping me find the perfect pair! read more

I recently went in for an eye appointment and the experience was easy going and I really enjoyed my time there. Dr Schmitt was helpful and the appointment was over before I knew it. He also was very helpful when selecting the right contacts for me. Elora and Hector were awesome as well, very welcoming from the start and made the process painless. Definitely check the place out! read more

Very professional and helpful staff that are not pushy. Dr. Schmidt was really funny and personable. They have frames from all ends of the price spectrum -- 200 bucks or so to around a 1000. They were also willing to work with me when it came to insurance issues, too. I've been to quite a few optometrists and none have really stood out, except for this visit. read more

Had my eye exam here today and was thoroughly impressed. The whole staff was very professional but at the same time friendly. Every aspect of the eye exam was explained clearly to me and they were very upfront about the whole process. Dr. Schmitt is extremely knowledgeable and does a great job explaining the results in a way that you can fully understand it. He also gives great tips on taking care of vision. Overall, a great experience. They also have really dope brands that you don't find at most stores, definitely worth checking out! read more
