The Spectacle has been serving the Salt Lake City area and visitors from near and far since 1985. We specialize in custom and rimless eyewear, progressive and thin lenses, and quality brand name eyeglasses and sunglasses.


Come in and see our selection. We have the most selection in the state. You'll also enjoy the atmosphere that the founder, John Cottam, has personally crafted for your enjoyment.


The Spectacle has been providing quality eyewear since we opened in Trolley Square in 1985. The state of Utah does not require an Optician to be licensed. However, the founder of The Spectacle holds a current Nevada Optician's License, and is a Fellow of the National Opticians' Association.
