The cutest optical shop in town is celebrating their 1st Birthday
Eyefinery Optical Studio is solo owned and operated by local optician Rebecca Knezacek. She started her career in optics in 2011 in Victoria and hasn’t looked back! After spending three years working for frame designers and boutiques in England, then helping two clinics open she felt it was time to follow her dreams and open her own boutique.
Rebecca started Eyefinery on Salt Spring Island in 2022, but after a big life change decided to relocate the shop to Victoria. ‘I really wanted to find a quirky little space in Fernwood for Eyefinery, and I couldn’t be happier with its new home.’ As a single mom, Rebecca is incredibly thankful for the community she is both a resident and business owner of.
The shop has a complete one-on-one experience with eyewear that’s been curated from global independent brands and Canadian made lenses. Rebecca believes in quality over quantity with only 200 always changing frames in store at a time. Rarely re-ordered and exclusive, each customer has their own style. ‘My goal is to have the whole neighbourhood wearing different glasses, we’re all so unique – why wear the same thing?’ says Rebecca.
Eyefinery promotes slow fashion, repairing and reusing eyewear is welcome. She offers free frame adjustments and minor repairs to everyone in the neighbourhood, even if you purchased your glasses elsewhere. If they are sliding down, sitting crooked, missing a screw or nosepad those are all things that can be fixed. Have a new prescription, but love your frames? Rebecca will happily update your lenses and even does some of the lab work in house which means you don’t have to send your glasses away.
To celebrate their Fernwood birthday, Eyefinery is hosting a trunk show, showcasing the entire Kirk & Kirk and Raen collections – including sunglasses. This event is special in that every style in every colour will be here. There will be discounts on frames and lenses, a raffle, food and bevys.
May 9 & 10, 2025 – 10am to 5pm at 2004b Fernwood Rd
