Retrospex

Retrospex Original stock vintage eyeglass frames from the 1970's - 2010's. Carnation Optical has been in existence since 1969.

During our move in 2020, we unearthed TONS of forgotten frames. Rather than throw them in a box to be hidden away for another 30 years, it seems better to share them with the world. This endeavor is independent of the traditional Carnation Optical that you know and love, our retail store isn't changing. If you're looking for that wild or unique piece of spectacle history, you just may find it here.

Come see us in Hartville for our first event of the year! TONS of new styles added!
