Neal, Optician

Meet Neal, your go-to optician with over 30 years of experience! Neal began his journey in England, where he owned a successful optical business. He is dedicated to helping you find the perfect look and the most comfortable frames, offering a range of pricing options to suit your needs.

Neal has a keen eye for style and regularly attends eyewear fashion shows in Milan, Paris, London, and Las Vegas, handpicking unique and fun designs. As the owner of a small, independent eyewear store, Neal sources frames from independent companies, giving you choices that the big chains simply can't offer.

With extensive knowledge in lenses, Neal has worked with Varilux, Zeiss, and Hoya for many years. He even attended Varilux University in Paris, where he met numerous lens designers.

Outside of work, Neal is a passionate sports fan. He loves watching the Edmonton Elks, cheering for the Oilers, and following the England football (soccer) team. When he's not at sports events or concerts, you can find Neal and his dog Lola enjoying walks around Lacombe.

Julie, Receptionist

Julie has been a beloved part of the Spexworld family since our humble beginnings in a cozy little shop across town.

With a keen eye for style, Julie loves helping you find the perfect frames and isn't afraid to offer her candid opinion! When she's not brightening up the store, she's enjoying life on the farm with her husband Dean, tending to their goats, sheep, and pigs, and growing an array of delicious vegetables.

Lola, Boss

Lola, our resident eyewear connoisseur, brings a unique perspective to the store—one that's delightfully close to the ground. Hailing from a distinguished British lineage of shop dogs, Lola has been a fixture at our store since its opening.

With a nose for style and an eye for detail, Lola ensures that every frame meets her rigorous standards. Her specialties include:

Tail-Wag Approval: If Lola’s tail wags, you know you’ve found the perfect pair.

Paw-sitive Recommendations: Lola has an uncanny ability to match eyewear to personalities, often selecting frames that bring out the best in our customers’ features.

Napping on the Job: Despite her busy schedule, Lola always finds time to nap in the sunniest spot of the store, reminding us all of the importance of work-life balance.

Come meet Lola and let her help you find your next favorite pair of glasses. Just don’t be surprised if she tries to trade your frames for a treat!
