Spectacles Family Eyecare, located in the heart of downtown South Pittsburg, recently hosted a Father’s Day Trunk Show in collaboration with Costa Del Mar.
The event was held on Thursday, June 12, in early celebration of Father’s Day and to encourage visitors to stop by and learn more about the services the local business offers in providing eye care to the community. Office Manager Logan Willis explained that while the clinic has hosted several Trunk Shows in the past, this was the first Father’s Day-themed event during her time in the role. She also noted that Spectacles has partnered with the Costa Del Mar eyewear brand for several years, a collaboration initiated by Dr. Karen LeBlanc.
Costa Del Mar began in 1983 in Daytona Beach, Florida, and quickly gained recognition for its high-performance eyewear and diverse lens options tailored to different environmental conditions and user preferences. Sales Representative John Marshall provided further insight into the brand’s lens technology, stating that all Costa sunglasses are polarized and offer 100% UV protection. The lenses come in a variety of styles and colors, with three main base tints: gray, copper, and rose. Each base is designed to filter light according to specific outdoor lighting conditions—for instance, gray-base lenses with blue mirrors are ideal for bright sunlight, while rose-base lenses with gold tint are better suited for overcast conditions.
Since partnering with Spectacles, Costa has also begun offering branded eyeglasses, which are available for patients visiting the clinic.
“We’re known for our sunglasses, but we also have eyeglasses. And these guys do a phenomenal job,” said Marshall.
Dr. LeBlanc and the staff at Spectacles Family Eyecare are proud to serve patients from near and far with their vision needs. The team is also planning to host more public events in the future to welcome both new and returning visitors.
