Great experience! Got an appointment the same day, they were able to work me in no hassle. Very friendly service. I just needed a new prescription for contact lenses. My typical experience with eye exams is usually a huge pain where they try to sell you overpriced lenses and give you a glare when you just ask for a copy of your prescription. The whole process took less than 15 minutes, they handed me my prescription without asking and even recommended the cheapest place online to order from! Did I mention they offered me a beverage (beer) while I filled out the preliminary paperwork? They also have a nice selection of high end frames, but I was already satisfied with my current pair of glasses. They didn't try to get all salesy on me about that either. Highly recommend this place!

Thank you Levi for the great review. We love what we do and enjoy helping people see better, look better and give the excellent service people deserve!

We were told that t2 Eyewear is closing up shop! We were told later by our Swissflex rep that we can service t2 frames if they need warranty or breakage repairs. So if you have bought t2 elsewhere over the years, rest assured we can service your eyewear.  Swissflex, which is made the same way as t2 (a guy left Swissflex to start t2) is a brand we have worn for years and love. They are fantastic frames that last years, require minimum care, great for active people and are some of the lightest frames in the world.

New Video montage from the great guys at SALT. Optics. featuring the new 2011 styles. Hip, understated and made well.  Love it

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 received the first shipment of Oliver Peoples Vintage Collection. They are sick. Well made, beautiful, hand-made frames from the original factories in Japan. Great Vintage case and cloth. We are the only shop in Missouri that has the collection!

Heres some pics to give you a preview!

Video and more info after the break!

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!

We often get asked why are frames so expensive?  Well not all eyeglass frames are, however, nearly all the frames we have at The Eye Bar are hand made in either Japan, Italy or France.  Heres a little video of polishing the acetate by hand from a Japanese craftsman.
