Specs Downtown

In the midst of distinctive restaurants and shops, is an exceptional vision center that has taken part in the renaissance of downtown Florence, Alabama. Specs Downtown has firmly established itself as the stylish standard for first-class eye-care. Passionate about the optical health of the Shoals community and creating a one-of-a-kind eye care experience, they have changed the game in optometry with their fashion forward eyewear, exclusive technology, and superior customer service.

Specs Downtown is unlike any eye care center you have visited. They have gone above and beyond to create a first-rate, fantastic experience from the minute you walk in the door. Every detail of the space has been designed to make customers feel welcome and excited about picking out that perfect pair of glasses. Specs will “decorate your face” with the latest, designer eyewear, including Ray-Ban, Coach, Dolce & Gabanna, Nike, and Versace. Their glasses are exhibited on color-shifting displays in their gorgeous, modern office, adorned floor to ceiling with unique art and vibrant décor. At Specs wearing glasses is no longer a routine necessity, but a fashionable, fun choice that leaves you feeling confident in the way you look and the quality of your vision.

 

Owned by Northwest, Alabama natives Barry R. Basden, O.D., Benjamin W. Kachelman, O.D., and M. Chadwick Brewer, O.D., you can rest assured knowing you are in the hands of doctors who are passionate about taking care of their community. Joined by their Associate, Kathryn E. Thigpen, O.D., they created a team that is personable, kind, and sincere in learning about and serving each individual customer’s needs. After practicing in the Shoals area for over 20 years, they wanted to contribute to the flourishing downtown Florence area and opened the Specs Downtown location in August of 2014. Their presence is yet another example of the creative excellence that is now saturating our small, vibrant town.

 

This excellence is displayed in their customer service, which is present from the personable, friendly staff to the first-rate technology. After walking through their stunning front office, you’re invited to sit in their waiting room which offers coffee, plush seating, and a massage chair. Appointments are stress-free and promise the highest level of vision technology. For those who need to return to work after their appointment, the Optos Optomap, which takes a 3D picture of your retina, optic nerve, and blood vessels, eliminates the need to dilate your eyes and is one example of the advanced technology available to clients. Specs is patient focused and has invested in only the best equipment to provide accurate, quality care for every customer.

So, be sure to check out this local vision center located on Court Street in downtown Florence. Whether you’re taking care of a serious medical concern or in need of an everyday eye exam, you will receive the best in vision care.
