Specks `N Shades in Kingsport, TN | Optical Stores | Tennessee Catalog

We have styles in both full rim (such as Seiko, Omomuki, Charmant, Takeo Kikuchi, O & X New York, and Nishiki), and rimless styles(such as Silhouette, Kawasaki, and Lindberg Air Titanium). These frames are not only light weight and strong, but also hypo-allergenic.
Specks `N Shades has been serving the Tri-Cities area since 1967. We specialize in custom work such as:
Drill-mount rimless frames
Polarized lenses
Titanium frames
Low vision aids
Specialty tints and Anti-reflective coatings
Polarized Lenses- Polarized lenses enable you to see clearly under conditions where there is excessive reflected horizontal light from surfaces such as wet pavement, water, sand, snow, or ice. The polarization acts as a set of tiny "mini-blinds" that literally block the glare from those surfaces. The result is clearer, more comfortable vision. The most popular colors of polarized lenses are gray and brown.
Thinnest lenses possible - We grind our lenses as thin as possible for the prescription while maintaining the utmost safety. This results in the thinnest, lightest-weight eyeglasses possible. Therefore, your glasses will be, not only the lightest eyewear possible, but also the most comfortable and attractive eyewear we can provide.
Lightest weight frames available - We carry a wide selection of Titanium frames. This metal is the lightest, most durable metal available. It is also hypo-allergenic, so those who have problems with metal frames pitting or causing an allergic reaction in the skin don`t have to worry. Finally, a metal frame you can enjoy! We also carry Silhouette`s SPX plastic frames. This material is the lightest, most resilient plastic on the market.
Golfing glasses are also popular. We can provide several different styles of "golf bifocals" so you can keep up with your score without sacrificing your swing.
Small frames are in style now, but caused a problem with traditional no-line bifocals because there just wasn`t enough room for the reading area. Now, there are several "compact" lenses on the market that are designed specifically for smaller frames.
