A great guy, Omar is wearing his brand new Eye'Dc frame in a new video commercial for his company! Omar looks great and this style compliments him and his job in the technical field he is in. His vision is also great in his first progressive that is digital. Omars' portion starts at 2:28. We would like to thank Omar for sending us a link to his video!
We made a pair of Prescription Goggles in a bifocal for a customer. It makes seeing the trail and then reading trail maps much easier. He loved them and sent these pics in of him wearing them. Thanx to Michael for taking the time to send these in and we are happy to be able to help you enjoy the mountains even more!

We just love ic! berlin at The Eye Bar. Our customers and friends do too! Heres a fantastic video Ralph, who owns ic! berlin, put together. Its a great little glimpse into their culture, philosophy and technology that goes into making these fabulous sheet metal frames. From simple drawings, CAD design, tooling, metal stamping, laser engraving, hand finishing, inspection, and even Ralph singing!
Very. Cool. Company.
Enjoy!
Kame ManNen Eyeglasses are an Eye Bar favorite! Heres a little background on this amazing Japanese eyewear designer.
Kame ManNen was first made in the 1917 at a time when product durability was highly regarded. The founders of Kame ManNen had a vision in mind; ” To create distinctly beautiful optical frames using the finest materials and built to last.
With passion and craftsmanship, Kame ManNen was born, given it’s name from an old Japanese proverb; “turtles live for a thousand years”. This proverb symbolises the collections’ timeless design and the meaning behind the turtle logo found on the temple tips.
Fun video I ran across. Its amazing to see styles from 60 years ago get recycled and redefined. The cat eye glasses at the end of the video are all the rage right now! Whats old is new again! We have many styles that are vintage inspired. L.A. Eyeworks, Robert Marc, SALT.and Face a Face all have great vintage inspired shapes
Let's set the Record Straight.
1. We dont talk bad about any other optical. Notice the period. Now if someone who has been in your store complains to us how they were treated, ripped off, lied to,etc. We will merely listen and tell them we are sorry they experienced that.
2. Our main concern is putting great looking frames and perfect prescriptions on our customers.
3. Stacey is an amazing licensed optician. She can figure out and solve nearly any problem or issue with your frames and prescription.
4. No one owns a customer. People are free moral agents who can spend their money wherever they please.
5. We alway do as much as is humanly possible to make everyone happy. While this is impossible to get to 100% we certainly will always do our best.
6. Next time you have a complaint, from one business owner to another, please call me at 314-367-1848 or email me at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
7. Technology is amazing when you understand how to use it.
8. The Eye Bar is family owned with no outside investors or benefactors.
9. Please read point number one again.
Amazing Testimonial from a customer. We loved working with her and look to a great relationship for years to come! There are many options from where to purchase your eyewear. Every place wants to say they are the best! All we can tell you from The Eye Bar is that we strive every day to have the finest eyewear we can find from across the globe at different price points. In addition, we put you in the best lenses available for your budget and show you the options your prescription calls for. No pressure, no bait and switch, and we don't put other companies down. We believe you will truly find something you love at our store and enjoy the experience we have to offer. Stacey, Jared, Jango (our 10 lb. pup) and the other girls who work here invite you to our store to see for yourself.
See this great testimonial below:
This is a long overdue note to thank you and Jared for the amazing work you did to make my glasses. With such a strong correction needed for distance, and another for reading, my glasses have always been thick and uncomfortable. Somehow, you were able to make them look like regular glasses that are so fashionable, I sometimes now actually opt to wear my glasses during the day--something I would NEVER have done in the past. Add to that the fact that you were able to get them to me in one day, and all I can say is that I am one happy customer!
Hope you have a happy holiday, and thanks again!
Best,
F. Katz
SALT. Optics Comes to St Louis only at The Eye Bar!
SALT. Optics is Coming to St Louis exclusive to us! We met with Joe, one of the founders and owners of SALT. He told us he was waiting around for us to finally commit to SALT. as a brand and bring it to St Louis. Joe has been following The Eye Bar for some time and could tell he wanted to work with us since we seemed to share so many core values as companies. After talking for some time, we decided to work together!
