Second Specs (Sherwood Park location) offers a no pressure but very helpful environment in which to choose your all important eye glass frames. Their selection is wide and their prices are fantastic. They have easy access hours of operation. You can bring your own frames and have the lenses put in. Eye exams are available. No reason to go anywhere for your glasses but Second Specs!
