Lynda Winter is here to dispel any notions that glasses are a hassle.
As the owner of Great Spectacles, she obviously understands the necessity of a well-fitting pair of frames. But, she’s also so efficient at finding you a pair you’ll love that you’ll wonder why you ever settled for anything less than the exceptional assistance you’ll find at her Stockton boutique.
Although their Lincoln Center location has been in operation since 2002, the shop itself was established in 1990. Before that, though, Lynda had gathered plenty of optician experience working for three different optometrists over the span of 20 years. Lynda is now an independent optician, and although there is no optometrist in the office, she’s an expert at filling prescriptions.
“I’ve been doing this for 50 years,” explains Lynda, noting that fashion didn’t really factor into optician work at the time. But as a good optician, she knows that it’s not so much about the current trends as it is the person choosing their frames. “I’ve always cared about quality, about how people look. I care that they’re comfortable and happy.”
The brands you’ll find at Great Spectacles reflect Lynda’s dedication to quality. From Chanel to Oliver Peoples and everything in between, you can sport designer eyewear in both prescription and non-prescription lenses. Because the Great Spectacles’ team attends optical shows in both New York and Las Vegas every year, they have an expansive selection of luxury brands to choose from. Which means, of course, that customers do too. So many choices may seem overwhelming, but anyone who enters Great Spectacles is in for a refreshingly relaxing experience. This is evident as soon as you enter the tranquil shop, where Lynda and the employees are ready to offer one-on-one assistance to help you find your perfect frames.
In addition to selling glasses, Great Spectacles also offers repairs and adjustments. Appointments for these services, or for choosing a new pair, are not required but are recommended if you would like assistance from a specific person.
“Glasses are not a crutch,” promises Lynda. “And if you spend money on doing your hair, and on your makeup, you should be prioritizing your eyewear, too.” So put your faith in her and her store, and get ready to walk out of there with a new outlook on life—literally.
