I love the look of chunky authentic Vintage Frames! We have a few select vintage frames left in our in-store stock at Eye Spy, but they won’t be around long and let me tell you, when then go, I’m gonna miss them!
See how cute?!
Good for me we also have Francis Klein in our lives. This line embraces the spirit of vintage frames with the construction techniques and materials of modern times:
Ok ok, and I wanted to share a picture of our hula display. Sometimes it’s just so fun to be a part of Eye Spy!!
So whether you want to go authentic with your vintage look, or if you want something a little stronger, stop on by!

This week our CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK is and Independence Day Special with TWO, that’s right, TWO CUSTOMERS OF THE WEEK!
Catherine and Sara came in to look at glasses together and each found an adorable frame to suit their energetic personalities! Catherine found a classic Francis Klein frame with rhinestones and a detail on the temples (sides) of the frame that is simply to. die. for.
**Meanwhile**
Sara was browsing the sunglasses and found a Lafont frame that fit her PERFECTLY! What a lucky day!
Two hot to handle.
Congratulations Sara and Catherine! You look awesome in your Francis Klein and Lafont frames!!!

This week it’s all in the family with our CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK, Lael ! In May, his wife, Eugenie, was named our Customer of the week for her amazing luck in finding a wonderful pair of Francis Klein sunglasses on the very day they arrived in the store.
Lael had similar luck a couple of years ago with a pair of IC Berlin glasses. The IC Berlin brand has been good to Lael and when he came in to the store for a new eye exam, he knew he wanted to stick with the durable and stylin’ IC Berlin frames!
Of course, being a man of impeccable taste (he is married to Eugenie after all) Lael chose one of the newest and, if I do say so myself, awesomest IC Berlin frames in the store.
Lucky guy.
Nice choice, Lael, and congratulations on being our CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!

Oh my!
I just stumbled upon what may be one of the happiest places on the Internet!
A blog devoted to ***vintage eyewear***
Two teenagers modeling “Boy Watcher” glasses, California, 1965.
Vintage shapes are very much “in” right now and it’s fun to look at all of these styles. But buying actual vintage frames creates the risk of breakage when putting prescription lenses in the frame.
That’s why I’m so very delighted to have lines like Francis Klein and Lafont bringing back the vintage shapes. And who would I be to forget my lovely Theo, they’ve been taking inspiration from these vintage geek shapes and re-making them with titanium in bright colors!
Oh joy joy joy, it’s such a lovely day to look at AWESOME GLASSES!
Stop by Saturday, June 13th for our Father’s Day Party featuring the frames of Maui Jim and IC!Berlin! We’ll have a party going from 11-5!

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!!!.
