Spectacles of Union Square

Spectacles, located on San Francisco’s historic Maiden Lane since 1972, has always been more concerned with precision and accuracy than the latest fads and gimmicks. Owner Kevin Hershey studied under master optician Horst Goos, a European optician and lab man. At Spectacles, everything is done in-house. Spectacles' on-site lab specializes in custom rimless mountings and uses tried and true products such as Varilux and Carl Zeiss lenses. At Spectacles you can find everything from Cartier to unused vintage eyewear.
