Union Optical Plan

Looking for some spectacular vintage spectacles? Set your sights on Union Optical. This quaint, little shop has been around for years, and the interior shows its age. I felt like I was walking into my grandmother’s living room with the dark but bold, 60’s kind-​of vibe.
Union Optical is a full service optometrist, filling prescriptions and giving eye exams. They also have a variety of frames to choose from. However, I was there for the secret goods: the vintage frames. I inquired with the clerk, who pulled out a few small boxes from under the counter. While the vintage selection was small, they had both male and female frames. New styles come in as often as estate sales happen. I picked out a pair of cat-​eye wingtips and had them fitted with my prescription for under $ 80.
My only complaint is that women had smaller heads back in the 50’s, so the frames are a bit small, even after getting fitted. These are my special occasion glasses, so if you’re considering a pair for every day use, make sure they fit comfortably.
Cost for frame & prescription lenses: Under $ 100.
