Like father like son

I think it's true when people say that great style runs in the family. I mean, check out Jason and Izzy!


When Jason was in the store picking up his new Anne et Valentin frame (what a cool shape!), his son, Izzy, put on some Julbo sunglasses and POW! Insta-cool. He's like a mini-James Dean!

How could we resist? With style like this, we just had to make Jason and Izzy our CUSTOMERS OF THE WEEK!

Congrats, guys! You're our Customers of the Week and our new style icons!

And a reminder--for the whole month of April, Eye Spy is celebrating a GREEN SCENE. If you ride your bike or the CTA to Eye Spy, you get 10% off a pair of Rx specs.

THANK YOU! CHICAGO READER BEST OF 2009!!!

Eye Spy Optical has been named the BEST EYEWEAR SHOP in the Chicago Reader's "Best of 2009" issue!!!!

THANK YOU for your votes!

Our fearless leader and owner assisting two lovely customers

Murphy still takes a nap in the store every now and then.

Eye Spy has been a part of Lincoln Avenue for more than 10 years! In that time we've been named by NEW CITY as the "Best Place to Get Eyewear" and we've been named the store with the "Best Designer Eyewear." And now, we can add the CHICAGO READER "Best of 2009" to our list of accolades. Gosh, Chicago, you're making us blush!

At Eye Spy we try to give you the best customer service possible. We love our frames and we want to share their special and unique features with you when you're choosing your new specs. It's about a whole lot more than liking a color.

When you walk into Eye Spy, we want you to feel like you're visiting a friend's house--a friend's house with awesome glasses everywhere!!!

It's about what shape fits your face. It's about what color will make your eyes shine! It's about the little details that are handcrafted onto each frame whether it be hand painted etching or frame designs inspired by Andy Warhol.

Our expert advice is only rivaled by that doled out on "What Not to Wear" (but, honestly, they've got nothing on us)

We also give you the best lenses on the market. We are always right on top of the latest technologies, making them available to you and increasing our own knowledge of what lenses and products will help you see clearly!

We always have time to explain the intricacies of lens options and coatings.

So, thank you thank you thank you, for supporting us and voting us as the BEST EYEWEAR SHOP IN CHICAGO!!! If there was a poll, we'd definitely vote you as the BEST CUSTOMERS ON EARTH!

Admiring her new panther frames, great choice!!!

New Julbo sunglasses for the cutie little muffin-cheeked cupcake kids in your life

Trying to get your kids to wear sunglasses can sometimes be a difficult task. But protecting those darling little eyes is important because kids spend so much time outside... so what's a parent to do?

Julbo has a line of sunglasses just for kids and toddlers in fun colors so your kids can actually look forward to rockin' their awesome shades in the sun. The toddler version even comes with a band to go around their little noggins for maximum security, there are no hinges to break, and there is no 'right-side up'. My daughter always ask for her sunglasses when she sees me putting mine on...what could be easier?!


All Julbo lenses are optical category 1, guaranteeing protection against UVA, B, and C radiation. Our Julbo's fit kids from ages 1 day to 10 years old.

Stop by Eye Spy with your bundle of joy and check out the new colors and styles we just got in for summertime fun! oh, and they make great presents too!!
